The Liberty Baseball program completed its fall season with an alumni game over the University’s Homecoming Weekend, Oct. 23-24. The two-day weekend included a golf outing, a dinner and a game underneath the lights at Worthington Stadium.

On the 23rd, 46 alumni took part in the golf outing at London Downs Golf Course in nearby Forest, Va. In the evening, 130 alumni and family members attended a dinner celebrating Liberty baseball, past and present. The program’s founder and first coach, Al Worthington, and Coach Jim Toman meets with alumni former coach Johnny Hunton, along with Liberty Director of Athletics Jeff Barber and Flames Club Director Bob Good spoke after the dinner to the group.

Former Liberty major leaguers Sid Bream (1979-81), Lee Guetterman (1978-81) and Randy Tomlin (1986-88) were among the former players who attended the dinner.

On the evening of the 24th, Bream, Guetterman and Tomlin were among 54 former Liberty players who participated in the alumni game under the lights at Worthington Stadium. Coach Hunton and Coach Worthington led the two squads, with Hunton’s team winning.

After a strong finish in Head Coach Jim Toman’s first season at Liberty, the Flames enter 2009 looking to win a Big South Championship and advance to a NCAA Regional. Last season, Liberty went 13-3-1 during the month of May to finish the year with a 36-25-1 mark, the best record under a first-year coach in program history. For the third straight year, the Flames finished as the Big South Conference’s runner-up. Liberty won four consecutive games by double digits, including beating Coastal Car- olina, 13-2, to force a second championship game. “Last year, we were only five innings from an NCAA Regional,” stated Toman. “This year, we hope to take the next step and put ourselves in a position to earn an at-large berth or to win the Big South Conference tournament.

Last year, the senior finished among the Big South leaders in runs scored (sixth – 60), hits (seventh – 82), RBIs (tied eighth – 47), doubles (tied fifth – 19) and total bases (tied seventh – 127). On the defensive side, he led the conference in runners caught stealing with 26 and fewest passed balls with four. In 62 games, Hollinger hit .319 with eight home runs and a .494 slugging percentage and led the Flames by hitting in 21-straight games. He earned his first selection to the Big South all-conference team at the end of the season.

n centuries gone by, "liberty" was just a concept - I an idea feared by tyrants and dreamed of by the opposed. In more recent history, "liberty" became a cause and a deeply held belief worth fighting and dying for. Today, Liberty University has become a place where students call home … where people dare to dream big dreams and then work to see those dreams come to pass … where old-fashioned values and morality still survive and thrive in a world which appears to have forgotten the meaning of the word … where the undeniable Truth of the Ages still reigns supreme … where the whole person is educated - body, mind and soul … a place where you can learn, grow and achieve wholeness as you become all God created you to be.

The Mission To produce Christ-centered men and women with the values, knowledge and skills required to impact tomorrow's world … the mission is carried out for resident students, through both undergraduate and graduate programs, through a rigorous academic program and structured social environment … also, it is carried out externally for students who can't make the trek to the campus in a comparable academic program but without the structure of the resident community, through a distance learning program.

A Brief History For more than 36 years, Liberty University has produced graduates with the values, knowledge and skills required to impact the world. Founded by Dr. Jerry Falwell and Dr. Elmer Towns in 1971, Liberty University is a private, coeducational, undergraduate and graduate institution. The University offers over 60 programs of study that contribute to the University’s standing as the world’s largest distinctively Christian, academically excellent and spiritually vibrant institution. The 5,000- acre campus serves over 25,000 resident and external students with a diverse student body made up of individuals from all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and 81 nations. Liberty is truly a representation of what God can do with a dream and a heart that desires to honor Him.

Location Situated in Lynchburg, Va., Liberty University is nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and located on the south bank of the historic James River, in a region rich in history, culture and outdoor recreational opportunities.

Faculty Liberty University’s over 350 full-time and more than 300 part-time faculty are committed to engaging with students in the challenge of exploring vital links between faith and learning. There are over 450 institutions of higher learning represented among this impressive group. Liberty’s commitment to personalized education also ensures that the student-to- professor ratio is nicely balanced at 25:1.

Degree Programs In higher education, the principal means of ensuring quality is accreditation by a recognized accrediting body or agency. Liberty University is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and nationally accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS). Additionally, a number of specific programs are approved by accrediting and licensing bodies for specific disciplines (i.e. our nursing, sport management and education programs). SACS and TRACS, in turn, are both recognized accrediting bodies by the United States Department of Education.

Spiritual Life The Spiritual Life Department prepares students to make a global impact for the glory of God - wherever He leads them. Life-changing campus church and convocation services connect students with their Creator through passionate worship and powerful Biblical messages custom designed for this collegiate generation. These services give Liberty students first-hand encounters with the most influential Christians on the planet. Each semester the Campus Pastor’s Office personally trains over 1,000 student leaders who are the catalysts for the positive peer pressure and Biblical community which is the glue of Liberty University. Each year, these student leaders minister personally to their peers and commit to love, pray for, pray with and personally disciple every student on campus. Every student’s relationship with Christ is a priority. Light Ministries facilitates Liberty’s global vision by providing dozens of opportunities each year for the Liberty community to participate in cross-cultural missions experiences. Already over 7,000 students have boarded planes to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to over three million people. The Spiritual Life Department is radically committed to aligning the Liberty community with the Great Commandment and Great Commission of Jesus Christ. As the spiritual fires are sparked in hearts - Spiritual Life fans the flame.

Men’s Basketball Liberty had its second former student-athlete inducted in the Big South Hall of Fame. Men’s basketball standout Peter Aluma was enshrined along side the league’s best student-athletes in 2008.

Women’s Basketball The women’s basketball team captured its 11th Big South title in 12 years on a last-second, game-winning shot by Megan Frazee, helping the Lady Flames match a school record with 28 victories during the 2007-08 season.
