Holy Cross looks toward the 2010 season with excitement, “I expect Bobby to make a big jump from what he’s already knowing that its potential on the mound and at the plate could done since my arrival,” said DiCenzo. “This is a big year for him, not only push the Crusaders toward their third-consecutive Patriot especially with his hope to play at the next level, which I think League Tournament appearance, but also their fi rst-ever conference he has a very legitimate chance of doing. We look at him as our title. The team’s three captains — Ryan George, Matt Perry and number one guy especially with his improving command, control John Sills — will be counted upon to lift Holy Cross this spring and velocity.” and a core group of other returning position players — headlined Shapiro is another starter looking to enhance his sound by junior Eric Oxford and sophomore Steve Tkowski — will be performances from a season ago. Last year, Shapiro recorded a expected to help energize the offensive front. career-high 41 strikeouts in 57-2/3 innings, leading the team. His While the Crusaders’ strength should be split evenly between 2009 numbers continued to grow in almost every category after pitching and , the team also has the speed, patience and he won Patriot League of the Year honors in 2008. In all, ability to help Holy Cross make a push toward its third consecutive Shapiro made 10 starts, registering a 3-4 record and walking just appearance in the Patriot League Tournament. The Crusaders have 16 batters. made just four postseason appearances since joining the conference “If Matt is half as good as he was numbers wise from two years and are currently poised to earn head coach Greg DiCenzo his third ago, we’ll be in great shape,” said DiCenzo. “He has made huge showing in his third season at the helm. The team ended last year strides in the off-season as far as gaining his strength back and we are with a 22-27 record and fi nished third in the Patriot League for the certain he will return to the form he was in his sophomore year.” second consecutive season. Sophomore Nate Koneski has also experienced success as a Several of Holy Cross’ most productive players from last at Holy Cross, and the expectation is no different spring return in 2010, giving the Crusaderss plenty of reasons to in 2010. As a freshman last spring, Koneski made six starts in 15 be optimistic. appearances, instantly proving that he can handle a starting role. Hailing from North Dighton, Mass., Koneski was invited to play in PITCHERS the prestigious Baseball League over the summer, where Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 8/1 Holy Cross returns the largest number of players in the pitching staff, setting themselves up for a truly seasoned group MAATTTT performing on the mound. The Crusaders will look no further SHHAPIROAPIRO than George and fellow seniors Bobby Holmes and Matt Shapiro to lead the staff. George returns as the team’s go-to closer, as he totaled fi ve saves to lead the team and Patriot League in a total of 20 appearances last season. His number of saves has put him in the Holy Cross record books, as he is now tied with Scott Hampe (2005) for the most saves in a season. He ranked second on the team and in the league for his number of outings, next to fellow Crusader senior Tommy Arrigg. He also fi nished 2009 with a total of 28 strikeouts in only 20 inning pitched. “We see Ryan as the one person that we can lean on at any point of the game to get us out of a jam,” said DiCenzo. “We have full confi dence that he can come in to the game and shut the door whenever he is called upon. He relishes in the closing role, which is huge because at the collegiate level almost every pitcher wants to be a starting pitcher. Ryan truly wants to be the guy we go to late in the game.” After earning his second-consecutive Patriot League All- Tournament team honor last season, Holmes looks to improve upon his late season surge where he allowed just three earned runs in three games at the end of the 2009 slate.

CATCHERS Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 1/2 Holy Cross enters the 2010 season with two players who will be a force behind the plate. Sophomore Steve Tkowski made 17 starts at as a freshman in 2009 and is expected to lead the group behind home plate this spring, after ranking second on the team with a .385 batting average last season. In addition, the Crusaders welcome freshmen Stephen Wadsworth. Wadsworth comes to Holy Cross from Wayland, Mass. after playing three years of varsity baseball at Buckingham, Browne & Nichols. He was named ISL Offensive Player of the Year after batting .596 as a senior. “I see Wadsworth as getting instant playing time behind the dish for us,” said DiCenzo. “He’s a big, strong kid that will also help us offensively. Tkowski is also a big factor in our offense and I see the two of them excelling on both defensive and offensive sides of the playing fi eld.”

INFIELDERS Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 4/3 The Crusaders’ infi eld features depth at each position, as each spot can feature a number of different players on the roster. At third base, Holy Cross is led by the reigning Patriot League Player of the Year, senior captain Matt Perry. Perry completed last season leading the team and Patriot League in both batting average (.423) TOOMMYMMY and on-base percentage (.491), and tallied a career-high 77 hits, ARRRIGGRIGG ranking fi rst amongst Holy Cross -season records. “We’re very balanced around our infi eld, starting at third base with Matt,” DiCenzo said. “Perry is a very exciting player, he made three appearances for the . He fi nished his fi rst year in a Crusaders uniform posting a 2-2 record JOOHNHN with a total of 33 strikeouts in 45-1/3 innings pitched. “Koneski will defi nitely return for us in the starting rotation this SIILLSLLS year,” DiCenzo said. “He has all the pitches and the right makeup to excel. He’s worked extremely hard and we’re really excited to see what he brings to the mound his sophomore year.” The fourth spot in the starting rotation has been left open for four players who have the potential to make a major impact. Sophomores John Pedrotty and Matt Croglio, freshman Vaughn Hayward and senior Chris Blanchard will all be factors in the fourth starting role. “Each one of these guys; Pedrotty, Croglio, Hayward and Blanchard all have what it takes to fi ll our fourth spot,” says DiCenzo. “The biggest thing I’m looking for is consistency and who has the capability to pitch 20 games. All of them can do that.” Other pitchers expected to make a signifi cant impact include Arrigg and freshmen Andrew Boyce, John Colella, Josh Hauser, Chris Kono and Tom Marra. Arrigg made 23 appearances in 2009, tops among Holy Cross’ returning arms. The fi ve freshmen, on the other hand, are sure additions to a very deep and seasoned pitching staff. 9 22010010 HOOLYLY CRROSSOSS BAASEBALLSEBALL

BRRENDANENDAN His 10 home runs and 436 putouts rank fi rst in the Holy Cross MCCRREAEA single-season record books while his 45 RBI rank second. “Eric is our mainstay at fi rst base,” DiCenzo said. “He’s a great hitter and takes pride in his defense around the bag. We have depth at the position from our freshmen, but Oxford is the guy we’ll lean on every game.” Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 5/1 Just like the infi eld, the 2010 Holy Cross roster features a number of players that could be ready at anytime to fi ll the three outfi eld spots. The depth that the team possesses at these positions has the Crusaders excited about their potential. Three letterwinners return as the team’s go-to players for the outfi eld positions and include juniors Jack Laurendeau, Brendan McCrea and sophomore Chris Sintetos. McCrea will fi ll the centerfi eld spot for the third straight year and provides the team with a huge defensive edge after posting a .965 fi elding percentage last year. He made 48 appearances in 2009 and fi nished with a .304 batting average, third-highest on the team. He scored 29 runs, 12 doubles, one and had 22 RBI in 161 particularly from the offensive standpoint. Matt is a veteran guy, and at-bats. its tough to try and change up the position of a conference player “From a defensive standpoint, Brendan is one of the best of the year.” defensive players that I have ever been able to coach,” DiCenzo said. Holy Cross is equally encouraged by its two primary options at “He has defi nitely solidifi ed himself as our starting centerfi elder.” and second base – freshman Alex Maldonado and senior captain John Sills. Maldonado comes to Holy Cross from Brooklyn, BRRENDANENDAN MCCRREAEA & N.Y., where he played two years of varsity baseball at Xaverian High JAACKCK LAAURENDEAUURENDEAU School. In his career, Maldonado batted .423 with a .527 on-base percentage and stole 105 bases, adding a new source of speed for the Crusaders. Returning as a tri-captain for the second straight year, Sills will come back as the team’s primary option at second base, having played in a total of 115 collegiate contests. Sills is expected to push for a superior senior year, as he recorded career-highs in hits (53) and RBI (31) in his junior year. Hailing from Milton, Mass., Sills has displayed terrifi c hands on the infi eld as a very smooth defender. Senior Chris Blanchard will also be used primarily in the four-man infi eld rotation. Blanchard played in 15 games around the infi eld last spring, also splitting time as a pitcher. “From a defensive standpoint, Alex will help us up the middle right away,” DiCenzo said. “He and John had productive falls, and I feel like I can rely on them to get the job done for us in season. Chris will defi nitely get a lot of playing time for us this spring too as he is one of the most athletic guys we have.” Junior Eric Oxford returns as the team’s starting fi rst baseman after spending both his freshman and sophomore campaigns at that spot. Oxford, a Danvers, Mass., native, enters the season as one of Holy Cross’ most experienced hitters. He has batted at least .280 in each of his two seasons, highlighted by a career-high .324 average 1100 22010010 HOOLYLY CRROSSOSS BAASEBALLSEBALL

I can put him at fi rst base, use him as a designated hitter and he also works well in left fi eld. I expect him to see some time out there as well,” said DiCenzo.

SCHEDULE Known for playing in a good balance of non-conference and conference games, Holy Cross’ 2010 slate remains challenging. While the typical early-season Florida trip is not on the schedule, the team begins competition on the road in warm-weather Georgia and South Carolina, taking on Georgia Southern, the College of Charleston, Savannah State and Charleston Southern. In all, Holy Cross will play 31 games on the road and 18 at home. The Crusad- ers’ 20-game Patriot League slate, in addition to a strong selection of non-conference midweek games, should help prepare the team for a strong postseason . “I think we have a really good mix of non-conference games,” DiCenzo said. “I don’t think we’ve put ourselves in a vice early on in the season, like going to Arizona, but we do have games against some very competitive teams on a national level. It is those non- conference games that will prepare us greatly for our games in the Patriot League.” The 2010 season opens on the road with contests against the four southern schools already mentioned from Feb. 27-March 5. The team will then head a bit north to take on Delaware the week- end of March 13-14. Holy Cross follows that weekend with a at Siena on March 17 before hosting their fi rst home game against Quinnipiac on March 20.

The following pages provide many highlights from Holy Cross’ distinguished 123 seasons of baseball history, along with important dates during those years.

Holy Cross is renowned for its academic excellence and men- toring-based, liberal arts education in the Jesuit tradition. An ex- clusively undergraduate institution with just over 2,800 students, Holy Cross is the oldest Catholic college in New England. Founded in 1843 in Worcester, Mass., the campus occupies 174 beautifully landscaped acres, featuring traditional and contemporary architec- ture, state-of-the-art facilities, and striking views from atop Mount St. James. Academic life at Holy Cross is serious, challenging and excit- ing. Student-professor exchanges in the classroom, as well as in countless informal settings, are at the center of academic life at Holy Cross. With a student to faculty ratio of 10 to one, the op- portunity for individual attention is readily available. Few classes exceed an enrollment of 40, and most average 19 students. Holy Cross professors are widely respected in their academic specialties. Many have national reputations for their research and publications, creative performances, recordings and exhibitions. Almost all of the approximately 300 full- and part-time faculty

members hold doctoral degrees from some of the fi nest universi- ties here and abroad. Among the major academic facilities on campus are Dinand Library (which, along with three other specialized libraries on cam- pus, has total holdings of more than 650,000 volumes); Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery (with a regular schedule of world-class exhibitions); Brooks Concert Hall (acclaimed by performers and acoustical experts as one of the fi nest medium-sized performance spaces in the region); St. Joseph Memorial Chapel (built in 1924 and containing the recently renovated McCooey Chapel on the lower level); Hogan Campus Center (with bookstore, post offi ce, coffee lounge, cafeteria and pub); Carol and Park B. Smith Hall (housing the Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture and the Rehm Library); the Multimedia Resource Center in Edith Stein Hall; and the science complex in Haberlin, O’Neil and Swords Halls. Coeducational since 1972, Holy Cross enrolls a student body of proven accomplishment. Almost all graduated in the top 20 per- cent of their high school classes. Most live in 10 residence halls 6644 22010010 HOOLYLY CRROSSOSS BAASEBALLSEBALL

Smith (Class of 1954) kicked off the campaign to fund the facility. “Everyone to- day agrees that fi tness is very important,” Smith said in 1997. “I’m confi dent that this new Wellness Center — whose facilities will be second-to-none — will provide a real benefi t to current and future Holy Cross students, teachers and staff.” With 15,000 square feet, the wellness center provides over four times more space than the college previously had for varsity and com- munity exercise and training, and centralizes athletic equipment and facilities once found in fi ve locations in three campus buildings. On the fi rst level, the center houses a highly versatile strength and conditioning center for Holy Cross’ varsity student-athletes. There are areas for speed development programs, as well as for strength and endurance conditioning. The space, which is able to accommodate as many as 60 people at a time, enables Holy Cross’ larger sports teams The center also offers programs that explore the connections to work out together, thereby enhancing team unity. between fi tness and wellness, to help students learn how good health The second fl oor has been designed for use by all students, can complement and enhance other aspects of their educational faculty and staff.

The wellness center has been a huge boon to our program.” With 6,500 square feet of the center devoted solely to varsity ath- letes, Oliver and his staff to are able to accommodate a much larger number of athletes at one time, allowing teams to train together at times more convenient to their busy schedules as student-athletes. The state-of-the-art equipment in the wellness center in- cludes: • Eight multi-purpose power racks, each with over 600 pounds of free weights. • Seven Olympic lifting platforms with over 375 pounds of rubber- ized free weights. • More than 3,000 pounds of dumbbells. • Eighteen pieces of aerobic equipment. • Three full sets of plyometric boxes. • A number of free weight-loaded pieces of equipment to accom- modate injured athletes. “Thanks to the generous donation from the Smiths,” Oliver said, “This facility is state of the art.” 7711 22010010 HOOLYLY CRROSSOSS BAASEBALLSEBALL

Worcester, the economic and social center of central Massa- chusetts, is New England’s third-largest city with a population of 175,500. Holy Cross is one of the area’s 13 colleges and universities, which together make an enormous impact on the area’s culture and economy. Boston, Springfi eld, Hartford and Providence are all about a one-hour drive. is about three hours away; Cape Cod and the Atlantic Ocean are less then two hours from Worcester; and the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire can be reached in about three hours. Skiing is available at nearby Wachusett Mountain, and water sports enthusiasts can enjoy the hundreds of rivers and lakes in the area, including Lake Quinsigamond. First incorporated as a township in 1722, this settlement 40 miles west of Boston soon became an important transportation center on the Boston Turnpike, linking the capital city with New York and the west. One of America’s fi rst internal commercial waterways, the Blackstone Canal, linked the town with Providence to the south and gave direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. Primarily an industrial city through the mid-20th century, Worcester has emerged as an educational, medical, health care, cultural and entertainment center. An expanded business and com- mercial base, and the recent addition of a variety of high-technology

companies and growing biotechnology research parks, have made Worcester attractive to expanding companies. Downtown Worcester stands on the brink of a dramatic renaissance with a new hotel at- tached to the convention center, a new courthouse and major housing and retail projects all in the works. Worcester is nonetheless predominantly residential in character. More than 1,200 acres of city-owned parkland are found within its 38 square miles. Half of the entire city budget goes for educational purposes, testimony to the values of its inhabitants. Its parklands are among the oldest in the nation, as are its library and music festival. Worcester is a city proud of its past and secure in its future. Worcester is home to the DCU Center, a 13,000-seat arena that features big-name rock bands; Mechanics Hall, a world renowned venue for opera, jazz, blues and classical concerts; and the Worces- ter Art Museum, internationally known as one of the fi nest small museums in the United States. Other museums include the Higgins Armory Museum, a repository of Medieval arms and armor; the Ecotarium, which combines the features of a science museum, a planetarium and a zoo; the headquarters of the American Antiquarian Society; and the Worcester Historical Museum. After a $40 million restoration project, the historic Union Sta- tion now serves visitors and commuters via MBTA regional service and Amtrak national service. Worcester has world-class dining, ethnic restaurants, diners, coffee houses, bookstores, shopping, parks and recreation — all within easy reach of campus. 7722 22010010 HOOLYLY CRROSSOSS BAASEBALLSEBALL

In its second decade of combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 23 men’s and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all- sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy as full members, and Fordham and Georgetown as associate members in football. These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have, and continue to, play leadership roles in shaping our country. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked fi rst each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report.
