22009009 iinn rrevieweview

2009 in Review The Eastern Kentucky University baseball team earned the moniker “Comeback Colonels” in 2009 because it could score runs in a hurry, and often did so late in games. The Colonels recorded seven wins when trailing after the fi fth inning, and a majority of those wins came when trailing by more than four runs. EKU picked up its fi rst big win of the season on March 3 when the Colonels upset BIG EAST powerhouse Louisville, 7-5, at . Louisville had won eight straight over the Colonels and had taken 13 of the last 14 in the series. Junior Jim Clancy pitched brilliantly in the win, striking out six of the fi rst seven Cardinals he faced, and going fi ve innings while only giving up one run on two hits. The very next day, the Colonels almost made a bid for being tabbed the top college team in the state when they scored fi ve runs in the top of the ninth to tie Kentucky only to watch as the Wildcats won it on a walk-off blast in the bott om of the inning. On their spring break trip in Winter Haven, Fla., the Colonels picked up wins over Bucknell (on a walk-off by sopho- more Jayson Langfels), Connecticut, Vermont and Toledo. Three days after returning home, EKU plated three runs in the bott om of the ninth (two on another walk-off job by Langfels ) to surge past in-state rival Western Kentucky. A week later, EKU scored four runs in the bott om of the seventh to overtake Mar- shall at home, 10-7, and on April 12 the Colonels scored another thrilling come-from-behind victory over Georgetown College, this time plating seven runs in the bott om of the eighth (the fi nal two courtesy of a pinch-hit double by hobbled senior star Matt Davis) to win it, 9-8. EKU won six of its fi rst nine OVC games, but lost seven of its next eight to put the Colonels fi rmly on the fringe of qualifying for the conference tournament. Heading into the second to last conference weekend of the season and facing must-win situations at home against the hard-hitt ing Redhawks of Southeast Missouri, the Colonels earned their nickname. Trailing 10-0 in the fourth innings of game one, EKU scored nine runs in the last three inning (the last thanks to a double to center by freshman Mike Garcia) to win the epic matchup, 14-13. After falling in game two, the Colo- nels did it again in game three, this time erasing an early six-run defi cit to come back and take the series with an 11-10 victory. The Colonels then had to travel to face the fi rst place Eastern Il- linois Panthers in their regular season fi nale. Although sophomore southpaw Paul Duncan heroically gritt ed out a victory in game two of the series, EIU took two of out three and EKU fi nished tied for sixth ... missing the postseason due to a tiebreaker. It was an unfi tt ing ending for a truly memorable season. Season Highlights - Three All-Americans: Jayson Langfels (second team/collegebasebal- linsider.com), Matt Davis (third team/Collegiate Baseball) and Richie Rodriguez (freshman/Collegiate Baseball)

- Six All-OVC honorees: Jayson Langels and Matt Davis (fi rst team), Anthony Ott rando and Richie Rodriguez (second team) and Rodriguez, Jacob Daniel and Mike Garcia (freshman)

- Jayson Langfels wins the OVC batt ing title (.441) and leads the nation in RBI/game (1.67)

- Paul Duncan pitches the sixth no-hitt er in school history on May 2

He also became only the sixth pitcher in school history to throw a no-hitt er when he did so against Chicago State on May 2. Perhaps even more encouraging was his propensity to deliver in crucial situations. The smooth left-hander from Northfi eld, Ill. gave one of the gutsiest performances of the year last season when he went the distance at Eastern Illinois in a must-win game to keep the Colonels’ postseason hopes alive. He even struck out OVC Player of the Year Jordan Kreke to end the game. Freshman right-hander Anthony Bazzani “had an outstanding fall,” according to Stein, and has earned a starting job. Bazzani, out of Heritage High School in Conyers, Ga., went 9-2 as a junior with a 0.92 ERA. The other weekend role will likely fall to either sophomore right-hander Matt Harris or junior right-hander Stephen Hefl er.

The 2009 second team All-OVC selection batt ed .340 last year and was second on the team with eight home runs and 50 RBI. Even more impressive, however, may have been his defensive play. The Ocala, Fla. native committ ed only one error at fi rst base all season and compiled an astounding fi elding percentage of .997. Ott rando will couple with Langfels to form a formidable 3-4 punch in the heart of the Colonel lineup. Sophomore shortstop Richie Rodriguez was named a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball magazine and was the only freshman in the conference to earn second team All-OVC honors in 2009. The durable Miami, Fla. native was the only Colonel to start every game last season, and he did so at one of the most important positions on the fi eld. He batt ed .302 on the year and was second on the team in runs scored (52) and doubles (15). He also stole 14 bases. Due to his speed and deft ability to handle a bat, Rodriguez will most likely bat leadoff in 2010. The only infi eld position uninhabited by an All-OVC returner is Junior lefty Paul Duncan led EKU with four complete games in 2009 and is expected to be the Colonels’ ace in 2010. second base, the former home of the departed (and vastly under- rated) Rehmel.

The junior slugger was one of only two sophomores to be named fi rst team All-OVC in 2009 after leading the Colonels in batt ing average (.441), home runs (12), RBI (72), total bases (136) and slugging percentage (.800). He also possesses great speed as evidenced by his six triples and 15 stolen bases.

Despite not being a primary starter last season, junior Ryan Faidley brings a wealth of Division I outfi eld experience to the table and should be the Colonels’ starter in left fi eld this season. The Crystal Lake, Ill. native has started 73 games in his career (including 48 as a freshman) and was named to the OVC All-Freshman team in 2008. He batt ed .295 with 23 runs, nine doubles, two triples and eight stolen bases last year. A rangy fi elder with above average speed, Faidley is also the team’s most reliable bunter as evidenced by his team-best three sacrifi ce bunts in 2009. Junior Bryce Labhart is slated to platoon with Faidley in left fi eld this season.

Buschman, Grisham and several other freshmen will also com- pete for at-bats at designated hitt er throughout the year.

Schedule The Colonels will face a new-look schedule in 2010 that does not feature an early season tournament at Turkey Hughes Field or a spring break tournament in Florida. The schedule is highlighted by a series with Purdue at Turkey Hughes Field, a spring break trip through the state of North Carolina, a neutral-site showdown with West Virginia and trips to Tennessee and Louisville. “It is certainly a demanding schedule,” Stein said. “And I think our fall practices have been bett er as a result of this upcoming schedule. The non-conference portion of the schedule should pre- pare us well for a tough OVC slate this year.” EKU begins its OVC schedule against the team it ended with in 2009: Eastern Illinois on March 27. The Colonels will host three more conference series in 2010 against Austin Peay (April 10-11), Tennessee Tech (May 1-2) and Jacksonville State (May 15-16). Joey Stevens Jacob Daniel

X 340 ft. and features a bullpen area, hitt ing cages, ample bleacher space and a press box. In 2009, EKU invested over half a million dollars on Turkey Hughes Field, adding a state-of-the-art synthetic turf infi eld, a hitt er’s eye in center fi eld, nett ing and a brick wall backstop. The hitt er’s eye covers the right fi eld line all the way to the Work on Turkey Hughes Field’s new synthetic turf infi eld began in early August scoreboard to give Turkey Hughes Field a new backdrop. The and ended in late September. synthetic turf covers the entire infi eld, including the base paths and home plate. The only part that remains clay is the pitcher’s mound. The renovations will revolutionize the way the EKU baseball program is able to develop its players. The synthetic turf infi eld will allow the players to practice in spite of bad weather, and far fewer games will be cancelled due to the improvement. “We are very excited about the renovations at Turkey Hughes Field,” head coach Jason Stein said. “The improvements will not only enhance the experience of our players but also the experi- ence of our great fanbase.” The fanbase Stein to which Stein alluded plays an integral part in the team’s success as the Colonels went 19-7 at home in 2009. Additional renovations to Turkey Hughes Field are expected to occur in the future. The new turf features EKU logos along the fi rst and third baselines and a Colonel head logo behind home plate.
