Head Coach Corey Kemp As a player, Kemp began his outstanding pitching career at Cherry High School where he led his team to the Class A State Championship in 1997. He completed his high school pitching career with a 21-4 record over three seasons of varsity baseball, including a 10-0 mark his senior year.

Corey Kemp Head Coach 6th Season

This winning tradition continued with the Saints as Kemp became one of the greatest and most dedicated players in CSS baseball history. Corey Kemp enters his sixth season as the head coach of the St. Scholastica baseball team in 2015. In his first five seasons, Kemp has guided the Saints to five straight UMAC regular season and tournament championships and five NCAA Regional Tournament appearances. In three of the last four NCAA appearances the Saints have been within two wins of a regional championship. In his first season, the team broke a program record with 24 consecutive wins and finished with 38 wins overall on the year, the third-most in program history and the most as an NCAA affiliate. In 2012, his team led all NCAA Divisions in runs per game (9.3) and made its second NCAA regional championship game appearance in program history. The Saints finished unbeaten in league play for the first time since 2006 and won their first two games at a NCAA regional for the first time in program history on their way to a third place finish. During the 2014 season, the Saints led all of NCAA Division III with 138 stolen bases He has coached three UMAC Players of the Year and two UMAC Pitchers of the Year. Kemp was named the UMAC Coach of the Year in 2010 and 2011. Kemp earned his 100th coaching victory in 2012, becoming the fastest to reach 100 wins by any coach in CSS Athletics history. Kemp had served as one of the Saints’ top assistant coaches and pitching coach for the previous eight years under the late John Baggs. In his eight seasons as an assistant coach, Kemp has developed one of the top pitching staffs in all of Division III baseball. His Saints hurlers led the nation in ERA in both 2005 and 2006. In 2009, Kemp’s pitchers finished fifth in ERA in the country and third in winning percentage. In his eight seasons as a pitching coach, six of Kemp’s pitchers have gone on to sign professional contracts, including Brett Nyquist who was taken in the 13th round of the 2002 MLB draft by the Montreal Expos and Adian Kummet who was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the June 2009 draft.

In the UMAC Tournament his junior season, Kemp surpassed Ben Sickler (20 wins) to become the Saints all-time winningest pitcher and finished his career with 29 wins, still tops in Saints history. Kemp is also the career leader in innings pitched (233) and strikeouts (258). His 2.15 career ERA was also the program’s best upon Kemp’s graduation in 2001. Kemp’s abilities didn’t go unnoticed, as he was named UMAC Pitcher of the Year in 2000 and an AllAmerican following his senior season. He also played professionally briefly in 2001 before becoming a coach at St. Scholastica. Kemp was inducted into the St. Scholastica Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002. “As the head coach of St. Scholastica Baseball it is my responsibility to continue the success this program has had on and off the field. We will continue to develop student-athletes into talented baseball players, excellent students, and first-class people in the community,” Kemp said. “I want to give each player the experience that Coach Baggs gave me and all the players who played for him. Many of the lessons that he taught me will continue to be shared with future Saints baseball players. As I enter into my first season as a head coach, I understand the value of being surrounded by loyal and knowledgeable assistant coaches. I am proud to say that I have exceptional assistants who have the same love for Saints baseball that I do, and together we will continue to build this program into one of the best in the country.”

Assistant Coaches Tim Anderson

Justin Harriman

Assistant Coach 22nd Season

Assistant Coach 11th Season

Tim Anderson, a Two Harbors, Minnesota native enters his 22nd year as an assistant at St. Scholastica in 2015. TA graduated from St. Scholastica, Summa cum Laude in 1992, earning academic All-America honors his senior season. He scored the winning run in the bottom of the 9th inning of St. Scholastica’s 9-8 victory over Winona State in the 1992 NAIA playoffs. He was an honorable mention All-Region pitcher for the Saints in 1992 and also started at second base. He earned four varsity letters at CSS after collecting four baseball letters at Two Harbors High School. After completing his playing career under the legendary coaching of John Baggs in ’92, Anderson joined Baggs’ coaching staff as a graduate assistant coach the following season. He became the top assistant in ’94 and quickly became one of the region’s most respected baseball coaches. His great contributions to Saints Baseball as a player and coach earned “TA” induction into the St. Scholastica Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. Anderson’s coaching duties include hitting instruction, video tape analysis, outfield play, offensive approach and recruiting. TA has coached well over 100 allconference and all-region hitters during his coaching career at CSS. In 2009, Anderson’s hitters led the nation in walks, while placing second in doubles and doubles per game. The Saints were also in the top-25 nationally for runs, scoring and batting average. Coach Anderson is described by his players as a “highly knowledgeable, hands-on coach.”

Justin Harriman, an International Falls, Minnesota native is in his 11th year as an assistant at St. Scholastica in 2015. Justin, a former power-hitting catcher for the Saints, was the first player in the program’s history to be selected as a first-team AllAmerican following his senior season in 2000. Justin ranks in the top five of four different offensive categories at St. Scholastica; his 178 RBIs rank first, 243 hits and 56 doubles rank second, and his 23 home runs rank third. He also holds the team’s record for longest hitting streak, recording a hit in 42 consecutive contests through his junior and senior seasons. Just as notable as his offensive prowess, Justin is also regarded as the program’s top defensive catcher. He was inducted into the St. Scholastica Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001. Following his graduation in 2000, Justin spent one year as an assistant coach before leaving Duluth. He returned to the area and the coaching staff in 2006. His primary duties include working with both catchers and hitters. “This program is about so much more than baseball and the success we’ve achieved on the field,” Harriman said. “When I think of the life-long friendships our players, coaches and our baseball alumni have with each other, it is clear that what we are doing is very unique and special.”

“While helping this program grow to such a successful level has been satisfying for me, our program is much more than just winning,” Anderson said. “Teaching our players how to be successful and responsible on and off the field and watching them grow into quality individuals that we can be proud of is the best part. I consider all of the players and alumni to be friends, and I’m proud to be affiliated with them and the baseball program at Scholastica.”

Assistant Coach 9th Season

Brandon Swartz

Assistant Coach 3rd Season

Tom Berrisford enters his ninth season as an assistant coach for the Saints in 2015. A 1998 Duluth East graduate, “TB” led the Greyhounds to the state tournament his senior year. He was selected to the St. Paul Pioneer Press All-State Team and was also chosen as the Duluth News Tribune Player of the Year.

Former Saint Brandon Swartz enters his third season on the baseball coaching staff in 2015. The Hermantown, Minn. native was a three-sport star in high school and led his high school baseball team to the state tournament for three straight seasons. He also was named to the Lion’s All-Star Team which recognizes the best senior baseball players in the state of Minnesota.

While starting at third base his freshman season, TB helped the Saints advance to the Midwest Regional of the Division III National Tournament. He earned the team’s Rookie of the Year honors following the conclusion of the 1999 season.

“I look forward to helping lead our program to a World Series and am honored to be part of a program with such a strong tradition,” said Swartz. “The quality of our athletes as students and community members is something we all take great pride in. The foundation of our success is the relationships we build, relationships that extend beyond the four years our players wear a Saints uniform.”

TB was a captain for the Saints during his senior season of 2002. He helped lead the Saints to a then-record 145 wins during his four years at St. Scholastica and was named Academic All-American twice. In 2010, Berrisford was inducted as the 21st member into the CSS Baseball Hall of Fame. Tom’s coaching responsibilities include working with the Saints infielders and defensive positioning during games. “Each season brings a new level of excitement for me and for our baseball family,” Berrisford said. “Not only do we have a chance to compete for a national championship year after year, but we continue to develop great players, great people and great relationships every time our team is together.”

Brandon began his career as a player for CSS in 2004 and was named the team’s rookie of the year that season after appearing in 40 games. Brandon continued to be a contributor every year in the Saints lineup and would appear in 159 games over his fouryear career. His best season was his junior year when he hit .395 and earned All Midwest Region honors. He followed up his junior campaign with an even more impressive senior year by hitting .420 and once again begin named to the All-Midwest Region Team. Over his career Swartz collected 151 hits, scored 125 runs and drove in 120, while finishing with a .354 career batting average. He was named all conference all four years as a Saint and also helped lead his team to four National Tournaments. Brandon serves as the team’s base running coach and will also be responsible for coaching infielders and hitters. “Adding Brandon to our coaching staff has already had an immediate and positive impact on our program after only four weeks of our fall season, said Kemp. “He shares the same passion for Saints Baseball as our entire coaching staff and it is very clear to me that he will continue to provide us with new insight and ideas that will help make us a better baseball program. We are lucky to have an intelligent and dedicated coach like Brandon Swartz join our experienced coaching staff.”

Upper Midwest Athletic Conference The Jerome Kruse Memorial Award was created in honor of Mr. Jerome Kruse, the longtime athletic director of Northwestern (Wis.) College and later Martin Luther College. Mr. Kruse’s life ended early, and the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) created the award to honor his dedication to the conference and its student-athletes. The annual award travels to the college that earns the most points, accumulated by the place-finishes of the college’s athletic teams in the final standings of the 17 conference-sponsored sports.

-2+1 %$**6 From 1992-2009 John Baggs was the most successful coach in St. Scholastica history. Baggs turned the Saints baseball program into a national powerhouse, all the while stressing the importance of being a great teammate, student and person before being a great player. Baggs developed a culture of family within the CSS baseball program, based on caring and support. He was always there for his players during the time in a Saints’ uniform and after their playing days had ended. Baggs passed away Feb. 24th, 2009, just one game into the 2009 season. While the Saints retired Baggs’ #33 jersey May 2nd, 2009, his spirit is with them every time they are together. • 567-204 • .735 winning percentage • 21 All-Americans • 14 players signing professional contracts • 12-time Louisville Slugger Coach of the Year awards • 13 Upper Midwest Athletic Conference championships • 10-time UMAC Coach of the Year

NCAA/NAIA Tournament History 2014 NCAA Regional

Moline, Ill. For the first time in program history the Saints were not playing a NCAA Division III Regional game in the State of Wisconsin as in a surprise shakeup, the Saints were sent to the Central Regional, along with the University of St. Thomas, in Moline, Illinois, hosted by Augustana College. The region featured top-ranked Webster University (Mo.), who the Saints fell to in extra innings during the regular season as well as Buena Vista University, who the Saints would open with. Game 1: DePauw 2, Webster 1 Game 2: St. Thomas 4, Rose-Hulman 2 Game 3: Buena Vista 7, St. Scholastica 1 - In a rematch of the regular season contest in which the Beavers defeated the Saints 3-2, Buena Vista pounded out 15 hits to defeat CSS. The opening game loss for the Saints was the first since the 2011 regional. The Saints offense was held in check as it recorded only four hits in the loss. Austin Colvard recorded two of those hits. The setback also snapped a 20-game winning streak for CSS. Game 4: Rose-Hulman 3, Webster 2 (F/11) - eliminated Game 5: DePauw 6, St. Scholastica 5 - After taking an early lead, the Saints fell behind 4-1 after four innings and trailed for much of the game until they battled back to tie the game in the eighth. However, the Tigers would get a bases loaded walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to end CSS’s season. Freshman Brian Minks had a big game for the Saints, going 3-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs scored. Game 6: St. Thomas 11, Buena Vista 5 Game 7: St. Thomas 14, DePauw 8 Game 8: Rose-Hulman 4, Buena Vista 3 - eliminated Game 9: Rose-Hulman 1, DePauw 0 - eliminated Game 10: St. Thomas 9, Rose-Hulman 4 - eliminated

went eight innings, scattering five hits and allowing just one earned run. Game 8: Case Western Reserve 7, St. Thomas 3 - eliminated Game 9: UW-Stevens Point 8, St. Scholastica 2 - eliminated - For the third straight year the Saints’ season would end two games shy of a regional championship. The 16th-ranked Pointers were the lone unbeaten team left in the regional after their first two games in extra innings. Freshman hurler Jordan Risse kept the Pointers in check early as the score was just 2-1 UWSP entering the bottom of the seventh. UWSP then added three in the inning and three more in the eighth to make the final 8-2. Kyle Flagstad scored and had a RBI in the loss. Flagstad and Kyle Jensen were both named to the Whitewater Regional All-Tournament team. Game 10: UW-Stevens Point 1, Case Western Reserve 0 - eliminated UW-Stevens Point advances to the NCAA Div.-III World Series.

St. Thomas advances to the NCAA Div.-III World Series.

NCAA/NAIA Tournament History 2007 NCAA Regional

Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. Traditionally regarded as the strongest Regional Tournament in the NCAA Div.III National Baseball Tournament, the 2007 NCAA Regional became a bit of a one-man show in UW-Stevens Point’s Jordan Zimmermann. The Pointers rode Zimmermann’s arm and bat to the World Series, despite being hit hardest by the St. Scholastica Saints. Zimmermann went on to be selected in the second round of the MLB Draft in July. Game 1: UW-Stevens Point 11, St. Scholastica 3 - For the third consecutive season, the Pointers and Saints locked horns in the opening contest of the NCAA Midwest Regional Tournament. The Saints defeated the Pointers and Jordan Zimmermann 4-3 in 2006, but UWSP had downed CSS 7-6 early in the 2007 regular season. The Pointers plated single runs in each of the first three innings against Saints senior starter Mark Moriarty. Moriarty worked five strong innings with seven strikeouts. CSS touched up Zimmermann and tied the game with a solo homerun by Kyle Wojtysiak in the third inning and a two-run blast by Mike Lewis in the fourth. The game remained knotted at 3-3 until the bottom of the seventh, when the Saints’ defense uncharacteristically collapsed. Eight unearned runs in two frames pushed the Pointers to the victory and only two of UWSP’s 11 runs were earned. Game 2: St. Thomas 5, UW-Oshkosh 1 Game 3: Ripon 4, St. Olaf 1 Game 4: UW-Oshkosh 11, St. Scholastica 5 - eliminated - The Titans took advantage of the long ball and the short fences of Witter Field with a pair of two-run homers in the early innings. The Saints, trailing 6-0 and held to one hit through four innings, scored three runs but left the bases loaded in the fifth inning.

Game 5: St. Olaf 7, UW-Stevens Point 3 Game 6: St. Thomas 9, Ripon 3 Game 7: UW-Stevens Point 11, Ripon 10 - eliminated Game 8: UW-Oshkosh 5, St. Olaf 4 - eliminated Game 9: UW-Stevens Point 6, St. Thomas 3 Game 10: UW-Oshkosh 5, St. Thomas 4, (11) - eliminated Game 11: UW-Stevens Point 6 – UW-Oshkosh 0 UW-Stevens Point earns berth in the NCAA III World Series

2006 NCAA Regional

Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. In arguably the strongest Regional in the 2006 NCAA National Baseball Tournament, the Saints edged the hottest team entering the tournament (UW-Stevens Point) before dropping their next two contests.

Game 1: St. Scholastica 4, UW-Stevens Point 3 - For the second consecutive year, St. Scholastica defeated UW-Stevens Point in the first round of the NCAA Div.-III tournament as the Saints edged the Pointers 4-3.

After spotting the Pointers a run in the opening frame, St. Scholastica tied the score in the bottom of the first inning when Chad Weiss led off with his third home run of the season. Offense was hard to come by, as Saints starter Mark Moriarty matched Zimmerman pitchfor-pitch for over six innings. Kyle Wojtysiak gave the Saints the lead for good with a two-run single in the bottom of the fifth inning. Moriarty, who allowed two earned runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts was relieved by freshman closer Adian Kummet, who earned his third save of the season. Game 2: St. Olaf 17, Dominican 8 Game 3: Coe 5, St. Thomas 4 (10) Game 4: Ripon 14, St. Scholastica 8 - Thirteen hours after downing the Pointers in a game featuring great pitching and little offense, the Saints fell in a shootout against Ripon.

two runs in the top of the first, but the Red Hawks answered with four runs of their own in the bottom of the inning. A Brandon Swartz RBI in the top of the second trimmed the lead to 4-3 and took a 6-4 lead in the fourth, but Ripon notched three runs to take the lead in the bottom of the frame.

2005 NCAA Regional

Whitewater, Wis.

Game 1: UW-Whitewater 7, St. Thomas 4 Game 2: St. Scholastica 5, UW-Stevens Point 3 - St. Scholastica senior pitcher Jake Eiler had a stellar outing against top-seeded Stevens Point, earning a complete-game win after surrendering three runs on seven hits while collecting 11 strikeouts without a walk. Sophomore Brandon Swartz’s three-run home run in the top of the 2nd put the Saints ahead 3-1. Tied 3-3 enterting the top of the 6th, back-to-back two-out singles put the Saints ahead as Kenny Kolqusit batted in Mike Lewis. Tom Simonson scored an insurance run after a D.J.

NCAA/NAIA Tournament History 2000 NAIA Regional/Super Regional

Sioux City, Iowa. Following a record-setting regular season, the Saints breezed through the UMAC Tournament to earn a berth in the NAIA Region 3 Tournament held in Sioux City, Iowa. The Saints wasted no time showing why they were on a 20-game winning streak by winning the first two contests of the tournament by a combined score of 22-2. CSS topped Sioux Falls University 13-1 behind a complete-game performance from Joe Wicklund. Wicklund allowed only four hits while striking out seven and walking none. Josh Lamppa led the Saints past Huron University 9-1, tossing a seven-hitter with five strikeouts. Chris LePine had six hits and six runs in the two games and Leland Swenson knocked in six runs. The Saints then sent ace pitcher Corey Kemp to face perennial power Mayville State (N.D.) University. Kemp battled, allowing four earned runs while striking out seven in 7 1/3 innings. The Saints scored three runs in the bottom of the second to break a 1-1 tie, including a solo homer by Nick Bjerken. CSS scored four more runs in the fifth inning, three coming on a triple by Greg Young. Young finished the day 4-for-5 with three RBIs. Freshman Brett Nyquist finished off the 12-6 victory with 1 1/3 innings of perfect relief. “The thing that was nice to see against Mayville State was that our younger guys played so well,” Saints coach John Baggs said after the game. “We expect our seniors to be playing well, they’re at the end of their careers. But the younger kids have been outstanding; we had two sophomores and two freshmen who were 11-for-19.” Riding a school-record 23-game winning streak, the Saints faced No. 2 seed and tournament host Briar Cliff University. The Saints fell behind 9-0 early and were never able to regroup as the Chargers’ bats never cooled off in an 18-11 victory. Staring season-ending elimination in the face, the Saints did the obvious … they switched uniforms, to their favorite gold with pinstripes; a uniform combination they’d never lost in. The new-look Saints took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a single by Young, a triple by Swenson and a sacrifice fly by Derek Bilben. CSS scored four more in the fourth, highlighted by Bilben’s homer, to extend their lead to 10-3. St. Scholastica never looked back, winning 15-9. Bilben finished the day with four hits, a school-record eight RBIs and a prolific homerun. Freshman left-hander Nick Bjerken started and Nyquist pitched five innings of relief to get the win, allowing eight hits and three runs. Sophomore Dan Birkholz went the last two innings to earn the save. Following the regional championship, the Saints hosted former national champion Bellevue (Neb.) University in the Super Regional at Wade Stadium in a best-of-three series. 1,420 fans were on hand to see the opening game, one of the most memorable in St. Scholastica athletics history. Bellevue built a four-run lead, scoring two runs in the second on catcher Kevin Bratetic’s two-run homer and two more in the sixth on designated hitter Nate Lueder’s two-run double. The Bruins made it 7-3 when Saints’ relievers Josh Lamppa and Nyquist struggled, walking in two of three runs in relief of starter Wicklund. The Saints battled back with five runs in the top of the eighth inning to take an 8-7 lead. The Bruins tied the score with a run in their half of the eighth, and a scoreless ninth In the tenth, following a Bilben triple, Justin Harriman ripped an RBI single

to plate the Saints’ ninth run. Bjerken then slashed a triple down the rightfield line to knock in three more runs. The Saints added another run to push the lead to 13-8. CSS again gave the ball to Birkholz and he delivered, slamming the door on the Bruins in the bottom of the inning. Birkholz worked 2 1/3 innings to pick up the win, strking out four of the seven batters he faced. The tournament-tested Bruins toppled the Saints in the second game by a 14-7 score, forcing a third and deciding contest. With a record-breaking 1,630 fans on hand, the Saints took on the Bruins for the fifth time in the 2000 season. CSS fell behind 4-0 in the second inning, but ignited the crowd with a four-run rally in the top of the third. Swenson, Harriman, junior Joey Wood and Bjerken each hit RBI singles. But it was all the Saints could muster against Bellevue, as the Bruins posted two more runs in the third and six runs in the fifth. The 13-4 victory sent Bellevue (49-26) to their fourth-straight NAIA World Series and ended the Saints season at 41-11. “I don’t know what is harder; seeing the seniors lose this game after all the hard work they’ve put in over the last four years, or knowing that next year I won’t have Justin Harriman catching,” Baggs said to reporters following the game. “And I won’t have Leland Swenson starting at shortstop or Chris LePine in centerfield – or Joe Wicklund or Josh Lamppa in the pitching rotation. That’s what’s going to be tough. I’ll miss these seniors like no other class.”

1999 NCAA Regional

Oshkosh, Wis. The 1999 NCAA National Baseball Tournament began with eight regional tournaments, and by Friday, May 21, only 24 teams in the country remained.

In fact, all but one of the games in the Midwest were decided by one run, making it one of the most exciting regional tournaments in recent history. Game 1: UW-Oshkosh 6, St. Scholastica 5 (11) - The Saints, who entered the tournament with a record of 34-10, had the toughest draw in the country. The Titans, ranked No. 1 in the country with a record of 33-2, enjoyed home field advantage as the host school. UW-Oshkosh jumped to a 5-0 lead, but St. Scholastica cut the lead to 5-4 behind a two-run homer by Jeff Lahti in the 8th inning. The Saints’ Derek Bilben blasted his 25th career homer in the top of the 9th to tie the game at 5. In the bottom of the 11th, Titan AllAmerican catcher Casey Kopitzke singled over a drawn-in outfield to give Kevin Grater the victory. Grater pitched all 11 innings to raise his career record to 22-2. The Saints’ Dave Schlangen matched Grater for 10 innings, but saw his record fall to 9-3. Game 2: St. Thomas 6, UW-Stevens Point 0 Game 3: St. Scholastica 4, UW-Stevens Point 3 (10) - eliminated - St. Scholastica junior catcher Justin Harriman homered with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning to beat the Pointers who entered the tournament ranked 13th in the country with a record of 31-8. The Saints again rallied from behind when Chris LePine blasted a three-run double in the bottom of the 7th to tie the game at three apiece. Sophomore pitcher Corey Kemp pitched eight innings of six-hit relief to earn the win and raise his record to 6-2. Harriman and Joey Wood each had three hits for the Saints while Jeff Lahti and LePine each added two hits. Game 4: St. Thomas 3 – UW-Oshkosh 2 Game 5: UW-Oshkosh 5 – St. Scholastica 4 (11), eliminated For the third consecutive NCAA tournament game, the Saints rallied from behind making their mark as a team that would never quit. Justin Harriman’s two-run single in the 5th inning capped a three-run rally and gave the Saints a 4-3 lead. The Titans tied the game in the bottom of the inning and the teams remained scoreless for six innings as Oshkosh’s Jack Taschner and the Saints’ Adam Barta settled in for a pticher’s duel. The Titan’’s Casey Kopitzke scored an unearned run in the bottom of the 11th to send Oshkosh to its 18th consecutive Regional Championship game. Chris LePine and Jeff Lahti each had two hits for the Saints and Kopitzke had two hits for Oshkosh. The Saints ended the winningest season in school history with a 35-12 record. Game 6: St. Thomas 4 – UW-Oshkosh 3 St. Thomas earns berth in the NCAA III World Series

Class of 1999

Although you will not find Jeff’s name near the top of the career leaders, from 1996-1999, you could associate his name with being one of the best leaders to ever captain the Saints. During his senior season of 1999, Jeff led the Saints to their first ever NCAA tournament. That season, playing on a team filled with future hall of famers and members of this 25th anniversary team, Jeff led the team with 50 runs batted in, batted .353 and played in all 48 games.

Justin Harriman

Class of 2000

Leland Swenson came to the Saints as a freshman in 1996. For the next four years if you showed up at the ball park to watch the Saints, there was a good chance that Leland would starting at shortstop. Swenson not only played flawless defense, but he provided the Saints a tremendous amount of offense with his 225 career hits, 173 runs scored, a .399 batting average, and 166 runs batted in. He shares the single-season hits record of 83 and holds the single-season RBI record with 77. His .464 batting average is the third highest single season total. Following his four years at CSS, Leland became the first Saints baseball player to play for a major league organization when the Texas Rangers signed him to a contract in 2000. He went on to play two seasons in the Texas Rangers organization, one season with the Duluth-Superior Dukes, and finished his career as the starting short-stop for the St. Paul Saints. Swenson’s postseason honors included four All-UMAC selections including 2000 Player of the Year honors, two AllRegion selections including 2000 Region Player of the Year, and two All-American selections.

Class of 2000

A first team All-American catcher following his senior year of 2000, “Harry” made an immediate impact as a freshman by batting .360 with 30 RBIs. A career .393 hitter, Harriman ranks 2nd in career hits with 243 as well as doubles with 56. His 24 home runs are the third-most for any Saints hitter and his 178 runs batted in are the most in program history. Most would argue his most impressive accomplishment was his 42-game hitting streak from 1999-2000, but those in attendance would argue his walk-off home run in 1999 that gave the Saints their first ever win in an NCAA Tournament. Although he had a strong dislike for pitchers, Harriman was responsible for much of the success Saints pitchers endured during his four years behind the plate. Harriman was a four-time All-UMAC selection and three-time All-Region honoree.

DH

Greg Young Class of 2002

Greg Young’s legacy in Saints baseball history was created with his bat as he is possibly the greatest hitter to ever wear the Saints uniform. In his freshman season in 1999, “GY” appeared in 14 games and collected only 4 hits, but one was a home run. His sophomore season was sensational, posting a .444 batting average, 44 RBIs, 28 stolen bases, and a slugging percentage of .630. Over the next two years Greg began to cement himself in CSS baseball glory, hitting .474 in 2001 and .465 in 2002 – the two highest batting averages during a single season in the program’s history. “GY” is the all-time leader in batting average at .455 and also sits atop the slugging percentage list at an amazing .767. His 24 home runs rank second for a career, as do his 176 RBIs. Additionally, he is the single season leader in stolen bases with 40. Young was named UMAC Player of the Year twice and received All-UMAC honors a third time. He was the 2001 Region Player of the Year while receiving three All-Region nods.

Derek Bilben knocked 34 career home runs – the most by any Saint – and didn’t even play four years with the eam. Bilben is also the single-season leader with 16 round trippers, may have been the most feared Saints hitter to opposing hurlers. Standing at 6’1’’ 215 pounds, Bilben was responsible for much of the Saints offensive success from 1998-2000. During the Regional Championship game in 2000, Bilben put the Saints on his back and drove in 8 runs, leading his team to their first and regional title. Bilben was a three-time All-UMAC selection and named All-Region in 1998.

Class of 2000

The first great center fielder and lead-off hitter in Saints history, Chris LePine was the motor of the Saints. The program’s career hit leader with 245, he also ranks second in runs with 227, fourth in doubles with 54, and second in stolen bases with 96. His 83 hits in 2000 tie him with Leland Swenson for the most in a single season, and his 80 runs scored are the most ever in one season. LePine was also well known for his ability to chase down any ball hit his way. He galloped from gap to gap, turning would-be hits into outs. But perhaps the most electrifying weapon in his arsenal was his ability to run the bases, turning singles into doubles and doubles into triples. LePine was named an All-UMAC selection in each of his four years as a Saint and received All-Region honors twice, including an All-American selection in 2000.

Class of 2004

Another great centerfielder in Saints baseball history, Josh Wettlaufer began his career as a freshman in 2001 and was instantly inserted into the starting line up. Over his four-year career, Josh played in 176 games, missing just six. Josh was the spark plug of the Saints during his tenure. He ranks first in career runs scored with 253 and also in stolen bases with 101. He is third in career hits with 240 and batting average at .408. Wettlaufer was not your stereotypical lead-off hitter who would hit singles and steal bases. He also possessed the ability to hit the long ball and following zero homeruns during his freshmen year, he went on to hit 15 over the next three years – including ten during his senior season to go along with a team-high .463 batting average and 30 stolen bases. During Josh’s senior season, his team won a program-best 42 games – and he was leading the way. Wettlaufer is a four-time All-UMAC selection including two Player of the Year nods. He was named Region Player of the Year twice and an All-American in 2003.

The soft-throwing lefty relied on a mix of 79-mile per hour fastballs, slow changeups, and an even slower curve ball, to earn the most wins in the program’s 25 year history. His career totals of 29 wins, 233 innings and 258 strikeouts are all tops for a Saints pitcher, and his 11 wins in 2000 tied him with Ben Sickler for the most in a single season by a Saints pitcher. As a sophomore in 1999, “CK” came out of the bullpen to pitch 8 innings and earn the first ever win for the Saints in an NCAA Tournament when Justin Harriman hit a walk off homerun against Wis.-Stevens Point. Kemp was a great example of how working fast, changing speeds, and throwing strikes can make you a successful college pitcher. He was named UMAC Pitcher of the Year twice (2000, 2001) and received All-UMAC honors in each of his four years at CSS. “CK” earned All-Region and All-American honors twice in his four-year career.

John Baggs Head Coach

Hired at the young age of 24, Coach Baggs was the youngest college baseball head coach in the country. He inherited a baseball program that had won only 34 games during its first five years – and had never won more than 11 games in a single season. It did not take long for Coach Baggs to change the culture of his new program. They won 11 games in his first season of 1992, the following year 16 wins, the next year 18, then 26. In 1996, his team won 33 games; in 1997, 33 more. For his career, Coach Baggs had 567 wins in 18 years.. Although he valued a victory, what was more important to him was developing quality student-athletes who were good students and even better people in the community. He cared about the accomplishments they would achieve in their life after baseball and was always there for support. Every strong family has a leader, and for 18 years, John Baggs was the leader of Saints Baseball– and even though he is not with us on the field today, he will always be leading The Saints Baseball Family in our hearts.

Wade Stadium: The Home of Saints Baseball

Opening on July 16, 1941, Wade Stadium was built as part of Franklin Roosevelt's Work Progress Administration - a federal jobs program implemented during the Great Depression. Paving bricks from Grand Avenue were installed by masons hired by the Federal Government and were used to create the grandstand which still stands today.Wade Stadium was originally called All-Sports Stadium. Since 1941 more than 1 million fans have attended games at Wade Stadium. Kevin Richard of Ballpark Digest writes in his online review of Wade Stadium, “I will be upfront about my passion for Wade Stadium and Duluth, for I strongly believe that there is no better place to watch a baseball game on the face of the Earth.” In the fall of 2014, Wade Stadium got its biggest renovation in recent memory when the natural playing surface was torn up and field turf was installed throughout the field. New lights were also installed as well as cosmetic work on the exterior of the stadium.
