2010 Memphis Baseball to Usher in New Era
The 2010 baseball season will mark the beginning of a new era for the Tigers. After playing the 2009 season without a true place to call home, head coach Daron Schoenrock and his club return to the University’s Park Avenue Campus to play in its new home—the newly redesigned FedExPark. “We can’t express how thankful we are to the FedEx Corporation for what they have done to upgrade our baseball facilities,” said Schoenrock. The outlook is a bright one for the 2010 club that returns nine position players that have seen significant time in the Memphis lineup over the past two seasons. In addition, for the first time since Schoenrock’s
arrival at Memphis, the Tigers return its entire starting pitching rotation. A more experienced club, combined with a new home that will provide a more settled and stable environment have the Tigers primed for a run at post season play. “The expectations from within will be a bit stronger than the expectations from without,” Schoenrock stated.
Pitchers
Memphis’ success will start on the mound, where it is as deep and healthy as it has been in Schoenrock’s tenure. The staff that showcases four senior arms in Brennon Martin, Brach Davis, Ryan Fraser and Marc Ash-
ley, will be under new instruction as Schoenrock hired former Oklahoma and Tennessee pitching coach Fred Corral in the offseason. Corral has made his presence felt early. “Our staff has gained physically and mentally this fall under Coach Corral,” said Schoenrock. “I expect them to continue to progress as they learn his system throughout the course of the spring. It’s still going to be a learning situation.” All four senior hurlers have seen time as a starter in their careers. Martin and Davis will anchor the Tiger’s staff. Martin won six games in 2009 and fanned a career-high 59 batters. Davis struck out 53 and finished strong, winning two of his last three starts. Sophomore Heith Hatfield or Fraser will

“He (Martinez) didn’t finish up as strong as we would have liked him to down the stretch and understands the need to become more physical to play through the 56-game grind that Conference USA gives,” Schoenrock said. Senior Tyler Huelsing will take over in one of the corner outfield positions. Huelsing, who hit .300 in 2009, finished the season with a seven-game hit streak. Junior Robby Graham had a productive fall season and projects to see time opposite Huelsing. The Memphis coaching staff is pleased with the emergence of true freshman Derrick Thomas. A draft pick of the Boston Red Sox in the 2009 MLB First-Year Player Draft, Thomas has shown signs of becoming a significant contributor to the Tiger offense.
Memphis is once again faced with a challenging schedule, both in C-USA play and out. The slate showcases 29 home games, including 13 contests versus NCAA Regional participants. “To get to postseason play, to Regionals and to get to Omaha, you have to put together a schedule that matches your roster,” Schoenrock stated. “As this younger bunch is getting a little older, I have stepped up what we do schedule-wise. We are putting our guys in competitive environments every time we can.” That is evident, with a more experienced club; Schoenrock has ramped up the competition for the upcoming season. In its 56-game schedule, Memphis will play 20 games against 2009 NCAA Regional participants, 14 contests versus five clubs that won either their respective regular season or conference tournament titles, 11 games against NCAA Regional champs and three against one College World Series qualifier. With FedExPark set to open in February, Memphis will get the 2010 season underway, at home, with a three-game set against in-state rival and Sun Belt Tournament champs Middle Tennessee—one of the Tigers’ seven opponents that advanced to NCAA postseason play in 2009. The MTSU series is one of two nonconference weekends in which Memphis will host an NCAA Regional foe. The Tigers will also host 2009 Ohio Valley Tournament champ Tennessee Tech on Mar., 19-21. The Tigers’ non-conference slate is highlighted by a pair of tilts versus NCAA Regional champions Ole Miss. Memphis will travel to Oxford, Miss. for a March 2 meeting, before hosting the Rebels in the annual clash at AutoZone Park on April 13. In efforts to boost its RPI late in the year, Memphis will travel to Big 12 member, Oklahoma for a three-game weekend, May 1416. The U of M will make home-andhome trips with Louisiana-Monroe

The 2010 Conference USA Championship is scheduled for May 26-30 at the University of Houston’s Cougar Field. For the first time in C-USA history, the top six teams from the regular season will advance to the conference tournament. “There are no weekends in the league where you can forecast or predict what will happen,” Schoenrock stated. “None of our road weekends are at places that are easy places to play. It will be a battle every weekend, but the neat thing is that we will have a number of guys in our lineup who have been in this league for a year now. We are not quite as experienced as we were in 2006 or 2007, but we are getting closer.”

The 16th baseball coach in school history, Daron Schoenrock enters his sixth season at the controls of Memphis baseball. After a rocky inaugural season, Schoenrock confirmed what many in the coaching world believed to be true when he was hired—that he was one of the top new head coaches in the business and that he woudl revive a once successful Memphis baseball program. With Schoenrock at the helm of the Memphis program that is noted as one on the rise, it was no surprise that the Tigers were able to end the 13-year postseason hiatus and earn a berth to the NCAA Tournament in 2007. With Schoenrock on the Tiger bench, the 2007 team went 36-27, marking the most wins since 1994 and, combined with the 2006 campaign represented the first back-toback winning seasons since the 1994 and 1995
slates. Schoenrock inherited a program that had lost its top three pitchers and 10 seniors from 2004, and struggled through a 13-42 campaign in 2005. With a well-planned goal, he wasted little time working to get the Tiger baseball program back on track, signing 25 newcomers for the 2006 season, including four four-year transfers, a National Junior College Player of the Year honoree and five major league draftees. Schoenrock brought those additions together and led the Tigers to a 32-win season in just his second campaign. The 32 wins were the most wins for Schoenrock in his three years as a head coach and the most by a Memphis baseball club since 2001. The 19-game turnaround tied for the second-best winning turnaround in the country in 2006 and also tied for the

A native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Schoenrock has been involved in numerous community outreach efforts, sharing his knowledge at coaching clinics and banquets nationwide and making several appearances for speaking engagements across the country, as well as in the Memphis area since taking the head coaching post at the U of M. Schoenrock also serves as a clinician for www.mycoachonline.com, a baseball instruction website, and is also active in Fellowship of Christian Athletes program. In 1995 Schoenrock authored a comprehensive textbook on pitching titled “The Total Pitching Program.” He is currently serving a second three-year term on the selection committee for the ABCA’s prestigious Lefty Gomez Award, an annual award given for lifetime meritorious service to baseball. This past fall, Schoenrock was selected as the chairman for CUSA baseball coaches. Schoenrock, 48, is married to the former Carol Cawood of Harlan, Ky.

Prior to joining Polk at MSU, he served as the pitching coach in 2000 and 2001 on the University of Georgia staff. In Athens, he developed a Bulldog pitching staff that, in 2001, helped boost Georgia to its first SEC championship in 47 years and its first appearance in the NCAA College World Series since 1990. He launched his affiliation with Southeastern Conference baseball in 1998 at the University of Kentucky. He served two seasons on the coaching staff of former MSU baseball staffer Keith Madison, coaching the UK pitchers and catchers and heading up the Wildcats’ recruiting program in 1998 and 1999. His coaching expertise gained national acclaim during a highly-successful eight-year coaching stint at Birmingham Southern. His Panther pitchers improved their staff earned run averages each season and helped lead Birmingham Southern to the 1995 NAIA World Series. In the summer that followed, Schoenrock earned a position as the short-season pitching coach for the Chicago White Sox’s affiliate in the Appalachian League. Schoenrock was a four-year starting pitcher under Coach David Mays at Tennessee Tech University. He earned his bachelor’s degree in secondary education with a certification in biology before launching his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach there in 1985. He continued his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach under ABCA Hall of Famer Johnny Reagan at Murray State University, where he earned a master’s degree in education in 1987. Schoenrock took on his first head coaching job in 1988 at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn. He was 25-52 in his two years as coach of the Railsplitters. Schoenrock guided LMU to its first postseason appearance in five years and was named the Tennessee Valley Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1989.

best turnaround in Tiger baseball seball history—tying history tying that of the 2001 team. Along with that 32-28 mark came Memphis’ first appearance in the Conference USA semifinals since the 2001 season. Hired on June 29, 2004, Schoenrock immediately launched his plan to elevate Tiger Baseball by intensifying recruiting efforts, marketing season ticket campaigns, increasing revenue generated by the Bullpen Club and yearly banquets, and putting a plan in motion to upgrade the Tiger baseball facility. The Tiger skipper has overseen the the facelift recently given to FedExPark. Through 17 years as an assistant (the last seven in the SEC), Schoenrock learned the importance an entire coaching staff has in carrying out the daily process of a program. In the summer of 2009, Schoenrock elevated five-year Tiger staffer Jerry Zulli to recruiting coordinator and brought in nationally renouned pitching coach Fred Corral to Memphis as the Associate Head Coach. Both of these moves, along with the retention of assistant coach and camps coordinator Derrick Dunbar and Director of Operations Al Woods have Schoenrock thrilled with the staff he has in place. The difference he has made has been evident off the field as well. In just his first semester a more disciplined baseball team recorded the program’s highest GPA ever. They once again recorded a program-high GPA with a 3.2 mark in the fall 2009 semester. A mirror of its coach, his squad also has been involved in community service efforts, such as visiting children at the Ronald McDonald House, Target House and St. Jude every year since his hiring. The Tigers added Streets Ministries to its goodwill efforts, preparing a meal and interacting with the inner city youth in a visit to the community outreach organization in the fall of 2006. In the spring of 2008, Memphis visited Southaven’s Field of Dreams where they held a special Meet-and-Greet session and donated gifts to support the league that serves special-needs children in the Mid-South. Schoenrock came to Memphis after several successful years as an assistant coach. Before taking the post as the Tigers’ skipper, he spent three seasons as an assistant coach on the Mississippi State staff—his fifth year in association with former State coaching legend Ron Polk. His primary responsibilities included coaching Bulldog pitchers, and overseeing MSU’s recruiting efforts. Schoenrock also coordinated the activities of the Bulldogs’ foster-parent program. Regarded as one of college baseball’s premier pitching coaches, Schoenrock has coached 77 players that have signed professional baseball contracts. He has sent 46 pitchers under his tutelage to the professional level, including Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon, and Paul Maholm, who was a first-round pick (the No. 7 overall) of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Three Bulldog pitchers were taken in the 2004 First-Year Player Draft. Since coming to Memphis, five Tigers have been drafted and six have signed pro deals. Under Schoenrock’s leadership a program record four U of M pitchers were drafted in the 2008 Major League Draft. The 2006 Major League Baseball season was special to Schoenrock as two of his former pitchers achieved national recognition. Former Kentucky Wildcat Brandon Webb won the 2006 National League Cy Young Award, while former Mississippi State Bulldog Papelbon was the runner-up for the 2006 American League Rookie of the Year honor.

On August 17, 2009, former University of Tennessee pitching coach Fred Corral was hired as the associate head coach and pitching coach for the University of Memphis baseball team, replacing former Tiger pitching coach Michael Federico. As one the most respected college pitching coaches in the country, Corral brings a wealth of collegiate experience and knowledge to the Memphis staff. He has served as an assistant coach at Tennessee (two stints), Oklahoma, Sacramento City College and San Joaquin Delta College. Corral will inherit a senior-laden pitching staff that posted a 6.30 ERA with 377 strikeouts in 2009. Memphis' pitching staff has posted a 5.73 ERA or higher in each of the last five seasons. Corral's last stop at Tennessee (2007-09) saw him instruct UT freshman Bryan Morgado to Freshman All-American honors and a spot on the Roger Clemens Award watch list in 2008. Under Corral's guidance, Morgado fanned 104 batters, marking just the second time in Volunteer baseball history that a freshman eclipsed the 100-strikeout plateau. Corral also helped several UT hurlers post dramatic improvements over his second two-year stint in Knoxville. Corral made the move to head the pitching staff at Oklahoma following the 2004 season. During his three years with the Sooners, he helped OU to two consecutive NCAA Regional appearances, including the program's first Super Regional showing in 2006. During Corral's tenure at Oklahoma, nine pitchers were taken in the MLB Draft (including 13th-rounder Daniel McCutchen) and six Sooner hurlers earned All-Big 12 honors. During Corral's first stint at Tennessee, he led the Volunteers pitching staff to the top of the pitching-rich SEC as well as the nation. His staffs posted consecutive sub-3.90 ERA's, and UT's 3.51 ERA in 2004 ranked 13th in the country. The 2004 Volunteer staff recorded the fifth-most strikeouts in school history and held opponents to a .243 batting average, which was UT's lowest mark in nine seasons. Tennessee also had three pitchers in 2004 who's ERAs ranked among the top 12 in the SEC. Four of Corral's pitchers at Tennessee have gone on to be selected in the MLB draft. He signed James Adkins and coached Luke Hochevar, hurlers who now rank first and third on UT's all-time strikeouts list, respectively. Hochevar now starts for the Kansas City Royals, and Adkins is in the process of ascending toward the major leagues. Corral began his collegiate coaching career in 1993 as a pitching coach at his alma mater San Joaquin Delta Junior College in Stockton, Calif. He spent two seasons there (1993-95), before being hired to take the reins of the Sacramento City College pitching staff. From 1996-2002, Corral served as the pitching coach at SCC, where he was a vital part of the program's success. Under one of the most highly respected and successful junior college coaches in the nation in Jerry Weinstein, Corral served on a coaching staff that produced one national championship, five Bay Valley East Conference championships and a pair of state runner-up titles. His staffs compiled an overall record of 28156-1 for an .833 winning percentage during his tenure.

Associate Head Coach Fred Corral
Of the 36 drafted pitchers under his tutelage at SCC, 13 signed professional contracts. Every pitcher Corral coached at SCC was either drafted or transferred to a four-year institution. Corral's credentials of developing pitching talent speak for themselves. In 16 years as a collegiate pitching coach, 59 of his pitchers have been drafted, nine of which were selected in the top-10 rounds of the MLB Draft and six (Matt Riley, Adam Bernero, Mike Neu, Joe Horgan, Luke Hochevar and Charlie Zink) have advanced to baseball's top level. In all, Corral's instruction has helped 65 pitchers reach the professional level. Much like Schoenrock, Corral has also had extensive experience in the professional ranks. He has worked as a pitching instructor in the Los Angeles Dodgers (2000-01) and Montreal Expos (1999) organizations, and also served a coach for Major League Baseball International (1994). As a player, Corral was a first-team All-Pac-10 selection as a relief pitcher at the University of California in 1987. The Golden Bears eighth 10-game winner, Corral set a school record for single-season win-loss percentage with a perfect 10-0 record in 1987. The southpaw added five saves and a 3.75 ERA in his sophomore season (1987) en route to earning the team's Most Valuable Pitcher honor. Corral helped lead the Golden Bears to their fourth College World Series appearance in 1988. He finished his career with a 13-5 mark, a 4.50 ERA and six saves. Prior to his Division I career at Cal, Corral starred at San Joaquin Delta Junior College where he garnered All-Camino Notre Conference honors in 1985 and 1986. Corral is married to the former Cynthia Drost, of Ripon, Calif., and the couple has two children, Kaitlyn Joy and Justin Jerome. The couple's nieces, Marisa and Chelsea, and nephews, Michael and Robert, also live with them. Fred’s passion for teaching pitching and building a pitching staff is expressed in a first meeting with him. The bond he builds with his pitchers is special and his impact on this program goes far beyond just the pitching staff. We are fortunate he is a Tiger! –Head Coach Daron Schoenrock

While at Middle Georgia, he was the team’s hitting instructor and outfield coach. He was also responsible for coordinating the Warriors recruiting efforts. In his final two years at MGC, 12 Warriors were drafted by Major League teams. Under Zulli’s assistantship, the Warriors went 130-51—a 72 percent winning percentage. In 2004, the Warriors placed sixth in the JUCO World Series, and ended the year with a 45-17 record. The 2002 Warriors also advanced to the JUCO World Series and ranked sixth in the final National JUCO Poll. He also spent the summer of 2004 as an assistant coach of the Hyannis Mets of the Cape Cod Summer League. Under his assistance, the Mets advanced to the semifinals of the Cape playoffs. Zulli spent the 2003 summer as the assistant for the U-17 East Cobb Braves. Under his instruction, the Braves sent eight players to NCAA Division I baseball programs and captured the 2003 Perfect Game National Championship. Zulli first arrived at MGC in 1997 as a player. In 1999 Zulli helped lead the Warriors to the Region XVII Championship and finish a game away from an East-Central District Championship. During that year, he was a recipient of the Terry Daniels Award. He earned his associate degree in business management from Middle Georgia in 1999. He then transferred to the University of New Orleans where he played under the direction of Coach Randy Bush. Zulli received his bachelor’s degree, from New Orleans, in sports management in 2002. He is married to the former Kristen Bell of Lawrenceville, Ga.

Under Zulli, numerous Tiger hitters have etched their names in the Memphis baseball record books. In 2007, Michael Murray and Adam Amar became just the second Tiger duo to collect over 85 hits in a single season. Meanwhile, Bill Moss and Joey Lieberman each homered 14 times, representing the first time in Tiger baseball history two players have hit as many home runs in the same season. With Zulli’s guidance, K.K. Chalmers took hold of several of the program’s offensive records, including the triples, runs scored and walks marks. Both Chalmers and former Tiger Amar placed their names in the Tigers’ career top-10 hits list under Zulli’s instruction. Zulli has also made his mark on the program off the field as the team’s academic supervisor. As a team, Memphis put together its best academic semester ever by posting a 3.12 GPA in the fall of 2007. On the field, Coach “Z” also serves as the third base coach during the season. While “Z” coaches third base, his product on the field constantly attests his coaching ability. Not known as an offensive power when he took over as hitting coach, Zulli quickly transformed the Memphis lineup into one of the top hitting teams in C-USA. A year after hitting just .262 as a team, Memphis had a breakout season at the plate, tying Rice for the league lead and ranking 30th nationally with a .315 batting average in 2006. The Tigers’ high-octane offense wrapped up the season ranked in the country’s top-30 (28th at 7.6 runs per game) in scoring after putting up 10 or more runs 17 times. The 2007 crew crossed 10 or more runs 15 times and ranked among the nation’s best in scoring at seven runs per game. Zulli’s philosophy has resulted in a 2007 Nashville Regional All-Tournament selection for Amar and six All C-USA selections over the past three seasons. In 2007, Lieberman garnered FirstTeam DH honors, while Amar, Moss and Murray hauled in Second-Team recognition. Amar and K.K Chalmers were All -C-USA picks in 2006. Zulli has also produced back-to-back hitting titles for Memphis players. Murray led the league with a .375 average in 2007, while Amar, a 2007 preseason All-American, led C-USA in hitting with a .395 average to earn first team All-C-USA honors

He has also taken on a significant role in the recruiting process, as well as placing Tiger players on teams in collegiate-level wooden bat leagues to hone and improve their skills in the summer. Zulli, brings a dimension of energy and enthusiasm in his philosophy of teaching the offensive game, and has an excellent ability to evaluate talent. Zulli’s offenses have posted some of the best numbers in Memphis baseball history over the past two seasons, including banging out a record 137 doubles in 2007. In 2006, the Tiger offense posted top-five totals in games played, hits, RBI, runs, doubles and total bases. As one of the most feared offenses in Conference USA, 2007 was more of the same as Zulli’s bunch hit .302 and racked up 665 hits in just over 2200 at-bats.

Houston Hosts 2010 C-USA Baseball Championships The 2010 C-USA Baseball Championships is scheduled for May 26-30 in Houston, Texas. The six-team event will be hosted by Houston at Cougar Field. Cougar Field Home of the Houston Cougars baseball program, Cougar Field is a scaled down version of a major league park. The seating capacity of the park, containing a fully lighted, grass playing surface, is 3,500. However the stadium can accommodate up to 5,000 fans with a pair of grass berm areas located along the outfield lines. A canopy roof covers most of the stadium seats and there are 35 spaces for wheelchairs. The stadium houses the Cougars’ clubhouse, locker rooms and offices for coaches. There is also an on-site sports therapy training area as well as equipment rooms, storage and laundry facilities. New C-USA Championship Format The 2010 Conference USA Championship will feature the top six teams in regular-season league play. Those six will be split into two three-team pools (or pods), with the winner of each pod playing in a single championship game. Teams would be assigned pods based on seed, which would be determined by the order of finish in regular-season conference play. Each team will be guaranteed to play three games. Teams in each pod would play two teams in its pod and one team outside its pod. The team with the best composite record in each pod would advance to the championship game. Two-way ties in a pod would be broken by head-to-head play. In case of a three-way tie, the highest seed would advance. The higher seed would be the home team in games on Days 1 and 3 and in the Championship Game; teams that were the visitors on Day 1 would be the home team on Day 2.

Inexperience and the lack of a true home resulted in an up and down season for the Tigers. Despite making Millington’s USA Stadium its home for the 2009 season, Memphis played home games at three different ballparks in the Memphis area. As can be expected from a young club, the 2009 season was a roller coaster ride for the Memphis Tigers. Despite the highs of a come-from-behind win over Kansas in the season-opener, the program’s first win at second-ranked Rice and a series win over eventual College World Series participant Southern Miss, the Tigers’ youth was unable to find consistency. Despite its ups and downs, Memphis made a four-game improvement in the win column to finish 21-32. At the outset of the season, head coach Daron Schoenrock made the goal for the 2009 season clear. “The main point that we talked about (as a staff) is to keep this team focused and upbeat with two major hurdles to overcome,” he said. “One of them is to overcome the demons of last year and what we went through as a young team in 2008. Second is to change the outcome of those 12 one-run loss games.” The Tigers made a sizeable stride in doing just that in the first contest of the year. Trailing 4-2 in the bottom of the ninth in the season-opener versus Kansas, freshman Drew Martinez capped a three-hit night and a three-run rally with a gamewinning single to clinch a 5-4 win in the Service Academies Spring Classic. Just two nights later, Memphis claimed its second one-run victory behind junior southpaw Brach Davis six inning, six strikeout effort. Freshman reliever Heith Hatfield followed with eight strikeouts, including a U of M record four K’s in the eighth inning, in three innings as Memphis closed out action in the Service Academies Spring Classic with a 2-1 win over the Jayhawks. The win was Schoenrock's 100th victory as head coach at Memphis. The Tigers took a 2-2 mark into the first road weekend of the season—a three-game set at Troy University. Memphis starter junior lefty Brennon Martin matched a then-career-high with seven strikeouts and held Troy scoreless in 8.2 innings of action. However, the Tigers had to hold off a furious ninth-inning rally by the Trojans to claim a 7-5 win in the series opener. Troy won game two of the series, setting up Sunday’s rubber match. But, after an

inning of action in light snow, heavy snowfall forced the cancellation of the series finale. “The Troy series showed the typical weather pattern changes you experience during a college baseball season,” Schoenrock said. “Had a great game on Friday and Saturday and there were very few guys wearing jackets in the dugouts. We wake up Sunday with a bad forecast and by gametime the snow was so hard you couldn’t even see the outfielders by the end of the first inning.” After giving up 36 runs in a midweek series at Middle Tennessee, Memphis bounced back with a dominant sweep of Valparaiso. Another solid outing by Martin, combined with Hatfield’s third save in as many appearances gave the Tigers a 9-5 win and helped the club improve to 3-0 in Friday night series openers. The duo of Ryan Fraser and Marcus Barnes clinched the Tigers’ first series since sweeping in late March 2008. Fraser fanned seven in seven innings and Barnes struck out a pair to guide Memphis to a 6-0 shutout of the Crusaders. Senior reliever Duke Williams completed the sweep by striking out five in 2.2 innings en route to his first win in a Memphis uniform, and senior closer Matt Yokley worked a scoreless ninth to pick up his 15th career save as the Tigers picked up their third-straight one-run triumph via a 3-2 decision versus Valparaiso in the series finale. Memphis hit the road to Mobile for a midweek series at South Alabama and midweek success eluded the Tigers for the third-straight week as they suffered a heart-breaking 6-5, 10-inning loss, before giving up a season-high 20 runs in the finale. Once again, the club would rebound with a series win over Indiana State. A 10th inning game-winning two-run double by freshman Jacob Wilson sealed the squad’s fourth one-run win of the season—a 6-5 victory in the series opener. Memphis scored a season-high 20 runs on 19 hits to clinch its second consecutive weekend series victory and improve to 8-7 the following day. Junior Zach Clark highlighted the 20-1 win with his first career hit and RBI. That would be the final time Memphis played above .500. Schoenrock’s bunch dropped eight of
the next 10 contests, including a pair of series-deciding games versus Marshall and at No. 2 Rice. The Tigers also were outlasted 7-6 in 10 innings against 15th-ranked Ole Miss. The two wins in that 10-game stretch were both league tilts. One was a 10-7 win at No. 2 Rice that was powered by catcher Shawn Ablett. Ablett went 3-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored and he reached base five times to power the Tigers to their second win over Rice when the Owls were ranked second in the nation and the first time it had won at Reckling Park. Riding a three-game losing streak, Memphis opened a weekend set with UCF. Jacob Wilson went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run and four RBI and Martin scattered nine hits and fanned six in eight innings to snap the skid with a 10-5 win as the Tigers move to 6-1 on Friday night. Memphis pitching walked in four runs in the fourth inning, and the U of M defense committed five errors in a 12-7 loss in game two to set up the third-straight Sunday series-clinching contest. With a 3-0 lead in the top of the ninth, Memphis looked poised to cut its nine-series C-USA losing streak. However, UCF had other ideas. With two outs Kiko Vazquez blasted a solo home run to make it 3-1. Chris Duffy then tied the ballgame with a two-run blast to right. Pinch hitter Chadd Hartman kept the game alive with a single and Colin Arnold provided the game-winning hit--a two run shot into the rightfield seats to cap a fiverun inning and down the Tigers 5-3. On the heels of that last inning loss, Memphis proceeded to win six of its next nine games, beginning with a home-and-home midweek set with Arkansas State. Senior DH Cole Shelton and freshman third baseman Jacob Wilson combined to go 7-for-8 with seven RBI and six runs scored to lead the Tigers to a 16-8 win over the RedWolves and stop a nine-game midweek losing string. Memphis and A-State split the series when the RedWolves rallied late to win 8-7 in 10 innings in the series finale. A career night by Martin got Memphis back on the winning track in the series opener against SIU-Edwardsville. The southpaw struck out a career-best nine batters and scattered seven hits

The Tiger bullpen played a major role in the win over the Bears. Garrett Hachtel, Williams and Barnes combined to hold the Bears scoreless over the final seven innings of play.

Retired Jerseys D Dave Anderson
Mike Paxton M P Paxton was a four-year letterwinner under Head Coach Bobby Kilpatrick, whose jersey was retired C last season. In his stint in the Blue and Gray, the la rright hander went 22-11 and struck out over 200 batters. The 22 wins he posted on the mound ranks b ssixth all-time on Memphis’ career pitching wins list, while his 208 strikeouts and 259 innings of work are w both ranked fifth. The Memphis, native recorded 19 b ccomplete games as Tiger, including going the distance in one of the program’s 11 one-hitters to deta feat Millikan College 2-1 in 1975. Paxton put up two of the program’s top-five single-season ERA totals when he finished with a 1.87 (fourth on Memphis’ single-season list) in 1974 and then followed that by posting a 1.98 ERA in 1975. He led the Tigers in innings pitched in ‘74 and then paced the staff in innings (67.0) and strikeouts (68) in the ‘75 season. He was inducted into the M-Club Hall of Fame in 1982.
He was traded to the Cleveland Indians prior to the 1978 season and had perhaps the most productive season of his four-year career. He worked 191 innings and went 12-11 with 96 strikeouts in 27 starts. In his 27 starts, Paxton went the distance five times. He was dominant, posting a pair of complete-game shutouts in the 1978 schedule. Paxton accomplished and unusual feat on July 21, 1978 when he struck out four batters in the fifth inning of an 11-0 win against the Seattle Mariners.
59
Paxton finished his career in 1980 with the Indians. For his Major League stint, he went 30-24 in 99 appearances with 63 starts and 10 complete games. He struck out 230 hitters and posted a 4.71 lifetime ERA.
UNIVERSITY
Paxton was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 1975 amateur draft and worked his way through the farm system. He made his Major League debut in a Red Sox uniform against the Minnesota Twins on May 25, 1977. As a rookie, he went on to post a 10-5 record, with a 3.58 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 108 innings of work. He made 12 starts in 29 appearances. His strongest outing came on July 28, 1977 when he tossed a 12-0 complete-game shutout against the Milwaukee Brewers.
C-USA
Kilpatrick also served as the Special Events Coordinator for Memphis, serving as the tournament director for three different NCAA Basketball First and Second Round tournaments and one NCAA Women’s Regional Final.
A native of Edwardsville, Illinois, Mark Little ccame to the Tiger baseball program and rewrote th the career hitting record book in just two seassons. Little, who was drafted in the 8th round by th the Texas Rangers after an All-American camp paign at Memphis in 1994, still holds the Memp phis baseball career record for batting average ((.424) and single season records for hits (104), ru runs scored (93), RBI (86), home runs (21), sslugging percentage (.816) and total bases ((195). He is still tied for the single game record fo for home runs in a game, three, a feat he accomplished against Dayton in 1994. He also still holds the school record for longest hitting streak (24 games). Behind the power of Little, the 1994 Tigers advanced to the NCAA tournament, falling one game short of the College World Series. Little was named to the 1994 NCAA All-Region team and was named the Great Midwest Conference MVP. After being drafted in 1994, Little spent six seasons in minor league baseball, including one season in Memphis in the PCL, before being called up to St. Louis. Little then spent two more years with Memphis in the PCL before playing the next four years in MLB with three different teams (Colorado, Arizona and the New York Mets). Most recently Little played 32 games for the Cleveland Indians in 2004 and has played in over 150 games in Major League Baseball. He was an outfielder for the Albuquerque Isotopes, a AAA affiliate of the Florida Marlins, before retiring in 2006.
FACILITIES
Coach Kilpatrick stepped down from his head coaching post after the 1992 season. His legacy continued as the Tigers went on to advance to the Great Midwest Conference tournament championship in each of the next three seasons. Memphis claimed the GMC crown in 1993 and 1995. At the conclusion of his coaching career Coach K remained heavily involved in the baseball program, as well as eight other Olympic sports as the University’s spring sports coordinator.
Mark Little M
HISTORY

STILLWATER, Okla.– With their backs against the wall, Memphis exploded for nine runs in the seventh inning to eliminate the home team Oklahoma State Cowboys, 12-4. Collins Day fanned seven, scattered nine hits and held the #3 Cowboys to just four earned runs in a complete game performance. The contest was a defensive battle early on as OSU plated a run in the first and then another in the fifth for a 2-0 lead. Memphis’ bats woke up in the sixth as Mark Little tied the game with a two-run homer to left. The Tigers then pounded eight hits in a nine-run seventh. Mark Bland and Jeff Hoekstra ignited the inning with as both posted two-run bases loaded singles to right. Memphis crossed a run in the eighth to make it 12-2. Little, Nate Weimer and Jeff Ince each knocked three hits, while Bland, Little, Hoekstra and Weimer drove in two runs each.
Tim Corder and Chris Litano held James Madison off the scoreboard for seven innings, while the Memphis State offense scored runs in all but the third inning to claim a dominant 16-3 first-round win over JMU in the NCAA East Regional Playoffs. Memphis took advantage of a pair of Bulldog errors to score four first-inning runs and never looked back. Dave Anderson and DH Shane Young belted back-toback home runs in the second and David Hernandez and Dale Logan completed the feat in the fifth for a 12-0 MSU lead.
STILLWATER, Okla.– Memphis picked up where it left off, and advanced in the NCAA Midwest Regional with a convincing 14-9 triumph over Northwestern State. Jeff Hoekstra led Memphis with a 3-for-5 effort and four RBI. It did not take long for Memphis to get things rolling as Cary Fenton led the game off with a triple. Mark Bland drove him in, and Nate Weimer and Jeff Ince later made

Memphis was unable to get the timely hit and left 13 runners stranded, including leaving nine on from the second through sixth innings as they fell to South Carolina, 8-5. While the Tigers were stranding runners in the middle five innings, USC was driving them in, scoring five of its eight runs in that stretch of the game despite three MSU double plays. Memphis State rallied for three runs in the top of the seventh to cut the deficit to 6-4, but the Gamecocks responded with a pair in the home half of the frame to put the game away. Ed Williamson was saddled with the loss after giving up five earned runs in four innings of work. Dave Anderson and Scott Pearson each finished with four hits for MSU.

NASHVILLE, Tenn– Austin Peay opened the contest with a six-run first and then plated six runs in the fifth en route to eliminating Memphis from the NCAA Championships Nashville Regional with an 18-7 decision. The Tigers, who posted an improved record for the second straight season finish the year 36-27--the most wins by a Memphis club since 1994. Memphis trailed 9-3 through three-and-a-half innings before inclement weather forced a 3:28 rain delay. A rejuvenated Tiger club came out in the fourth, and highlighted by two-run homer to right off the bat of Adam Amar, cut the deficit to just two runs at 9-7. Memphis was unable to score again. Three APSU pitchers held Memphis scoreless over the final five innings, while the Govs posted a six-run fifth. Austin Peay tacked on a run in the sixth and pinch hitter Tyler Bullock launched a two-run blast in the eighth for the 18-7 final. Tiger starter Ben Grisham struggled early and never was able to settle in as APSU touched him up for six runs on five hits in the opening frame. Grisham took the loss. An RBI-single by Chris Kirkland followed by a two-run double that hit 30 feet high on Hawkins Field’s 35-foot leftfield wall, made it a 6-3 ballgame after two innings of play, but the deficit proved to be too much for the Tigers in the end. Memphis banged out 14 hits in the contest. Amar and Kirkland had three hits each. Murray joined the duo with two RBI. Murray finishes his Tiger career with a 22-game hit streak--just one game shy of the program record of 23 straight games produced by Mark Little in 1994. Amar finished the Nashville Regional 5-for-9 with three homers. He hit 31 round-trippers in his career. The 18 runs by Austin Peay represents the highest offensive output against Memphis in NCAA Regional competition, topping the 17 runs scored by Minnesota in a 17-4 NCAA West Regional tilt in 1976.

it 3-0 with RBI hits. The Tigers then extended the lead to five runs on Hoekstra’s two-run double. NSU closed the gap with a pair of runs in the fourth, but Hoekstra responded with another RBI and then came around to score for 7-2 cushion. Scott Curtis’ three-run home run highlighted a six-run seventh that put the game away. Little drove in a pair with a double and Hoekstra followed with an RBI-double. Northwestern State scored five in the eighth and one in the ninth, but it was too little too late.
OUTLOOK
NASHVILLE, Tenn.– Adam Amar homered twice and drove in three, but a four-run seventh inning by Michigan sent the Tigers into the elimination round of the 2007 NCAA Nashville Regional with a 10-7 loss. After a two-run blast off the leftfield foul pole by Joey Lieberman cut Memphis’ deficit to 5-4, the Tigers gave away three unearned tallies to fall behind 9-4 in the seventh. Amar brought Memphis to within three runs when he launched his second homer of the afternoon--a lined drive over the left centerfield wall– to make it a 9-6 ballgame. Memphis rallied for a run in the ninth and brought the tying run to the plate, but was unable to complete the comeback. In its first NCAA Regional contest since 1994, Memphis jumped on the board first as Amar quickly jumped on a Zach Putnam fastball, sending it over the 35-foot leftfield wall and onto the roof of Memorial Gymnasium. The Tigers went up 2-0 in the third when Michael Murray drove Tyler Huelsing in with a single through the left side. Tiger starter Scott McGregor (5-4) ran into trouble. The Wolverine offense touched the right-hander for three runs in the inning and never trailed from that point on. Lieberman’s home run was the 27th of his career as a Tiger, while Amar produced his milestone 30th roundtripper. The senior is second all-time at Memphis in home runs. Murray, Bill Moss and Amar had two hits each. Murray extended his hit streak to a career-long 21 games. Huelsing was the leader of the offense, banging out a team-high three singles and scoring two runs. Putnam went eight innings and fanned seven to lead Michigan to its 40th win of the year, while McGregor surrendered five runs on eight hits in five innings. He struck out two. Dusty Davis came on in relief of McGregor to strike out four in two frames.
Memphis’ 36 wins was four more than the Tigers posted in 2006, marking the second straight season Daron Schoenrock led the U of M to an improvement in the win column.

The longball was Memphis State’s weapon of choice in the elimination game. After Hernandez’s homer, catcher Richard Webster connected with a two-run shot in the third, and first baseman Gary Williams lifted a solo homer over the wall in the fourth. Webster, who finished the game with three hits, three RBI and a pair of runs scores, drove in the final run of the contest on a one-out single in the fourth.
Memphis State starter Blair Gilbert tossed a four-hit complete game gem to pick up his 11th win of the year as MSU bounced East Tennessee St. from the South Regional Playoffs with a 5-0 win.

The rally started in the eighth inning, when down 5-3, Alan Robinson ripped a two-out double to centerfield to plate Jeff Robinson and ignited a two-run frame and knot the score at 5-5. May 22, 1978 Memphis State 8, North Carolina 6 North Carolina 120 001 011 - 6 7 3 Memphis State 203 010 02X - 8 10 0 UNC- Beverly, Kirk (3), Brewer (7), Johnson (8), DeRatt (8) and Brewer; MSU- Lea, Hopkins (8) and Webster. WP: Lea (8-2). LP: Beverly (2-2); HR: UNC- Brewer; MSU- Pressgrove. 2B: MSU- J. Robinson, Granger (2). SB: MSU- Smith, Granger, Parks, Pressgrove. SH: MSU- Webster. Terry Pressgrove’s two-run blast highlighted a three-run third inning that proved to be the deciding factor in an 8-6 MSU triumph over North Carolina. The win forced a second championship matchup between the two teams to decide who would represent the South Region in the 1978 NCAA College World Series. Tiger’s starter Charlie Lea hurled 7.2 strong innings to pick up the win, while Allen Robinson, Jeff Robinson and Jeff Granger each had two hits. Robinson and Granger each had RBI-hits to put two runs on the board for Memphis State in the first inning, but Lloyd Brewer’s two-run shot put UNC ahead 3-2 in the second. May 23, 1978 **North Carolina 11, Memphis State 9 Memphis State 101 420 001 - 9 North Carolina 021 032 03X - 11 MSU- Gilbert, Beshears (6), Graves (6) and Webster; UNC- Norris and Brewer.

SH: MSU- Mincher, Granger; UNCGriffith, Caddell. SF: MSU- A. Robinson; UNC- Robinson. HBP: MSU- Mincher Memphis jumped out to an 8-3 lead, but North Carolina broke an 8-8 tie with three runs in the eighth to claim the South Region title and advance to the 1978 NCAA College World Series. Memphis finished the season with a 40-9 mark. Memphis crossed single tallies in the first and third innings and then went up 6-3 with a four-run fourth inning. Two more runs were plated in the fifth to give the Tigers what looked to be an insurmountable 8-3 cushion in the
fifth. But UNC used two MSU errors to rally for five runs over the next two innings to tie the contest and 8-8. Memphis rallied for a run in the top of the ninth, on a solo homer by James Davis, but that would be all the Tigers offense could muster in the final frame. UNC pitcher Greg Norris got the win to improve to 14-0 in his collegiate career.

LP: Comer; HR: MSU- Merritt, Reed. 3B: MSU- McNeely. 2B: MSU- White. SB: MSUMcNeely. SF: MSU- Frix. Danny Parks struck out seven in a two-hit shutout to lead Memphis State to a 6-0 opening-round win over Minnesota in the NCAA West Regionals in Tempe, Ariz. Parks worked 5.2 perfect innings before a defensive error broke up his perfect-game bid. He held Minnesota hitless through 8.2 innings. Each of the Tigers’ first five batters reached base safely as they jumped out to a 3-0 lead after one inning. A solo homer by Ron Merritt made it 4-1 in the third and Ron McNeely’s RBI-triple made it 5-0 cushion in the sixth. Robert Reed’s solo shot in the seventh capped the scoring for the Tigers. Reed and McNeely each had three hits.

SB: ASU- Lanx (3), Carbern, Peters. SH: ASU- Phears, Henderson. MSU- McNeely. SF: ASUPhears. HBP: ASU- Lanx. Memphis State was held to just three hits and did not score until the ninth inning as Arizona State raced to an 11-4 win in the second round of the NCAA West Regional Playoffs. The Sun Devils erupted for four runs in the fourth inning and held the Tigers to just one hit through eight innings.

Two days after shutting the Golden Gophers out in the first game of the NCAA West Regionals, Minnesota retaliated to eliminate the Tigers in a 17-4 decision. Minnesota touched up Memphis State starter Dusty Farmer for three runs in the first inning on a triple, home run and two singles. The big blow came in the third inning. The Gophers sent 10 batters to the plate and posted five runs on six hits. Memphis State got on the board with a single tally in the fourth, but Minnesota responded with three in the fifth, one in the six and seventh and two more in the eight to take a 17-1 lead. The Tigers battled for three in the ninth for the 17-4 final.

The 2010 season begins a new era in the annals of University of Memphis baseball. After calling Nat Buring Stadium home for 36 season, construction and renovations have been completed for Tigers baseball’s new home–FedExPark. Thanks to a $3 million gift from FedEx Corp. (NYSE:FDX), construction redesigned the former Nat Buring Stadium that housed Memphis Tiger baseball since 1972. In addition to the new scoreboard that was put in place in January 2008, the redesign includes a new dressing facility, indoor practice facility, training room, players lounge, locker roms, coaches offices, dugouts, grandstand, concession areas, press box and a private suite which will aid players, teams and fans with their game day experience.

The dressing facility will include locker rooms for both Tiger coaches and players, office and meeting space, a player’s lounge, indoor pitching and batting cages, as well as a direct entrance into the Tiger dugout and field at game time. The grandstand area will feature an expanded press area for media covering the events, as well as newly-constructed restrooms and concession stands. The press box will have private booths for both radio and television broadcasts, as well as working media and event management areas. A grand entrance way has been constructed at the main entrance to the ballpark from the leftfield parking lots. Construction setup began on Feb. 16–two days before 2009 Opening Day. Construction crews
took over the Tigers’ home, forcing them to play the 2009 season at three different balparks in the Memphis area. The Tigers called Millington’s USA Stadium its home for the season, but hosted games at AutoZone Park and Gagliano Stadium. The stadium redesign is the latest of several upgrades to the Memphis baseball facility. On March 27, 1991, the Memphis Athletic Department ushered in a new era–night baseball. The Tigers hosted Mississippi State University in the program’s first-ever night game. The Tigers played three times under the lights in 1991. While the ballpark’s surroundings were renovated, the playing field remains the same. Noted for its cozy dimensions, it has often proved to be a pitchers’ park when the wind blows in from left field. However, when the wind blows out to left, hitters would think differently. The dimensions down the lines are 318 and 317 feet in left and right fields, respectively, 360 in the alleys and 379 to center. Several other renovations have taken place since the stadium opened in 1972. Besides the 1991 addition of lights to the stadium, a new backstop was installed at the beginning of the 1994 season to allow better visibility for the fans. Chairback seats were also installed in the grandstand area for better comfort and enjoyment of Tiger baseball games. During the summer of 1994, the playing surface of the infield was overhauled, giving Nat Buring Stadium one of the best natural grass playing surfaces in the South. In the winter of 1999, new dugouts were constructed. In the spring of 2004, the entire playing field was leveled out and resurfaced for better playing conditions. A new wall was added to the list of stadium improvements in the winter of 2005. Prior to the 2006 campaign, field turf was installed around the batter’s circle to help maintain the field’s aesthetic in the high-traffic area. FedExPark replaces Nat Buring Stadium, where Memphis compiled a 667-295-1 record in 36 seasons. Following the 1971 season, the Tigers moved to the University’s Park Avenue Campus from Tobey Park, located at the corner of Hollywood and Central. The team also played games at Blues Stadium, which in now known as the former Tim McCarver Stadium.

AutoZone Park

The 2010 season marks the 10th year of a special cooperative between the University of Memphis baseball program and the Memphis Redbirds. After calling AutoZone Park home for five games in 2009, head coach Daron Schoenrock and his club will play just one contest at the downtown ballpark in 2010–the annual battle with Ole Miss on April 13. The relationship began on August 20, 2001, when former Tiger head coach Dave Anderson and his squad gathered in front of AutoZone Park in downtown Memphis to reveal what U of M fans had anticipated for weeks. Tiger baseball would begin a relationship with the Memphis Redbirds that would allow the U of M to share the minor league stadium that many have deemed the best ballpark in all of minor league baseball. Accompanied by U of M Athletic Director R.C. Johnson, Redbirds Co-Founder Dean Jernigan and President of the Memphis Redbirds’ Baseball Foundation Rita Sparks, Anderson finally outlined his AutoZone plans at the late-August press conference. “This is a great day for our baseball program,” Anderson said. “AutoZone Park is one of the finest baseball parks in the country and now we can tell all of our recruits that they will be playing on the same field as the Mark McGwires and Albert Pujols. They’ll be dressing in a state-of-the-art clubhouse and playing in a big-league park.” “This is indeed an important day for our baseball program,” Johnson told reporters. “It is important for us because it demonstrates that our program is headed in the right direction and that the Memphis business community is behind us.” Memphis played just one game at AutoZone Park in the 2001 season. The result was a 3-1 win over Ole Miss for its first win at the minor league ball park. After the Redbirds released their 2002 home schedule, Anderson announced that Memphis was scheduled to play 14 home games at the minor league facility.
Memphis’ second season of play at the ‘Zone saw the Tigers host conference series against USF, UAB and then-C-USA newcomer East Carolina. The Tigers also hosted non-conference opponents Middle Tennessee State, Southeast Missouri State, and SEC rival Ole Miss. The Tigers’ second season saw the club post a 3-10 record at AutoZone. A pair of conference wins over USF and a non-league triumph over Southeast Missouri St. highlighted the 13-game schedule. The Tigers produced one of their more dramatic wins in recent memory during the 2003 campaign at AutoZone Park. Designated hitter Ryan Martin hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to defeat Mississippi State 8-7. Memphis went 2-4 in games at the minor league facility last season also winning its C-USA opener 3-2 against Louisville with a ninth-inning rally. The Tigers called the ‘Zone home for five contests in 2004. Year four got off to a rough start, with Ole Miss handing the Tigers one of the worst losses in history. Memphis then bounced back to defeat Austin Peay, 5-2, in a game that was originally slated to be played at Nat Buring Stadium. A dramatic 6-5 win over league foe No. 18 East Carolina highlighted the Tigers’ five-game schedule at the downtown ball park as they finished the year with a 2-3 mark at AutoZone. Year five showcased just one contest at AutoZone. The Tigers battled No. 22 Ole Miss, but fell short in a 6-5 decision. The downtown park remained unkind to Schoenrock and his crew in 2006 as the Tigers losing streak at AutoZone extended to five games after an 8-4 loss to Ole Miss, followed by a 5-3 setback to Mississippi State. The 2007 schedule at AutoZone Park was the Tigers’ most successful one to date. Memphis went 3-1 and claimed the AutoZone Classic title in its four games in the downtown gem. The Tigers’ lone loss came in the last of the four tilts, when the 13th-
ranked Ole Miss Rebels defeated them 10-2. The three wins tied the Tigers’ most wins in a season at AutoZone Park and represented the most U of M victories since the 2002 season. Two games were scheduled for AutoZone Park in 2008, but due to weather, the Tigers were able to get just one of those contests in. However, it proved to be a thriller as Memphis defeated Mississippi State 9-8 in 10 innings to end a nine-game skid. The Tigers struggled at AutoZone Park in 2009, going 1-4. In its opener at the AAA gem, Memphis took a one-run lead into the ninth inning only to see 15th-ranked Ole Miss get a game-tying two-out RBI single in the ninth and a two-out RBI-single in the top of the 10th in a 7-6 loss. Memphis evened its slate with a convincing league win over UCF in the series opener, but dropped game two and watched the Knights blast three ninth-inning home runs in a 5-3 loss in Sunday’s series finale. Things at AutoZone did not get any easier for Memphis in its finale game at the park versus Mississippi State. The Bulldogs got a game-winning solo blast in the eighth to down the Tigers 6-5. Memphis is 13-25 all-time in its nine years of action at AutoZone Park.

A PROUD HISTORY; A PROMISING FUTURE Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner on April 24, 1995 in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001.

or almost a century the University of Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the city of Memphis, the state of Tennessee and the surrounding Mid-South region. From its inception as a normal school dedicated to the education of public school teachers, to its role today as an educator of technologically-savvy graduates who face a complex world, the University of Memphis has always fulfilled its current mission while looking forward to and planning for its future. Exceptional students from Tennessee, from every other state in the nation and from almost 100 countries around the world choose to attend the University of Memphis. They come here on the recommendation of their major professors at European universities; they come here to study subjects that are offered nowhere else; they come to study alongside men and women who are recognized and respected throughout the academic and scientific communities as foremost in their fields. Ever forward-looking, the University of Memphis is poised to enter one of its most historic and productive periods. From the faculty and staff we have in place to our alumni and benefactors, our “people assets” have never been more willing, able and generous in their efforts to build an academic environment that makes a life-long impact on the young minds at the U of M.

C. Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing U of M Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 13 years, the dynamic administrator has built Tiger Athletics into a nationally-recognized program that has been to five bowl games in the last six years and played for the Men’s Basketball National Championship title in 2007-08. In addition, for the last 11 straight years, donations to the department have continued to rise, and on June 30, 2009, a record-setting $7 million was announced by the Tiger Scholarship Fund. Also in the last six years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 14 total C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. The men’s basketball program has garnered five regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and four C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), while the women’s soccer program claimed back-to-back-to-back league championships in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which benefits nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, a weight room and turf practice field for Tiger Football, a redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium that is currently underway, the completed golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and the Anfernee Hardaway Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball practice facility, which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 37 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative longterm contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. Last fall, the U of M entered into a five-year, $11.3 million partnership with Nike to provide shoes, apparel and equipment for all Tiger athletic teams. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 50 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the fall 2007 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2008 and spring 2009, 335 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and 12 had a 4.0 for the year and 20 others had a 4.0 either in the fall or spring. Nine teams logged a semester average of 3.0 or higher for the 2007 fall semester, and for the last four straight semesters, the athletic department as a whole has maintained a 2.8 GPA . In May 2008, 44 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. Johnson came to Memphis after serving as athletic director at Temple from 1994-1995. A long-time administrator, Johnson also served as an athletic director at Miami University (19881994) and Eastern Illinois (1980-88), and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. An native of Ottawa, Ill., Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; five grandchildren and one great grandson.

T
he University of Memphis athletic training staff is second-to-none when it comes to ensuring that U of M student-athletes receive quality care in the areas of athletic injury, rehabilitation and preventative care. With fully-staffed athletic training rooms located at the Murphy Athletic Complex, the Larry O. Finch Center and the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, Memphis student-athletes can be assured of receiving the best medical attention and rehabilitation available. The Murphy Athletic Complex training room was redesigned and reconstructed as part of the $6 million renovation of the Park Avenue Campus in 2003. The athletic training facility contains an inground aquatic rehabilitation pool, allowing athletic trainers to work on rehabilitating injuries without having the student-athlete support his/ her own body weight. The athletic training room also contains doctor examination rooms, storage areas and the latest in rehabilitation equipment. The athletic training staff uses a comprehensive approach to the injury care and wellness of student-athletes by utilizing state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment with the latest methods in the care and prevention of injuries. The athletic training staff is surrounded by many qualified and generous team doctors who are available to the many student-athletes at the University of Memphis. Dr. Barney Freeman, Dr. Fred Azar and Dr. Barry Phillips of The Campbell Clinic are directly responsible for the orthopedic needs of the Tiger football team, while Dr. Thomas Meriwether and Dr. Arthur Franklin serve as the team physicians. Tiger student-athletes are fortunate to have the two largest privately-owned hospital systems in the world located in Memphis. Baptist Hospital and Methodist Hospital offer the finest in healthcare to area residents and handle the care of Memphis student-athletes. The athletic training staff is one support group that the athletic teams cannot do without. They are responsible for staffing all practices and games as well as handling the day-today rehabilitation of injured or post-surgery student-athletes. The goal of the sports medicine department is not only to care for the injuries, but also to assist the student-athletes in preventing injuries from occurring.

ead Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Stark oversees all workouts at the Murphy Athletic Complex. The Tiger football, baseball, softball, track and field, cross country, and men’s and women’s soccer teams work out at the Murphy Complex. A former U of M football player, Stark has worked with over 40 NFL players, including the Carolina Panthers’ DeAngelo Williams, the New England Patriots’ Stephen Gostkowski, the Cleveland Browns’ Brandon McDonald, the Cincinnati Bengals’ Clinton McDonald and the San Francisco 49ers’ All-Pro receiver Isaac Bruce. In addition to the Murphy Athletic Complex weight room, there is a weight facility in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse that was refurbished in the spring of 2005. That weight room benefits women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s tennis and men’s and women’s golf. Former Marshall strength and conditioning coach Mike Jenkins was hired in June 2008 to assist Stark and oversee the Fieldhouse strength facility. The men’s basketball team utilizes a weight room that is located in its practice facility, the Larry O. Finch Center. Assistant Strength Coach Richard Hogans is charged with the workouts of Tiger basketball. Construction is set to begin this spring on a new 13,000-square-foot weight facility on the back of the Murphy Athletic Complex. The new facility will be used exclusively by the Tiger Football team, and will be furnished with stateof-the-art weight training equipment. Once the addition is complete, Tiger athletic squads will have four fully-equipped weight rooms for meeting their full training potential.
WEIGHT ROOM HIGHLIGHTS • The current 10,500-square-foot varsity weight room is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware so that groups of up to 75 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effectiveness and efficiency. • Workouts are designed and supervised by one or more of the Strength and Conditioning staff’s certified specialists, and each studentathlete’s individual progress is projected via a computerized database. • The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, multi-joint movements with fundamental principles: exercise techniques are simplified and performed on an alternating heavy/explosive basis in order to maximize training effects while minimizing teaching and training time (as well as fatigue). Performance based fitness and work quality are the bottom-line objective. • Coach Mike Stark developed the Iron Tiger program at Memphis, which tests power, speed and strength.

ATHLETIC COMPLEX • The University of Memphis Murphy Athletic Complex is located approximately one mile south of the institution’s main campus and serves as the home and training facility for many of the Tiger athletic teams. • Opened in 1971, the Murphy Complex, the first of its kind in the Southeast, offers the Tiger football team the ability to practice outdoors on four 100-yard grass fields. If weather conditions are less than favorable, the team can move indoors to the turf room and workouts can continue. • A spacious locker room for the football team includes such amenities as steam and sauna rooms as well as in-house television and stereo systems. Large equipment rooms, training rooms and weight rooms are available for all Tiger teams that work out at the Murphy Complex. • The Murphy Complex underwent some major changes and renovations in 2003. The renovations were part of a $6 million facelift given to the Murphy Complex, giving Tiger student-athletes a state-of-the-art training facility. • The renovation of the Murphy Complex included numerous areas for team use. The 25,000-square-foot addition houses a new locker room for the football squad. It also includes a theater-style football team meeting room, offensive and defensive meeting rooms and individual meeting rooms for position coaches. • The renovated training room has examination rooms for team doctors, rehabilitation and taping areas and an inground aquatic pool for rehabilitating injuries. • The equipment room was renovated with an additional laundry room to ease the burden of taking care of the equipment needs of the football, track, baseball, softball and soccer teams. • Additional locker rooms were added for the football staff, women’s soccer team and visiting teams competing at the track and field and baseball facilities. A media interview room, video room and storage room were also a part of the renovation project.

n March 2002, vast improvements were beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time, Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff after spending the previous 10 years at Austin Peay State University. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two (which is now four) special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newlyrenovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of eight, while also utilizing 20 tutors, two academic interns, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance/ certification. The academic services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising. Further detail about the services and programs offered by CAAS are found on the website, http://www.memphis.edu/caas/index. php. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last seven academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of student-athletes made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club, the department semester GPA record has been set, and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious national academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic All-America. Ultimately, the goal of every student-athlete is to graduate. CAAS has continued to set records here as well as 44 student-athletes graduated in May, 2009, encompassing the largest-ever graduation group for the athletics department. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 23 student computer stations, 17 offices and numerous study tables. Four academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earned gradepoint averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 student-athletes with the best grade-point average on each team and then the next best group of student-athletes, totaling 30. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester. The fourth and newest award, CAAS Academic Achievement Award, is presented to the student-athlete(s) who has overcome personal hardship but has still worked hard in the classroom.

hen the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane, and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. In the fall of 1991, the Highland Hundred Tiger Guard received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. TOM II would serve with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on October 15th of that year. Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke of good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born August 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on November 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on November 22 during a football game against the UCF.

onsidered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of MidAmerica. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis recently realized a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which transformed the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects was the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Also located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studio. Stax became known for “sweet soul music” through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. One of Hi-Records’ premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records’ most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley’s Graceland is one of the five most visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in the United States after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historical Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. The city’s location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting the city. Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation’s largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world’s busiest cargo airport. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day.
