Bulldog “Belief, Faith, Trust” Style Over the past 17 seasons, head coach Fred Jordan has seen his Bulldogs win seven SoCon titles and advance to the NCAA Regionals six times. A former Bulldog pitcher, Jordan has established the Bulldogs as one of the hardest working and most consistent teams in the country.
This is Bulldog Baseball
Hard work is what “Bulldog Style” is all about. With talent that can compete at any level, Jordan instills the words “Belief, Faith, Trust” into his players and by the time spring training rolls around, they are not just words, but a way of life on and off the diamond.

Jordan’s players never leave the field with a clean uniform or without dirt on their faces. Many around the Southern Conference point to this as the reason the Bulldogs have been so successful since Jordan took the reigns in 1992.
ing staffs traditionally rank in the top-30 in the nation in earned run average, while also being one of the top pitching teams in the SoCon. Jordan’s pitching staffs have won eight conference ERA titles during his tenure. Jordan is not only a pitching guru, but his teams have produced superior hitting numbers and play exceptional defense as well. During his tenure, Bulldog players have hit over .300 for a season on 97 different occasions while 24 have stolen over 20 bases in a single season. During his 17 seasons, The Citadel record books have been rewritten and the majority of the offensive records are held by hitters under his tutelage. Jordan’s clubs regularly lead the conference in fielding percentage, including in 2004 when the Bulldogs set a new single-season record with a .974 mark.
All of these factors can be summed up in these Since Jordan arrived, every player that has been words ... “The Citadel Baseball. Not Just a Searecruited by him has been in a position to win a son, but for a Lifetime.” Southern Conference Championship. His pitch-

“The body will tolerate more than the mind will lead it to believe. Our program is built around several principles that stem much farther than that phrase is capable of reaching. However, if I could pick one thing that I could give to every athlete that trains with us, then it would be that mentality. I think focus is the single most important facet of athletic performance enhancement, as well as on field performance. Distractions are really the only thing that can slow a person’s progress. When an athlete has developed the mental toughness to never be distracted by things like fatigue, environment and surroundings, they become pretty hard to beat.�

Joseph P. Welcome Riley, to “The Joe” Jr. Park
10
In the spring of 1997, a Citadel official was quoted as saying the Bulldogs had three important things going for its baseball program: weather, tradition and the best facility in college baseball. When The Citadel moved from historic College Park to Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park and played their first game in “The Joe” on April 6, 1997, the Bulldogs continued to play in one of the best facilities in college baseball. Named for the longtime – and current – Charleston mayor who is a 1964 graduate of The Citadel, “The Joe” has seating for 6,000 in one of the most picturesque ballpark settings in the country. Designed by HOK Sport, the same architecture firm that designed Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Coors Field in Denver, Jacobs Field in Cleveland, Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. and PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Riley Park is located on the banks of the Ashley River with a view of the Charleston Marina beyond the leftcenter field wall. The winning tradition that was a mainstay at College Park was immediately established in the first game ever to be played at Riley Park on April 6, 1997. The Citadel’s Ryan Butler blasted a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Bulldogs a 6-5, come-from-behind victory over Western Carolina. Not to be outdone by advancements in technology, Riley Park was upgraded in 2006 when a state-of-the-art video board was installed, replacing the original matrix board. In addition, a new scoreboard was installed featuring LED lighting. Since its first full season as home of the Bulldogs in 1998, Riley Park has seen over 481,000 fans file through the gates to

That’s nearly three bricks for each person in Charleston. *Sprinklers -- There are a total of 75 sprinkler heads. *Light Poles -- There are six, each 120-feet high with 112 luminaries producing 168,000 watts of light. *Showers -- One could have a daily shower for three months and never use the same shower. There are a total of 96 in the ballpark. *Speakers -- The park has a total of 90 speakers. *Grass -- Riley Park has Tifway Burmuda 419. watch The Citadel play, averaging over 43,700 fans per year. The single game attendance record for a collegiate baseball game at “The Joe” was on March 30, 2005 when 5,802 people watched The Citadel play South Carolina. The most fans to watch the Bulldogs over the course of a season at home was in 2004 when over 58,500 fans headed to “The Joe” to watch the Bulldogs play. The Citadel has finished in the top-35 nationally in attendance eight times in the 11 seasons playing at Riley Park. The roaring crowds in support of the Bulldogs make “The Joe” one of the toughest places to play in the South. That has resonated with the success of the program as the Bulldogs have accumulated a 264-132 (.667) record at Riley Park. That includes a 12543 (.744) mark in Southern Conference games. That success rate is an extension of the success established at College Park from 1967 – 1997 as the Bulldogs went 549-257 and posted a .681 winning percentage. In its inaugural season, Riley Park became home to the Southern Conference Tournament, a popular mainstay in the Holy City. One of the most attended college baseball tournaments in the nation, The Citadel and Riley Park hosted the SoCon Tournament through the 2008 season, marking 19 consecutive years the tournament has been held in Charleston. After a year’s absence in Greenville, S.C., the tournament is slated to return to its home city in 2010.

The single-game tournament attendance record of 5,419 was set in 2003 for an opening round game between The Citadel and the College of Charleston. The tournament attendance record was set in 2004 when more than 35,000 fans attended the SoCon Tournament at Riley Park, an average of 2,343 per game. Over 300,000 patrons have attended the 19 previous SoCon Tournaments held in Charleston and anxiously await its return. Riley Park is more than a playing field for the Bulldogs. The Citadel’s clubhouse, affectionately named “Chal’s House” after legendary coach Chal Port, provides individual lockers for each player, a full amenity bathroom facility, coaches’ locker room and office and meeting space. The Bulldog Hall of Fame that boasts players that have gone on to the professional ranks, along with The Citadel’s Wall of Champions, line the halls leading to the clubhouse. There are also exclusive tunnels that run to the batting cages and dugout as well as a sports medicine training room. Riley Park also features ample restroom facilities, convenient concession stands, sufficient parking, a state-of-the-art videoboard, an easy-to-read scoreboard with LED lighting, party areas, skyboxes, a comfortable press box with separate radio and televi-

The Citadel Baseball
Historic Home to Bulldog College Baseball Since 1967 Park
After serving as the home to The Citadel baseball program for more than 26 successful seasons, historic College Park remains a part of the Bulldog program as the team’s practice and training facility. Known with a lengthy tradition for housing sporting events in Charleston, College Park served as host of the Southern Conference Tournament from 1990 – 1996 and still remains host to Dixie League games, travel team tournaments and baseball camps throughout the year.
College Park features a well-manicured playing surface, four full-length batting cages, a tee and soft toss area, a bullpen area with five pitching rubbers and a full-size clubhouse. Prior to Riley Park opening in the spring of 1997, College Park was home to the Bulldogs and the Charleston RiverDogs while also serving as the set for the movie Major League III: Back to the Minors and the local television drama Palmetto Pointe. The Citadel was 549-257 in the 30 years the Bulldogs called College Park home with 6,000 seats right on top of the field. Roaring crowds and hard-nosed teams made College Park an intimidating place for any opponent. Besides being a home for the Bulldogs, College Park has been home to the various minor league teams that have called Charleston home since the 1940s. College Park has also been the site of several major league exhibitions throughout its history. The Cincinnati Reds, Washington Senators, St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Red Sox have all taken the field at College Park. Also home to several concerts throughout history, College Park once hosted “The King,” Elvis Presley. Until 1967, the park was occasionally used by The Citadel when Washington Light Infantry Field, then home of the Dogs, was unplayable due to weather conditions. After the ballpark at WLI was extensively damaged by a tornado which swept through Charleston in 1966, the school leased – and eventually purchased – the park from the city and the Bulldogs began play there in 1967. College Park underwent renovations in 1984 and 1985 and was rebuilt after extensive damage from Hurricane Hugo in 1989 destroyed the roof, press box and tore out the light poles. Rebuilt before and during the 1990 season, the ballpark was home to the magical 1990 team that became the first – and still is the only – team from any military college to ever advance to the College World Series.

Located along the west side of Rutledge Avenue between Grove and Cleveland Streets, the once-city owned park was given its name by virtue of the College of Charleston leasing it for several years for its athletic games.

McAlister A Brand New Field Clubhouse House Orginially constructed in 1939 and renovated in 1989, McAlister Field House serves as the indoor home of the baseball program. With the seats pulled back, there is space for three full-size basketball courts and the baseball team utilizes this space throughout the year when inclement weather prevents the team from practicing elsewhere. The facility, which also houses the athletic department’s administrative offices, has a seating capacity of 6,000. When it was built in 1939, it was referred to as “The Citadel Armory” and seated 4,500 for basketball games.
This is Bulldog Baseball
Top to bottom, McAlister Field House is one of the top arenas for its sports in the region for both participants and fans. Even though 6,000 fans can pack into McAlister Field House for a basketball game, no fan is further than 24 rows away from the court. In addition, concession stands and rest room facilities are located on both the first and second floors. With the seats pulled back, there are three full-size basketball courts for practice. During inclement weather, The Citadel’s baseball, football, tennis and track and field teams use the facility.
McAlister Field House has hosted such entertainment acts as Dave Matthews, Widespread Panic, Bob Hope, Kenny Rogers and Patti LaBelle. Events that have utilized the multi-purpose bulding include WCW Wrestling, Charleston Cup Gymanastics Championships, Special Olympics, Moja Arts Festival, Rotary/Red Cross Roundball High School Basketball Classic and a number of high school and collge commencement ceremonies.

McAlister The Bulldogs’ Field Other HomeHouse
Through the generous donations of Bulldog alumni and fans, The Citadel Baseball unveiled a completely remodeled clubhouse in McAlister Field House prior to the 2008 season. “The Bulldogs Other Home,” the clubhouse in McAlister Field House is used on a daily basis and when the team is not playing or practicing at Riley Park. The remodeling of the clubhouse was financed almost entirely through donations and gifts-in-kind and features new wooden lockers for each player, new tile in the showers, a new stereo system, 42” flat screen plasma televisions, new carpet and furniture in the coaches offices and a brand new academic enrichment center.
McAlister Field House is one of the oldest college basketball venues currently in use today. Bulldog athletic teams have been calling it home since 1939. There are only 11 other venues that surpass The Citadel’s historic field house, including The Palestra at Penn and Butler’s Hinkle Field House.

1990 College World Series
a thunkCitadel it? Improbable Who’d Cast Carries to Glory By: Ken Burger - June 10, 1990 The Post & Courier
In the beginning, back in January, when they gathered to practice in warm-up suits and on some days could see their breath as they zipped the ball around the infield and the aluminum bats were cold to the touch, nobody gave it much thought. Nor did early February send any signs. The season started as most do, lost somewhere between the end of football and the crescendo of basketball. They were winning a few games, there even appeared to be a pattern. But nobody really gave it much thought. In fact no one, not even their coach, thought the 1990 Citadel baseball team would be much different from those that had come before. They were picked to finish sixth in the eight-member Southern Conference where only seven schools play baseball. So who’d a thunk it? That this band of unlikely heroes would somehow put it all together and battle their way to the College World Series. Certainly not the media. Certainly not coach Chal Port, who gave his usual preseason assessment of rebuilding. Probably not even the players, a group of 35 cadets with only seven seniors on the roster, almost all of whom are from South Carolina or neighboring towns in Georgia and North Carolina. They would go through their season, do their best, enjoy the camaraderie and be able to tell their sons about playing baseball at The Citadel many years from now. Nobody knew. Really. Nobody knew. It wasn’t until late February, maybe early March, when their headlines started getting a little larger, moving to the front page of the sports section. Bulldogs win 10th straight. Bulldogs win 12th straight. Bulldogs extend win streak. Soon the television stations were showing up at College Park to get snipets of the moment for the evening news. Win streaks are fun to follow. They give people something to talk about over lunch. How ‘bout those Bulldogs? And then the streak got serious. As they approached the school record, still winning, the pressure started building. Seventeen. Eighteen. Nineteen straight. The school record was 22 straight. Now people were paying attention. And they broke it, eventually winning 26 straight before losing to Kent State. The ride was over. The TV cameras didn’t come back for awhile. The team went into a mild slump, apparently returning to reality. Everybody could relax. But the slump didn’t last. The Bulldogs started winning again, this time with a little less hoopla. And by the end of the season they won the Southern Conference regular-season title going away. No contest. Interesting. And to make things more interesting, the conference tournament was coming to Charleston for the first time. The pressure was on again. By this time, however, the warm spring breezes of April found a Citadel team that had genuinely come into its own. They were loose. They were having fun. They had nothing to lose. And they didn’t. They dominated the tournament, won four straight, and earned the right to travel to Miami for the Atlantic Regional. Everybody thought it would be a nice trip for the boys who had played so hard. Nobody thought they would have a chance. But they did it again. Against unbelievable odds, they beat North Carolina State, East Carolina and the dreaded Miami Hurricanes twice to steal the regional crown and a trip to Omaha, Neb., for the College World Series. So who’d a thunk it?
20
Nobody was more surprised by this time than Port, a veteran of 26 years of coaching Citadel baseball teams. He had seen teams with more potential go south. He had seen some with less do well. But he had never had a group like this. By now the city of Charleston and the Palmetto State were getting a little giddy about this club. The Citadel, yes, The Citadel was in the College World Series. What a trip. What a story. Everybody thought it was great. Nobody thought they had a chance. And when they arrived in the Midwest, they didn’t. Not really. The other teams were loaded. Real contenders. The Bulldogs were just an aberration, a novelty. The only military school to ever make it to the final eight. Everybody talked about how they had to march and what great manners the boys had and how Port was one of the funniest, most entertaining coaches around. They lost their first game to Louisiana State, 8-2. People thought, that’s OK, at least they made it this far. Nobody expected them to do anything anyway. One more loss and they’re gone. They made a good showing. Got on ESPN. Then they played the game of their lives. Trailing Cal-State Fullerton 4-1 going into the seventh inning, they rallied. Port did some of his magic coaching and strained every ounce of talent and ability out of his team. They won, 8-7, in a 12-inning drama that few will forget. So they had done it. They had at least won a game in Omaha, proving they belonged, that they weren’t a fluke. One more loss and they’d be coming home. It came the next night, against LSU, again. This time it was 6-1, a loss relayed back to the fans by radio because ESPN couldn’t show it live due to its major-league obligation. It was probably better that way. Hearing it was less painful than watching it. And at 4:07 p.m. the next day, they touched down in Charleston. The end of a long odyssey. The season that couldn’t have been, had been. They became and remain the most unlikely and humble of heroes. For through their efforts they gave us all something to cheer for, and gave themselves something to remember forever. It was one of those things that wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did. And those are the best kind. Who’d a thunk it? In 1990, Ken Burger was the executive sports editor of The (Charleston) Post and Courier. (Column reprinted with permission.)
From Surviving a Hurricane...
1990 College World Series
How They Got There
Longest Winning Streak in the Nation
The Citadel was faced with great odds for success in 1990 long before the season started. In the fall of 1989, Hurricane Hugo destroyed the Bulldogs’ practice field adjacent to Johnson Hagood Stadium and severely damaged College Park. The team held preseason practices on the College Park field with construction of the rebuilding of College Park taking place around them. The construction to rebuild College Park was no quick effort, but lasted well into the season.
...To Surviving the Hurricanes
After clinching the Southern Conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament after winning the SoCon Tournament, The Citadel was sent to Coral Gables, Fla. as the No. 5 Seed in the NCAA Atlantic Regional. The Bulldogs were forced to defeat the Hurricanes on their home turf - twice.

Did You Know?
The Citadel held the longest winning streak in the nation in 1990 after winning 26 straight games. That winning streak, which garnered national media attention (see New York Times article to the right), began on Feb. 18 with a 12-1 win over North Carolina State and ended on March 27 with a 2-1 loss to Kent State.
Diary of a Dream Season Feb. 9 – The Citadel opens the season with a 5-4 victory on the road against the No. 1 ranked team in Division II – Armstrong State. Anthony Jenkins hits the first of his then-school-record 16 home runs. Feb. 17 – Amid construction at a Hurricane Hugodamaged College Park, The Citadel drops its home opener to North Carolina State, 5-3. The sound of jackhammers working on dugouts and fences outside the stadium will continue for most of the regular season, causing a great deal of distraction for the Bulldogs and their opponents. The Citadel would not lose again, however, for 38 days. Feb. 18 – The Dogs’ 26-game, school-record winning streak gets underway on a cold, rainy Sunday afternoon at College Park with a 12-1 romp over North Carolina State. March 10-11 – The Citadel completes its first-ever three-game sweep of Western Carolina, defeating the five-time defending Southern Conference Champions by scores of 6-3, 7-3 and 10-3. The Bulldogs would go on to lose only one league game the entire season.
The Citadel’s Chris Coker is congratulated after scoring a run in the Southern Conference Tournament.
March 13 – The Bulldogs rally from an 8-4 deficit to edge George Mason, 9-8, and run their winning streak to 15. The Citadel collects only three hits (all singles) but takes advantage of six Patriot errors and nine walks. March 26 – With the city of Charleston already buzzing over their Bulldogs, the national press began taking notice. None other than the New York Times ran a story about the winning streak and all the obstacles the Bulldogs have had to overcome this season (focusing on the destruction caused by Hugo). March 27 – After defeating Kent State the day before, the Golden Flashes rebound to defeat The Citadel, 2-1, to snap the Dogs’ and nation’s longest winning streak at 26.
April 13 – Despite having two games against VMI rained out (the Bulldogs won the only game played in the series, 8-3), The Citadel clinched the regular season SoCon title with a three-game set against second-place Marshall still left to Members of The Citadel celebrate after play.

Atlantic Regional Champions How They Got There
“No. 5 Seed Wins Atlantic Regional” By Dan LeBatard, Miami Herald “Most people,” University of Miami pitcher Jeff Alkine said softly Tuesday afternoon, “have never even heard of The Citadel.” Most people have probably never heard of Chris Coker, Tony Skole or Brad Stowell, either. But the Crew Cut Kids from that unglamorous, unknown, underdog military school at Charleston, S.C., did the unbelievable Tuesday afternoon, winning the Atlantic Regional with a surprisingly easy 4-1 victory over top-seeded Unviersity of Miami before 2,157 startled fans at Mark Light Stadium.

Conference Tournament. The success of the tournament brought a threeyear commitment from the league’s athletic directors (the start of a 19-year run where the Holy City hosted the tournament).
April 28 – Chal Port earns his 600th career victory as the Bulldogs pick up two wins and advance to the championship game of the SoCon Tournament. April 29 – Gettys Glaze hits the first of two home runs of his career as The Citadel runs up a 6-0 lead and holds on for a 9-5 victory over Western Carolina and the Dogs’ first SoCon Tournament title. In one of the greatest sights of the 1990 season, Glaze warmed up in the Bulldog bullpen wearing his shin guards (he was catching at the time and loosened up while the Dogs were batting). Glaze, in addition to his batting heroics, picked up the save against the Catamounts. A then-SoCon Tournament record crowd of 3,186 cheers the Bulldogs on to victory.

They Said It The Citadel Head Coach Chal Port
“We might not have all the talent that the other teams might have but the whole on this team is better than the parts.” “I really think that because we’re a military school and our players are confronted with stressful situations in school as cadets, it conditions them to handle pressure better and we handled the pressure of playing Miami in Miami very well.” “Now we just have to figure out how to celebrate. We’ve got a 10-hour bus ride back to Charleston so maybe we’ll sing or something.”
May 21 – In a telephone hookup, The Citadel’s first-round opponent in the Atlantic Regional is announced to a press conference assembled at Johnson Hagood Stadium. The Bulldogs learn that they will travel to Miami, Fla., and play North Carolina State, a team they split two games with earlier in the season, in the first round of regional play. The Dogs were seeded fifth and grouped with the top seed and host school Miami, the Wolfpack, East Carolina, Stetson and South Florida in the six-team regional.
May 21 – After receiving word of their regional assignment, The Citadel finished its pre-regional tune-up with an 11-2 victory over another NCAA playoff-bound team in Clemson at College Park.

1990 College World Series
1990They College World Series How Got There
LSU 8, The Citadel 2 June 2, 1990 • College World Series Omaha, Neb. by Bob Lang of The Post and Courier
OMAHA, Neb. — The Citadel can blame Paul Byrd for spoiling its College World Series debut. Byrd, a sophomore right-hander, picked off three Citadel runners and stranded five others to lead Louisiana State to an 8-2 victory before a crowd of 7,000 at Rosenblatt Stadium and a national television audience on ESPN. …In Saturday’s game, which began under cloudy skies and ended in bright sunlight, The Citadel had 12 hits to LSU’s 14. But the score wasn’t closer because Byrd (17-5) kept getting the Tigers out of innings with Bulldogs on bases. “We were getting our hits,” Citadel coach Chal Port said, “but Byrd was capable of shutting our runners down in scoring position. We never really took control away from him.” Byrd’s biggest inning was the second, when The Citadel had a 1-0 lead and the bases loaded with one out. At that time, LSU coach Skip Bertman visited Byrd on the mound. The Citadel’s Dan McDonnell, a .203 hitter with 39 strikeouts on the season, and Gettys Glaze, a .319 hitter who doubled in the first inning and scored on a single by Billy Baker, were on deck. “I felt Paul’s stuff could overpower these batters,” Bertman said he told Byrd. Bertman was right. Byrd struck out both McDonnell and Glaze. …The inning did crush The Citadel which wasn’t the same afterward, and it gave new life to LSU. …Ken Britt, who started on the mound for The Citadel, was hoping for a similar ending in the bottom of the third with two outs. But he had no such luck, as Wes Grisham singled a 3-2 pitch to right to score Ron Lim. Then Tim Clark, a 6-4, 205-pound junior, rocketed a 2-run blast over the wall in right field to give the Tigers a 5-2 lead. Seemingly in an instant, the Bulldogs were taken out of the game.

Diary of a Dream Season
May 25 – Play finally begins in the regional and The Citadel jumps out quickly, scoring six runs in the first three innings and routing North Carolina State, 11-3. May 27 – The Citadel faces East Carolina, a team with the nation’s best winning percentage and with eight of their nine hitters batting over .300. Although the Pirates had the lead three times in the game, the Bulldogs were able to rally for an 8-5 win. May 28 – The Citadel shocks the crowd at Mark Light Field with a 6-2 win over Miami. The Citadel is the only undefeated team left in the tournament. Miami came back later that day and beat North Carolina State to set up a rematch with what Miami Herald columnist Dan LeBatard called “the cutest little team in the NCAA baseball tournament.” May 29 – “The Crew Cut Kids” – another nickname for the Bulldogs penned by the talented LeBatard, needed only one win to advance to the College World Series; Miami needed two. With the score tied 1-1 in the bottom of the sixth, Chris Coker and Tony Skole each slammed home runs and the Hurricanes were finished. The 4-1 final moved the Dogs into their first College World Series. In describing his home run over the phone to his oldest brother, Skole said that he “Cansecoed one” against the Mark Light Field scoreboard. Whatever the comparisons were to his clout, it helped keep the dream season alive. In a move of utter class, Miami head coach Ron Fraser gathered the Bulldogs together on the artificial turf and congratulated them on a great win and great season and also gave them advice on how to deal with all the pressures of Omaha. June 1 – Anthony Jenkins becomes only the second player in school history to be named First Team NCAA Division I All-America by the American Baseball Coaches Association. June 2 – The Citadel, after watching the firstround games played the day before, opens CWS play with an 8-2 loss to Louisiana State. The loss was The Citadel’s first in post-season play (after four straight wins in both the SoCon Tournament and Atlantic Regional). The Dogs face Cal State Fullerton next. June 3 – At first look a loser’s bracket game between The Citadel and the Titans did not figure to capture the imagination of a nationwide television audience on ESPN. By the time the 12-inning, three-hour, 31-minute drama had ended, it wound up being the best game of the 1990 College World Series and one of the greatest of all time. Tony Skole singled in Anthony Jenkins in the 12th inning, whose eye-popping slide and reach enabled him to just beat the throw home. That slide and sophomore reliever Hank Kraft’s final strikeout with the tying run on third to end the game allowed the Bulldogs to clinch the 8-7 win. June 5 – The dream ends after falling 6-1 to a powerful LSU team. Diary of a Dream Season was originally written by Mike Hoffman.
OMAHA, Neb. — They don’t get much crazier than this. The Citadel overcame seven errors and a 4-1 deficit to eliminate Cal State-Fullerton, 8-7, in 12 innings Monday at sun-splashed Rosenblatt Stadium and remain alive in the College World Series. “I thought that was one great game,” Citadel coach Chal Port said after the marathon contest that lasted three hours, 31 minutes. “It was not great baseball, but, my God that was exciting.” The seventh-seeded Bulldogs kept an estimated crowd of 5,000 and an ESPN audience on edge while avoiding defeat when the Titans had potential winning runs in scoring position in the bottom of the ninth and 10th innings. But Gettys Glaze and Hank Kraft came through with remarkable displays of relief pitching to defuse Fullerton’s threats. With one out, Glaze struck out 2 with runners on first and second in the 9th. Kraft struck out one and forced the other to ground out with one out and the bases loaded in the 10th. Third baseman Tony Skole, who singled in a go-ahead run in the 10th, did it again in the 12th. This time the single scored Anthony Jenkins, who made a spectacular diving slide for the winning run. Fullerton posed one final scare in the bottom of the 12th when the Titans had their best hitter, Mate’ Borgogno, at the plate with the potential tying run at second. But Kraft, in his 26th relief appearance this season, struck out Borgogno looking on three pitches. … “As the old saying goes, it’s better to be lucky than good,” Port said. “That’s certainly true for this game.” … “We had the situation we wanted,” Fullerton coach Larry Cochell said. “It just didn’t break for us. We had two or three situations we wanted. You have to credit The Citadel.” The Bulldogs seemed to be headed for elimination after six innings, trailing 4-1. But before they took the field in the seventh, Port made wholesale changes. Port replaced starting pitcher Richard Shirer with Brad Stowell, moved Chris Coker from first base to shortstop, switched Billy Baker from right field to first base and put Mike Black in right field. After Stowell walked his first batter, Port replaced him with Glaze, who had been catching. Larry Hutto replaced Glaze behind the plate. “What we did was not unusual for us,” Port said. “We won the championship game in the Southern Conference Tournament the same way. We’re limited in our personnel, and I’ve got to ride the horses that we’ve got.”

The Citadel vs. Cal St. Fullerton June 4 @ Omaha, Neb. 1990 College World Series • Game 2
They Said It
LSU Coach Skip Bertman “...We were very fortunate to tiptoe past The Citadel. They’re America’s team - touched by Abner Doubleday himself. A real field of dreams.” LSU 6, The Citadel 1 June 5, 1990 • College World Series Omaha, Neb. by Bob Lang of The Post and Courier Omaha, Neb.— The Citadel’s dream season is over. Louisiana State pitcher John O’Donoghue provided the wakeup call, holding the Bulldogs to one run on eight hits to lead the Tigers to a 6-1 victory Tuesday night in a College World Series elimination game. It was only appropriate that the largest crowd ever to watch a Citadel baseball game — 14,614 — was on hand at Rosenblatt Stadium to witness the last game of a most remarkable year for the Bulldogs, who finished with a 46-14 record. The fans gave The Citadel a standing ovation while the teams shook hands and the stadium announcer said over the speaker system, “Thank you, The Citadel, in your first trip to the College World Series. You have a fine bunch of kids. Thank you coach Chal Port.” … “We were very fortunate to tiptoe past The Citadel,” LSU coach Skip Bertman said. “They’re America’s team — touched by Abner Doubleday himself. A real field of dreams.” …(Citadel right-handed pitcher Billy) Baker had a nohitter going through four innings, but the Tigers killed that in the fifth by scoring three runs on four hits to take a 3-0 lead. …The Bulldogs had runners in scoring position with two outs in both the fifth and sixth innings, but O’Donoghue ended the threats with a pop-up and strikeout, respectively. In the seventh The Citadel started another two-out rally, which produced the team’s only run. Jason Rychlick got the rbi, blooping to left to score Chris Coker, who led off the inning with a single. The Bulldogs didn’t threaten in the eighth or ninth innings. The game ended when Tony Skole was called out on strikes. “We played as hard as we possibly could,” Port said. “I thought O’Donoghue did a magnificent job. He didn’t walk anybody and he kept us in the ballpark. When you do that, you’re going to win some games.

The Citadel Ring: Symbolizing Unity Between Graduates Traditionally received during Parents’ Weekend by first class cadets, The Citadel ring symbolizes honor and the unity between The Citadel graduates. Worn proudly by alumni of all ages, cadets look forward to the day that they will be able to wear this band of gold with pride.
Every aspect of the ring is symbolic of the history and tradition of the Corps of Cadets from the Mexican War through both World Wars, to the present day. The Citadel is a military college and the leadership, courage and integrity found in good officers is embodied by the sword, found on the left shank of the ring. Crossing the sword is the rifle, the symbol of the infantry. Of equal importance in this world of political aggrandizement and perpetual military conflict are the concepts of freedom acquired and maintained only through a willingness to fight for it, represented by the rifle surmounted by the oak leaves of toughness and victory blessed by peace, represented by the laurel wreath.
On the right shank of the ring are found the United States and South Carolina flags, which depict the unity of the state and federal government. The cannon balls at the bottom of this shank indicate the continuing link between the Old Citadel on Marion Square and the Greater Citadel. When the college moved to its present location, the Civil War cannon balls piled before the Old Citadel were left behind. The oval crest has a reproduction of the Palmetto tree in its background. Aside from representing the state tree of South Carolina, the Palmetto symbolizes a cadet-trained regiment of infantry that fought in the Mexican War and it represents a fort, built of Palmetto logs, that repelled a large British invasion fleet during the Revolutionary War. The two oval shields at the base of the tree are replicas of the state seals.

The ring has symbolized outstanding accomplishments both by the Corps of Cadets and South Carolina. Perhaps the most popular feature of the ring is the “Star of the West”, which commemorates the firing on a Union supply steamer by a detachment of Citadel cadets in January 1861. This action was the powder keg which set off the War Between the States.

Fiercely Mascots Loyal Bulldog Bulldogs: ... noted for their vigor and composed disposition... they are fiercely loyal and their grip is very powerful against resistance.
The Citadel has two live bulldog mascots, Boo IX and General, whose main duty is to provide morale for the Corps of Cadets, faculty and staff and all of the Bulldog athletic teams. Other duties include barking at opposing teams, eating numerous dog biscuits throughout the day and being pampered by the cadets that help take care of them while school is in session. General General, who was born June 18, 2003, became the first live mascot to live on The Citadel campus since the 1950s. The mascot program was created by the Class of 2003, which wanted to leave a gift to the college. The class raised $1,000 toward the program’s startup. General was donated in August 2003 by the late Hazel Groshon of James Island, S.C.

General comes from a long line of bulldog royalty. He is the nephew of Uga V, the former mascot for the University of Georgia. General’s other relatives include the bulldog representatives for the United States Marine Corps and Mississippi State University. General was named by the Corps of Cadets following a contest to find the best name.
30
Boo IX Boo IX was born on Sept. 30, 2003, and was donated by Fred Ducker, class of ‘63. He joins General as a member of the two-dog mascot team that attends special events, football games, parades and anything involving the Corps of Cadets. Boo IX is named after Lt. Col. Thomas Nugent Courvoisie, a former assistant commandant, and comes from a long line of Bulldogs that have been serving The Citadel for more than 15 years.

Honor
“A Cadet does not Lie, Cheat, or Steal, nor Tolerate those who do.”
This is Bulldog Baseball
The Honor Code is fairly simple. This code, while simple, offers the key to living and maintaining an honorable life. Cadets are trained that there is never a situation in which they should participate in, or tolerate, dishonorable activities. These core values of honor and integrity are exactly the values which allow Citadel cadets and alumni to improve their organizations and their communities.
Honor is the most cherished principle at The Citadel. In today’s post-corporate-scandal society, honor, integrity and ethics are in high demand. The Citadel strives to achieve excellence in the education of principled leaders, also known as the “whole person” concept. The Honor Code encompasses all aspects of cadet life, from academic integrity to personal integrity. It has evolved from an unwritten tradition known as the “code of the gentleman” to a formalized code in September of 1955, when the Corps of Cadets unanimously voted to establish The Honor Code. The development of a cadet into a principled leader is a four-tiered process that includes knowing, adhering, believing and leading. Its culmination is seen in the cadets who internalize the Code and the alumni who continually apply it throughout their lives.
Cadet Prayer Almighty God, the source of light and strength, we implore Thy blessing on this our beloved institution, that it may continue true to its high purposes. Guide and strengthen those upon whom rests the authority of government; enlighten with wisdom those who teach and those who learn; and grant to all of us that through sound learning and firm leadership, we may prove ourselves worthy citizens of our country, devoted to truth, given to unselfish service, loyal to every obligation of life and above all to Thee. Preserve us faithful to the ideals of The Citadel, sincere in fellowship, unswerving in duty, finding joy in purity and confidence through a steadfast faith. Grant to each one of us, in his/her own life, a humble heart, a steadfast purpose, and a joyful hope, with a readiness to endure hardship and suffer if need be, that truth may prevail among us and that Thy will may be done on earth. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Conquering Challenges Leadership
Core Values Academics: We produce graduates who have insight into the issues, ideas and values that are important to society and possess the skills necessary to deal with them successfully.
Duty: We emphasize the importance of individual accountability and the moral obligation of responsibility for the welfare of others.
Discipline: We operate a leadership laboratory which emphasizes a structured environment, acceptance of responsibility, self-confidence and service to others.
Morality: We believe that an individual’s character is of utmost importance and, therefore, we provide training which emphasizes ethical principles and core values.
Diversity: We promote diversity in all segments of our campus community and in all aspects of college life.
Honor: We adhere to a code which teaches that uncompromising personal integrity is the primary guide in all situations.
Sir, Yes, Sir • Sir, No, Sir • Sir, No Excuse, Sir “...three permissible knob answers: ‘Sir, yes, sir’ and ‘Sir, no, sir’ and—I liked this third one best of all—’Sir, no excuse, sir.’ By golly, I think, we ought to send the entire U.S. Congress down here to learn answer number three.”
Whatever their major, all cadets will graduate with a “dual degree” in leadership. They learn about attention to detail, respect, time management, and discipline.
The Honorable Ronald Reagan 40th President of the United States May 15, 1993
“Leadership is about integrity, trust and people. The Citadel, with its mission to prepare graduates to be principled leaders, is all about integrity, trust and people. There is no question in my mind that, had I not attended The Citadel to learn these values, I would not have come close to achieving what success I have been fortunate enough to achieve.” L. William Krause, ’63 Retired Chairman of 3COM Corporation

Why “What you The Tolerate,Citadel you Define.”
“The Citadel is a place of pride and tradition. A place where the standards are high, the discipline is strong and leaders are born. The men and women of this institution represent a sense of honor and accomplishment. And I am proud to be with you today.”... “in all that is to come, I know the graduates of The Citadel will bring credit to America, to the military and to this great institution. In the words of your school song, you will go where you’ve always gone... ‘in the paths our fathers showed us. Peace and Honor, God and Country -- we will fight for thee.’” The Honorable George W. Bush 43rd President of the United States
“At the center of The Citadel education, that rock that anchors it’s soul, is the honor system. I found the honor system simple and profound; majestic and life-changing: A cadet does not lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do.”
This is Bulldog Baseball
Pat Conroy, ’67 “...I read this friendly advice in the book: ‘When you receive an order, carry it out to the best of your ability. Never argue or offer suggestions which you think might be better. This is not in your best interest.’ Well, it seems to me that The Citadel has a few things to teach the Cabinet and the Executive Branch, too! In fact, maybe we should just put the whole federal government through cadet training!” The Honorable Ronald Reagan 40th President of the United States Award-winning author “Citadel graduates have become successful leaders in both the public and the private sectors, as well as having been involved in every American military conflict since the Mexican war. Thanks to its effective teaching techniques, The Citadel has earned an enviable reputation as one of the best public colleges in the United States, and there is not a better military school anywhere in this nation than The Citadel.” “What you tolerate, you define. And that is what makes this institution so unique. Regardless of class or cadet rank, The Citadel graduate more than anything else carries the reputation for integrity that is unsurpassed by any institution in his nation.” The Honorable Steve Buyer, ’80 U.S. Congressman “Without question, The Citadel experience opened a world of opportunity for me. I can think of no better preparation for the things I have done or hope to do.” Dr. Harvey W. Schiller, ’60 Former Executive Director, U.S. Olympic Committee

The2009 Citadel Baseball
The Citadel Baseball 2009 Preview Experienced Corps to Lead The Citadel Baseball in 2009 After fielding a relatively young ballclub the past two seasons, The Citadel Bulldogs are looking forward to reaping the benefits of two seasons of gaining experience. Sporting a balanced roster that has almost as many seniors as it does juniors, sophomores and freshmen, the team is hoping to get off to a strong start with a challenging 2009 schedule. Following a very productive fall practice season, The Citadel has the tools in place to field a very competitive team in 2009. The return of All-American Richard Jones behind the plate and three-time All-Southern Conference honoree Sonny Meade at the plate lead a team filled with experience. Fielding the Southern Conference’s top pitching staff in 2008, 11 pitchers return for the 2009 season as the Bulldogs look to maintain their perch atop one of the nation’s toughest offensive conferences. Seniors Wes Wrenn and Matt Crim lead a pitching staff that led the nation in pickoffs and the league in ERA last season. With three new pitchers on the staff in 2009, the Bulldogs are poised to continue to remain in the top third of the conference.
have pitched a great deal of baseball to date. Combined, the senior duo has logged over 522 innings on the mound for the Bulldogs. Wrenn, who enters the season with 289.0 innings pitched in his career, will likely set the school record for career innings pitched this season. Wrenn’s 289.0 innings pitched is seventh in career history at The Citadel and is close to Brian Wiley’s record of 316.1 innings pitched amassed from 1996-99. Wrenn has the ability to establish consistency early on as the righthander pitched a stretch of 29.1 innings early last season without allowing a walk. Meanwhile Crim has averaged six wins a year on the mound for the Bulldogs and if he continues with that average rate of success, the southpaw will finish his career around the middle of the school’s top 10 charts for career wins. Sophomore Asher Wojciechowski led the team with 78 strikeouts as a freshman last season while sophomore Matt Talley tallied nine pickoffs throughout the year. Both are expected to have solid and consistent seasons in 2009 and round out a talented rotation.
Defensively, the Bulldogs were one-thousandth of a percentage point away from finishing in the top three in the Southern Conference last season and a year of experience should lead to an even more successful season in 2009. Jones, a Freshman All-America selection in 2007, returns behind the plate along with senior Sid Fallaw. The tandem of Jones and Fallaw gives the Bulldogs the two most experienced catchers in the league.
Juniors Raymond Copenhaver and Matt Reifsnider give the Bulldogs two veteran bullpen arms to be used late in the game while Reifsnider has the ability to perform as the team’s fifth starter this season. Chris Boyce, Drew Mahaffey and Nick Sprowls have the capability to succeed in certain match-up situations. The addition of TJ Clarkson, Zach Garrett and Jeremy Long add youth and even more depth to the pitching staff.
Head coach Fred Jordan continuously preaches that successful teams build through the middle and the Bulldogs have those tools in place in 2009. In addition to the experience behind the plate, the middle infield duo of Bryan Altman and Kyle Jordan have two years of experience playing together while redshirt sophomore Matt Simonelli returns to center field after redshirting the 2008 season due to an injury.
Catching With two talented veteran backstops returning in Jones and Sid Fallaw, the Bulldogs are confident in the abilities of the men behind the plate. Jones and Fallaw combined for a .985 fielding percentage in 2008 and posted a .989 fielding percentage the year before. The Bulldog backstops ranked atop or near the top of the Southern Conference both years and are expected to do the same in 2009.
The offense has the tools to succeed if the team can keep the line-up moving. With the return of the 3-4-5-6 hitters from the 2008 lineup, the Bulldogs again have the experience to be successful. Meade, Jones and Chris McGuiness will combine to form the heart of a line-up looking to become a force in the Southern Conference. Position-by-Position The following is a position-by-position look at the 2009 Bulldogs…
Jones is expected to be in the heart of the line-up offensively every day this season while Fallaw is near the top of the depth chart for the designated hitters. Both have played a lot of baseball to this point and will see action in most, if not all, games this season. Jones split the off-season between the Cape Cod League and the Coastal Plains League, gaining valuable experience and improving offensively and defensively. That should translate into a successful 2009 season for the junior catcher.
Pitching The 2009 Bulldogs feature an experienced pitching staff that is expected to keep the team in games until the later innings. With Wrenn and Crim, The Citadel has two seniors who

any other team in the league. INFIELD The middle infield has shed its youth and with two consecutive seasons under their belt, second baseman Bryan Altman and shortstop Kyle Jordan bring good experience to a middle infield that was second in the Southern Conference in double plays last season. The Bulldogs hope that the 2009 season brings continued improvement to a middle infield whose goal is to continue to make the routine play. Both Altman and Jordan improved steadily throughout the 2008 season while combining to play in every game. Altman could see some time at short with freshman Nick Orvin or senior Johnny Dangerfield taking over the reigns at second should that happen. The experienced tandem of Altman and Jordan, combined with reliable first baseman Chris McGuiness, makes one of the better defensive infields The Citadel has fielded in the last couple of years. McGuiness is a reliable first baseman who can read infield throws and seamlessly adjusts to make plays happen.
The main question facing the Bulldog infield this season is who will step up and fill Matt Arnold’s shoes at third base. That remains one of the biggest question marks coming out of fall practice. Entering spring practice, freshman David Greene leads the race for the starting job with Johnny Dangerfield, Legare Jones and even Altman in the running. Replacing Arnold will be a challenge for whomever wins the job in preseason training as the now graduated infielder was generally a reliable and experienced defensive player. The infield’s goal is to just make the routine play in 2009 and to limit the errors. With experience at three of the four positions, the Bulldogs have the opportunity to excel defensively this season. Outfield Similar to the infield, most of the outfield returns talent and experience for the 2009 season. The coaches emphasized being fundamentally sound and not allowing the extra base in working with the outfielders during the fall season. With decent arm strength and above average speed among the outfielders, opposing hitters will be challenged to get an extra-base hit this season. Senior Sonny Meade, who has garnered AllSouthern Conference honors all three years, returns to right field and brings a powerful bat with him. Meade led the team with a .393 batting average and was second in the ranks with a .528 slugging percentage last season. Meade also led the team in hits (90) and was tied for third in extra-base hits with 16 doubles and five home runs. A true student-athlete,

The Citadel Baseball 2009 Preview Meade will be leading by example in the field and in the classroom as he sports an impressive 3.8 cumulative grade point average. Redshirt sophomore Matt Simonelli has speed and a good glove and returns to centerfield after redshirting last season after a wild pitch broke his hand. Before his injury, Simonelli was off to a great start and had developed himself into a reliable lead-off man. Simonelli had a productive fall and has worked hard to rebound from his injury. Left field could be the position that has rotation capabilities and could have some matchup opportunities. Senior Trey Thomas won the job during fall practice and it will be his to lose in the spring. Thomas spent time in left field along with senior Brian Shubsda, who will also be competing for the left field spot. Freshman Justin Mackert, a product of St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, will also be challenging for the position. Hitting The Bulldogs worked extremely hard in the offseason in addressing the inside game. The challenge for The Citadel in 2009 is to keep the line-up moving. The coaches have put emphasis on the bunting game and on the hitting and running game and are hoping that emphasis will yield results in the spring. Riley Park is not known to be a hitter-friendly park and with the majority of the games at home this season, the team’s goal is to be one of the top two or three executing teams in the league. Execution is a mainstay of the Fred Jordan coaching philosophy and if the team can execute the game plan
in certain situations, they should prove to be successful. The coaching staff believes the 2009 team has good offensive experience in the line-up. The coaches were disappointed in the 2008 squad offensively, but it was not because of effort. Fred Jordan and the rest of the coaching staff believe that the team will be a better offensive club this year than they were last year. Schedule Once again, a rugged slate awaits the Bulldogs this spring. The 2009 slate features a very demanding schedule with great competition. The team is fortunate to have a few more home games this season both from an economical standpoint and from a fan support standpoint. An early season tournament featuring Marshall, Radford and Tennessee Tech, along with a four-game series hosting Air Force, highlights the 2009 home schedule. Success breeds confidence and confidence is something that must be achieved early on to be successful. The first nine games leading up to the conference-opening weekend series against Elon are important to establish confidence and relaxed aggression. With the non-conference schedule being as demanding as always, the development of some depth in the team’s pitching staff should pay dividends down the stretch.
league and tournament champion Elon returning to “The Joe” for the first time after advancing to the NCAA Regionals last season. The addition of Samford has created scheduling challenges for all teams in the conference this season and the Bulldogs will be faced with back-to-back road conference series. The Citadel will face that challenge early on, traveling to Appalachian State and Western Carolina in consecutive weekends the fourth and fifth weeks of the season. It will be important for the team to be able to handle those road weekends in such a deep league as the Southern Conference. There is no longer an opportunity of having a weekend that is not like a championship series. Amplify that with having to be on the road for consecutive weekends and you have the makings of a very, very difficult schedule. This year’s Southern Conference Tournament departs from Charleston for the first time in 20 years and will be held in Greenville, S.C. at West End Field. An added challenge is the return to the limitation of eight teams into the tournament and the elimination of the play-in day.
The Southern Conference, as always, is the number one mid-major conference in the country by far. The Bulldogs open the league slate the third weekend of the season with 2008

The Citadel Coaches and Staff Baseball lowest in the country and earned him Southern Conference Pitcher of the Year honors. Joining Corn in the category of pitching dominance was junior reliever Matt Hamer, who compiled a 9-2 record to earn second-team All-SoCon honors. When remarking about the 2002 team it is impossible to forget 13th-round draft pick T.A. Fulmer and team batting leader David Griffin. Fulmer, who threw the fifth no hitter in school history, became the 17th Bulldog selected since Jordan took over. Griffin, perhaps the epitome of Jordan’s style, went on to play minor league baseball, carrying on, along with Fulmer, the Bulldog tradition of graduating players to the professional ranks. The 2001 team featured three All-Americans, four first-team All-Southern Conference performers and the Southern Conference’s Pitcher and Player of the Year. The Bulldogs’ earned run average ranked in the top-25 nationally and were led by Corn, who compiled an 8-3 record and 12 saves to earn second-team All-America honors.

The dynamic pair capped off a great season by getting drafted on the first day of Major League Baseball Amateur draft. Ellis went in the sixth round to San Diego, while Cannon was picked by Toronto in the eighth round.
The 2003 club finished 19-11 in the Southern Conference and had four players named to the 2003 All-Southern Conference squad; Chris Ard and Chip Cannon were honored as members of the firstteam and Brook Dantzler and Matt Hamer, who finished his career second on the all-time appearances list with 108, were listed on the second-team. Freshman centerfielder Trent Weathers, who played in all 57 of the Bulldogs’ games, was honored by the Southern Conference Media Association as the Freshman of the Year.
In typical Jordan fashion, the 2000 team was not without strong pitching. Senior right-hander Ron Colvard posted 11 wins, which stands as the second highest total in school history. Along with Colvard, senior closer Jay Morgan posted 10 saves, which was the highest total since 1995 when Donald Morillo posted 13 saves for Jordan’s second Southern Conference championship team.
With national powers Miami, North Carolina State, Florida State and South Carolina on the slate in 2003, Fred Jordan led his ball club to victories over the Hurricanes, Wolfpack and Gamecocks.

In 1999, Jordan’s team posted a career best 41 victories en route to the regular season crown and the Southern Conference Tournament championship. The Bulldogs participated in the NCAA Regional in Tallahassee, Fla., and Jordan was named the Southern Conference’s Coach of the Year for the second time in his career.
The 2002 team featured one All-American, two All-Southern Conference performers and the Southern Conference’s Pitcher and Male Athlete of the Year. The 2002 team was no different than any other Jordan coached club, as they were one of the best pitching teams in the country. The Bulldogs’ earned run average ranked in the top25 nationally and right-handed pitcher Randy Corn proved to be the workhorse of the Bulldogs’ staff as he saved 13 games, tying a then school record. Corn’s 1.37 ERA was good enough for second
In 1998, The Citadel won 37 games, marking the fourth-highest single-season victory total in school history, and won the Southern Conference Tournament crown by outscoring its four opponents by a combined score of 37-3.

His 1980 and ‘81 Fort Johnson teams were AAA District runners-up. In 12 years as a high school head coach, Jordan led each of his teams to a state playoff appearance and all 12 squads finished no worse than second place in their conference. His 1988 Stratford team racked up 20 wins in a row en route to a No. 28 ranking by Collegiate Baseball. His 1989 squad started the season ranked 20th by USA Today and was ranked between 20th and 25th the entire season.

Beckley David
David Beckley enters his eighth season with the Bulldogs as an assistant coach and his third as the recruiting coordinator. Beckley will continue to work with the infielders and base runners for the 2009 season. Under Beckley, the Bulldogs have flourished defensively. Head coach Fred Jordan has always preached that good pitching and solid defense wins championships, and Beckley firmly believes in that system. After setting the school’s fielding percentage record at .968 in 2003, all the 2004 club did was smash it with a .974 fielding percentage. Beckley’s defense only committed 69 errors in 2,633 chances and tallied a record-breaking 762 assists, surpassing the previous mark of 715 set in 1994. The solid defense continued in 2008 with a .965 fielding percentage. With such a solid defense behind them, Jordan can allow his pitchers to pitch without any fear of being let down by a defender.
Assistant Coach Eighth Season The Citadel, ’96 What You Need to Know
David Beckley is one of the longest-tenured assistant coaches at The Citadel and in the Southern Conference. David Beckley has had four players go on to play professional baseball in the past five years. David Beckley finished his career as the top base stealer in Southern Conference history. history, the James Island native finished his career as the top base stealer in Southern Conference history as he eclipsed the century mark and finished with 104 stolen bases.
In 2006, Matt Matulia was drafted by the Chicago Cubs and was a solid defender at shortstop as a four-year starter. Matulia also made an assault on many Citadel records during his career as a Bulldog.
A 1996 graduate of The Military College of South Carolina, Beckley previously served as the head baseball coach at Berkeley High School and had stints as an assistant coach at both Barnwell and James Island high schools.
Three other Bulldog infielders have reached the professional ranks under Beckley’s tutelage. Second baseman Jon Aughey signed as a free agent with the Kansas City Royals in 2005 and first baseman Chip Cannon was drafted in the eighth round by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2004 after receiving All-Southern Conference accolades. Cannon was also named to the Louisiville Slugger/TPX All-America Team in his final season as a Bulldog. Shortstop David Griffin played with the Evansville Otters of the independent Frontier League in 2002 and 2003.
Beckley was a member of the 1994 and 1995 Southern Conference Championship teams and brings continuity and dedication to the program. Beckley finished second on the team in batting average his senior season as he batted .335 and led the team with 37 stolen bases, 65 runs scored and five triples to lead the Bulldogs to their second consecutive Southern Conference title. He was tabbed to the South Carolina Collegiate All-State team in 1994 and 1996, while being named The Citadel’s team MVP in 1996.
Beckley’s other task is to put pressure on opposing pitchers and defenses by coaching the Bulldogs base runners. A solid base stealer himself, Beckley swiped 103 bags in four seasons as a Bulldog. He has taken his approach to base running and instilled it into the current Citadel base runners. His guidance is beginning to pay dividends as several current Bulldogs are quickly becoming threats on the base paths. Jon Aughey was one swipe shy of the career top-10 list in stolen bases as he recorded 65 over the four years he played for the Bulldogs. Chris Ard swiped a season-high 29 bases in 2005, giving him a career total of 54.
A 1992 graduate of Stratford High School, Beckley earned two letters in football and four letters in baseball. During his senior season, he played in the North-South baseball game and the Shrine Bowl for football. For his efforts the High School Sports Report named him the Lowcountry Co-Player of the Year along with former Bulldog pitcher Brian Callahan (1993-96). Beckley is married to the former Lauren Garmon of James Island. The couple has one daughter, Payton (6), and a son, Tanner (3).
Aughey and Ard are not the only players to benefit from Beckley’s knowledge. Trent Weathers was a huge base stealing threat to any club in the conference as he totaled 50 stolen bases in 68 attempts over the four years he spent at The Citadel. Beckley played a pivotal part in the development of the 2003 Southern Conference Freshman of the Year, Weathers. Weathers not only played in every game for the Bulldogs in 2003 and hit over .300, but Beckley helped hone the fleet-footed Weathers into one of the nation’s leading base stealing threats. Weathers broke The Citadel’s freshman stolen base mark with 25 steals in only 30 attempts. Beckley is no stranger to The Citadel as he was a four-year letterwinner under coach Fred Jordan.

Media Guide
The Southern Conference, which began its 88th season of intercollegiate competition in 2008, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984) and becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and alldistrict teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. Membership History On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular sea-
son and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included including Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

After 19 successful seasons in Charleston, S.C., the Southern Conference Baseball Championship moves to Greenville, S.C., in 2009. The tournament will be held at Fluor Field at the West End in downtown Greenville and will be hosted by the Greenville Drive, the Class A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. The top eight teams in the SoCon regular season standings will qualify for the event, which features a modified double-elimination bracket designed to produce a one-game, single-elimination championship final. The tournament championship game will be televised live throughout the Southeast on SportSouth at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 24. First opened in April 2006, the 5,700-seat stadium was named as the 2006 Ballpark of the Year by Ballparks.com, earning the nod over a group of stadiums that included St. Louis’s Busch Stadium and Medlar Field at Lubrano Park in State College, Pa. Modeled after Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, Fluor Field at the West End boasts its own “Green Monster,” a 30-foot high wall in left field, equipped with a manual scoreboard. The dimensions all around the outfield wall are to the same specifications as Fenway Park, including “Pesky’s Pole” in right field. The single-game tournament attendance record of 5,419 was set in 2003 for an opening round game between The Citadel and the College of Charleston. The all-tournament attendance record was set in 2004 when more than 35,000 fans attended Riley Park, an average of 2,343 per game. In 2008, Elon became the seventh different team in the past seven seasons to win the SoCon Tournament, defeating College of Charleston in the championship game and earning its first title. Following a one-year stop in Greenville, the tournament will return to Charleston’s Joe Riley Park for the 2010 event. The tournament’s winner secures the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.

The Baseball 2008 inCitadel review Chris Swauger Selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 26th Round of the MLB Draft Chris Swauger was chosen in the 26th round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on June 6 as the 2008 graduate of The Citadel was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals. Swauger became the fifth player in the past four years to be drafted from The Citadel. Swauger was picked by the Cardinals with the 785th pick overall. Since 1979, Swauger becomes the sixth player in school history to be drafted by the Cardinals organization. St. Louis has drafted more players from The Citadel than any other MLB organization with Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Florida, Oakland and San Diego all tied for second with two Bulldog players drafted. Swauger Records 300th career hit Chris Swauger became only the second player in school history and only the seventh in Southern Conference history to record 300 career hits when he laced a leadoff double in the first inning at No. 15 Coastal Carolina on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 in Conway. Swauger finished his career second only to Philip Hartig’s 360 career hits at The Citadel, a mark that is also the conference record. Not So Fast, My Friend! Opponents beware on the base paths - The Citadel held the national and Southern Confernece lead in pickoffs with 28. Western Carolina was close behind with 24 pickoffs while Campbell was tied with the Catamounts. The top five schools in pickoffs nationally last season all reside in the Carolinas. Pickoff Leaders 1.

March 29 - Wes Wrenn’s streak of 29.2 innings pitched, which began on Feb. 24 against Delaware, comes to a close in the first inning. March 30 - The Citadel defeats Appalachian State, 9-6, as Bulldogs head coach Fred Jordan records his 800th career victory as a head coach on any level. April 1 - The Citadel hosts No. 6 South Carolina at Riley Park in front of 4,895 fans, the eighth largest crowd to watch the Bulldogs play at home. April 12 - Wes Wrenn throws 6.1 innings of no-hit ball in a 7.0-inning performance against Davidson, allowing only one run and striking out four. That performance earned him SoCon Pitcher of the Week accolades on April 14, becoming the third Bulldog to earn the honor in 2008. April 15 - Freshman Drew Mahaffey enters late in the game at No. 29 UNC Wilmington and strikes out all five batters he faces. That starts a streak of 12 straight batters Mahaffey will retire. April 17 - The Citadel gets a distinguished guest at their practice at College Park as actor Kevin Costner spoke to the team and hit batting practice, driving two balls off the outfield wall. Costner hit both right and left handed. April 30 - Chris Swauger becomes only the second player in school history to record 300 career hits, lacing a double in the first inning at No. 15 Coastal Carolina. May 3 - Matt Arnold, Conrad Kellahan, Timmy Martin and Chris Swauger all join “The Long Gray Line” as they participate in commencement exercises at McAlister Field House.

May 17 - The Citadel closes out the regular season with a series sweep over Presbyterian, guaranteeing the Bulldogs will finish .500 or better for the 13th time in 14 seasons. May 19 - Sonny Meade and Chris Swauger are named All-Southern Conference by the coaches and media. May 20 - The Citadel falls in the opening round game of the SoCon Tournament to Wofford, 8-4, in a stop-and-go affair that spanned more than five and a half hours due to inclement weather in Charleston. Time of game lasted only 2:45 but two separate lightning delays forced a game that started at 5:44 p.m. to not end until after 11 p.m. May 27 - Trey Thomas is awarded the Coleman Lew Leadership Award, one of 21 Southern Conference student-athletes to be honored. May 27 - Chris Swauger is named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America Second Team. June 6 - Chris Swauger is selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 26th round of the Major League Baseball Amateur draft.
