15 DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY STATESMEN Statesmen Aim To Repeat As GSC Champs A Year of Firsts Delta State University is coming off a season that was full of Matt McAlpin firsts. The Statesmen claimed their third straight 50 win season for the first time in the history of the program with a record of 52-10 and made a third consecutive trip to the NCAA South Central Regional for the first time. They were also the only Gulf South Conference team to claim the West Division title 10 years in a row, ultimately claiming their ninth GSC title in 2003. Although the Statesmen lost in the South Central Regional to Abilene Christian (Texas), the Statesmen finished No. 4 in the post season national rankings. The quest for a fourth straight 50 win season, and ultimately HAMPIONS the chance to defend the GSC title and a National Championship is in good hands with the 2003 GSC coach of the year Mike Kinnison and his troops. Kinnison comes into C the 2004 season as the wininging active baseball coach in the NCAA at any level posting a .788 winning percentage.

This year’s staff includes two new Graduate Assistants. Rick McCarty comes to Delta State from Murray State in Kentucky. year after having Tommy John surgery. Itawamba CC transfer McCarty will be in charge of the pitchers while Jeff Price Scott Ellison (Jr., Houston) looks to be an asset to the bullpen. from Mississippi State will handle coaching the outfield. Andy “We have to fill the middle relief,” said Kinnison. Dillard, a former third baseman for the Statesmen, will also be a graduate assistant this season. The Statesmen are returning five starters for the 2004 campaign. The Statesmen’s pitching staff will be the strong point to the success of this season. Leading the pitching staff is Matt All-American outfielder Jud Thigpen (Sr., Cleveland), first McAlpin (Sr., Mize) who finished last season 11-3 with a 3.22 basemen Keith Fitzgerald (Sr., Cleveland), third basemen Mark Broome (Sr., Clinton), shortstop Eric Patten (Jr., Cedar

ONFERENCE ERA and 66 strikeouts. McAlpin also claimed seven complete game wins with three complete game shout-outs. Josh Barton Hill, Texas) and Craig Newton (Jr., Vicksburg). (Sr., Millington, Tenn.) will also return to the mound for the Statesmen this season. Barton ended the 2003 season 7-0 Thigpen was selected to the American Baseball Coaches C with a 2.73 ERA and 58 strikeouts. Brad Lightsey (Jr., Association All-America team and All-South Central Region Batesville) will also be a returning starter. Lightsey finished first team as well as first team All-GSC laurels. Thigpen hit 2003 with a 7-2 record with 4 complete games and 3.48 ERA .379 on the season with 15 homeruns, 22 doubles and 76 RBI. with 49 strikeouts. Fitzgerald returns batting .356 last year with 49 RBI and 10 homeruns. Chris Reed (Sr., Jackson) will return in the bullpen for the The infield is complete with Patten at short and Broome at OUTH Statesmen. Reed had fives saves with a 1.33 ERA along with a 3-1 record for 2003. Other pitchers that look to contribute third with the question mark being at second base. Junior this year are John Polles (Jr., Brandon) who is returning this College transfer Clay Smith (Jr., Paris CC, Mesquite, Texas) S and Norwood Taylor (Jr., Mississippi State Delta CC, Greenwood) will compete for the spot. Patten ended last season batting .300 with a fielding percentage of .950. Broome returns to the line up hitting .347 last year and was second on

ULF the team in RBI with 52.

The outfield will see two new faces. Will Waldkirch (Sr., Franklin, Tenn.) will get the nod at left field to start the season. Thigpen moved from left field to center for speed purposes and Jeff State CC transfer Brett Donahoo (Jr., West Point) will be starting in right field. Another question for the Statesmen is who is going to be the back up catcher. Two year starter Newton returns behind the 2003 G plate this season. “Craig has great hands defensively,” said Kinnison. Junior College transfer Bert Pickard (Jr., Mississippi State Delta CC) who was converted from third base to catcher and Drew Glass (Jr., Covington, Tenn.) will Mark Broome both be competing for the back up position. The keys for the Statesmen hitting is for Patten and Broome to have good years as well as finding the right person to hit in the four and five spot behind Thigpen. 16 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE 2004 Statesmen Picked Top of GSC Poll Four Years In a Row GSC Top Necomers Player Position Hometown/Last School
