The award, which was voted on by the NCBWA Board of Directors, was chosen from a list that included all Division I Conference Coaches of the Year. Batesole has led the Bulldogs (42-29) to their College World Series since 1991 and guided Fresno State to Omaha as the first No. 4 seed to advance to the CWS since the 64-team format was introduced in 1999. "This is quite an honor," said Batesole, who along with his team arrived in Omaha early Thursday morning to prepare for the College World Series. "Achieving what this team has achieved to this point this is a culmination of a great administration, alumni base, the Dugout Club, a fantastic Fresno community that has no limit to its support of our program. I'm blessed to have the hardest working assistant coaches I have been associated with, and an amazingly understanding family at home. We could not be more proud of our players and specifically the leadership of our eight seniors who will all graduate on time or in their ninth semester. Everyone associated with our program deserves the credit for awards like these." He earned Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honors for the first time after Fresno State won their third consecutive regular season WAC title and third straight WAC Tournament crown. The Bulldogs followed that up with a third WAC Tournament Championship in a row and won the Long Beach NCAA Regional with a victory over Long Beach State and two wins over top-10 ranked San Diego. http://www.cstv.com/library/story/print/print_story.html 6/13/2008 CSTV: Print Story Page 2 of 2 After losing the opening game of the Tempe Super Regional, Fresno State posted back-to-back wins over No. 3 Arizona State to earn the trip to the CWS.
