Bream drove in three runs with the trio of hits, including his third home run of the season and his fi rst of the year. Center fi elder Curran Redal also had three hits in the contest. He also walked and scored a run for the Flames. Giannini, making his second career start, recorded his fi rst win in a Liberty uniform. The freshman right-hander al- lowed four runs on four hits over seven innings. He struck out four batters and walked three. Josh Richardson fi nished up for the Flames, pitching two scoreless frames.

Double Delight First baseman Trey Wimmer drove in fi ve runs with three doubles, propelling the Flames past the George Mason Patriots, 9-7, March 30 at Worthington Stadium. Wimmer went 3-for-3 with a walk in the contest, scoring two runs. He got things started in the fi rst inning with a two-run double, and later scored in a three-run inning. His second two-base hit in the fi fth inning scored a run, giving the Flames the lead for good. In the seventh, he chased home his fi nal two runs of the contest with his third double of the game. Wimmer’s three doubles tie 13 other Liberty players for most doubles in a game in program history. The last time a Flame had three two-base hits in a contest was on May 21, 2009, when catcher Errol Hollinger had three in a 20-10 win over High Point at the Big South Conference Baseball Championship at McCormick Field in Asheville, N.C. Dane Beakler, the second Liberty pitcher of the contest, evened his record at 1-1 on the year. The reliever yielded one run, while scattering seven hits over 4 1/3 innings. He struck out two and did not walk a batter. J.J. McLeod entered the contest with two outs and retired the one batter he faced with the bases full for his third save of the season.

Teufel’s Scoreless Streak Ends Senior left-hander Shawn Teufel gave up only his second run of the season March 19. A Manhattan home run in the fourth halted the left-hander’s scoreless innings streak at 24, which spanned over fi ve starts for the senior. Teufel had al- lowed only one prior run, in the fi rst inning of his season-opening start at Kennesaw State on Feb. 19, and has not allow one since. The streak tops a previous career-high of 10 scoreless innings by the pitcher last season, from April 4-18. The score- less span left the left-hander fi ve innings shy of the school record of 29, set by Tim Harrell in 2000. Best Start Since 1995 Liberty started its 2010 season with a 9-0 record. The mark tied the 1995 Flames for the best start to a year in the 36- year history of the program. Liberty tied the mark with a 10-1 win over Delaware State at Worthington Stadium on March 7. The Flames’ start was the best during the three-year tenure of Liberty Head Coach Jim Toman. During Toman’s fi rst season in 2008, the Flames opened the year, 5-1. Liberty also tied the programs’ record for consecutive wins at the NCAA Division I level with the streak. Five other Flames squads have won nine consecutive games (2009, 2008, 2006, 1995, 1985). The 1976 Liberty team holds the school record for consecutive victories with 15.

Bream Named Conference Player of the Week Liberty sophomore third baseman Tyler Bream was named as the Big South Conference Choice Hotels Baseball Player of the Week for Feb. 23. Bream hit .700 (7-for-10) in the Flames’ three-game, season-opening sweep of Kennesaw State. The third baseman scored six runs and drove in fi ve RBIs during the three-game series, reaching base three times in each contest to record a .688 on-base percentage. The sophomore had two doubles and a towering two-run home run during the weekend to post a 1.200 slugging percentage. Bream opened the season on Feb. 19 by going 3-for-3, including an RBI-double and a two-run homer, while driving in four runs. The following afternoon, the third baseman walked twice, drove in a run with a sacrifi ce fl y and scored twice. In the fi nal game of the series on Feb. 21, Bream fi nished the series by going 4-for-5 with a double and three runs scored to lead the Flames to the sweep. The Last Time
