The project entailed the expansion of the existing locker rooms along with the addition of one locker room for visiting teams and a trainers room. Along with the improvements and additional square V footage, the new and improved locker rooms were fitted with audio and visual equipment. The funding for the project, estimated at $1.1 million, was donated by Bill Paulette ‘69, Gil Minor ‘63, Senator Elmon M Gray ‘46, and the Keydet Club. The Patchin Field Locker Complex was constructed by Paulette’s general contracting company, KBS, and that building will carry his name when Gray-Minor Stadium is completed. I In a separate improvement project, VMI Baseball has recently made significant upgrades to its playing field. In 2001 the program added a completely new infield and in 2002 a new outfield surface (along with new fencing and bullpens) was added. Furthermore, VMI has begun construction on the Gray-Minor B Baseball Stadium, made possible by generous contributions from VMI alumni Gil Minor '63 and Senator Elmon T. Gray '46. The plans above show the proposed stadium, expected to be completed in time for the a start of the 2007 season at an expected cost of $4.2 million. Plans for the complex call for quality seating for over 1,300 spectators and will include box (chair back) seating on both the first base and third base s sides, an upper deck for seating on the first base side, a concession and restroom building, a modern press box and field lighting for night con- e tests. b a l l

The county takes its name from Natural Bridge, the massive stone formation that i spans Cedar Creek in the southern part of the county. For centuries, this area has been a natural s thoroughfare from the northeast to the richness of the lands west of the Appalachians. The Cherokee and Monacan Indian tribes lived in the area prior to its settlement by European colonists, which began in the 1730’s. Most of the settlers were Scotch-Irish and I Germans, who migrated south from Pennsylvania in search of more land. Several large land grants, notably one to Benjamin Borden, stimulated set- s tlement in the 1740’s. Grantees were required to induce a certain number of families to settle on the granted land. The Borden Grant, originally 100,000 acres, included most of present-day Rockbridge County. V In 1777, Rockbridge County was estab- lished, and the town of Lexington was founded as The city of Lexington, Va. is nationally renowned for its beauty and charm. the county seat. M A defining event occurred in 1782, when Liberty Hall Academy was moved from Augusta County to a site just west of Lexington. The I school’s future was assured in 1796, when George Washington gave it $50,000 worth of James River Canal stock, at that time the largest such bequest to a college in the history of the new nation. The school was renamed B Washington College in the general’s honor, and soon moved to its present location after the Liberty Hall building burned. The ruins of Liberty a Hall can still be seen just north of Rt. 60 at the western edge of town. In 1839, the Virginia legislature established s Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, in what had previously been a state arsenal.

2006 VMI Baseball 13 H Head Coach e Head Coach a d MarlinMarlin IkenberryIkenberry C VMIVMI ‘95‘95 „ ThirdThird SeasonSeason o a s Marlin Ikenberry enters his third season as the head coach of the VMI baseball team, he looks to continue the upward trend of the AKeydets on the diamond, a run he has been instrumental in through his days as a player, assistant coach, and now as the team’s head coach. c Marlin Ikenberry was named head coach on July 22, 2003, being promoted to the top spot in the program after former head coach Tom Slater departed VMI in the summer of 2003 to accept a coaching position at the University of Florida. Slater is currently in his second season as head h baseball coach at Auburn University. As Slater’s top assistant and recruiting coordinator for three years, Ikenberry has played a key role in the resurgence of the VMI baseball pro- gram that set a school record for victories in 2003 at 24-28. That same year, the Keydets posted a 16-14 mark in the Southern Conference, secur- ing their first winning conference mark since 1969. Since taking over the helm, Ikenberry has continued that success, leading the Keydets to a 23-32 mark in 2004, which stood as the second- M most wins in school history, before breaking the school record with last year’s 27-28 mark and first appearance in the Big South Tournament, where the Keydets earned the fifth seed. Ikenberry has played an enormous role in VMI's recent success. He was responsible for signing 19 players to letters of intent, including 2003 a Southern Conference Freshman-of-the-Year and Louisville Slugger freshman All-American Kelly Sweppenhiser and 2003 All-SoCon Tournament selection Jon Wade. This past season, for the first time in five years, a pair of Keydets were honored as All-Conference performers, as Ikenberry r signees Sweppenhiser and Matt Smith teamed to give VMI both honorees on the First Team left side of the infield. Ikenberry, 32, also served as VMI's pitching and catching coach in 2003 and was vital in the staff's remarkable improvement that season. l Working closely with the Keydet pitchers and catchers, Ikenberry helped guide the pitching staff to an improvement of nearly two runs in team earned run average from the previous season. "We're very excited to have Marlin Ikenberry as our head baseball coach," VMI athletic director and former Keydets head baseball coach i Donny White said. "He has all the ingredients to be a great head coach. His recruiting work has made a difference in the program and has certainly been instrumental to our success. He has the leadership and abilities to build on the program's recent performance and reach the goal of a confer- n ence championship." A 1995 graduate of VMI, Ikenberry played for the Keydets and was recruited by VMI Hall of Fame Coach Chris Finwood, now head coach at Western Kentucky. Ikenberry returned to his alma mater in the summer of 2000 after spending three years at the college of William and Mary as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. While in I Williamsburg, Ikenberry earned a reputation as one of the state's top recruiters and landed two high school All-Americans and freshman All-Americans. k In 2000, the Tribe of William and Mary finished with a school record 32 wins and placed third in the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament. The team also set a school record for best fielding percentage at .967. The next season, William and Mary won the CAA e Championship and earned a berth in the NCAA Regional Tournament. During his coaching career, Ikenberry has helped guide 19 players onto professional n careers in baseball. In recent years, Ikenberry was instrumental in the development of pitchers Duke Acors, Jeremy Harper, Phil Hendrix, as well as catcher Andy Barden and shortstop Matt Smith. b Ikenberry was a four-year starting catcher for the Keydets. While playing, he developed a reputation for his excellent defensive skills and his handling of the pitching staff. He also e caught for former Keydet and major league pitcher Ryan Glynn. He played on VMI's 1993 squad that advanced to the Southern Conference r Championship game and ranked third in the nation in defense. In 1994, he helped the Keydets in breaking the school record for wins along with a third place finish in the Southern Conference Tournament. r A native of Richmond, Va., Ikenberry has two brothers who both attended VMI.
