NCAA STATISTICAL

CHAMPIONS

The Trojans put together a remarkable run of six straight seasons with a player leading the NCAA in either a final statistical category or at their position defensively.

Nate Moore - 2004

Everyone knew it was coming at the end of games in 2004. If the Trojans held a lead late in the game, Nate Moore was going to take the mound. The Kinston, Ala., native was as dominant throughout that season as any player in college baseball. In 64.2 innings or work during the year, Moore allowed only nine earned runs. Name School IP ER ERA 1. Nate Moore Troy 64.2 9 1.25 2. Jered Weaver Long Beach State 144.0 26 1.63 3. Brad Kilby San Jose State 58.0 11 1.71 4. Jason Windsor Cal State-Fullerton 162.2 31 1.71 5. Wade Townsend Rice 120.1 23 1.72

Adam Godwin - 2005

There was nothing anyone could do to stop it. When Adam Godwin got on first base, everyone in the park knew what was coming. The opposing coaches knew, the pitchers knew and the catchers knew. Everyone was aware, but there was nothing they could do about it. The Enterprise, Ala., native was so dominant on the base paths that, not only did he set new school and conference marks for stolen bases in a season, he earned Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year honors. To illustrate how dominant he was, he stole second and third base consecutively 27 times during the year. Those 27 trips around the bases, alone, would have left him one stolen base shy of leading the nation. Name School G SB SB/G 1. Adam Godwin Troy 58 84 1.45 2. Carl Lipsey Jackson State 46 55 1.20 3. Corey Wimberley Alcorn State 38 42 1.11 4. Zach Penprase Miss. Valley State 48 44 0.92 5. Will Bashelor Dartmouth 34 30 0.88

Tom King - 2006

Tom King was a little bit of an unknown entering the 2006 season. A transfer from South Carolina, King’s 35 doubles not only led the nation, but they also fell one short of tying the all-time NCAA single-season record. The Panama City, Fla., native led the Trojans to a Sun Belt Conference title in their first year in the league by leading the nation in both doubles and hits. In addition to setting league records in both categories, he also set new league marks with a 31-game hitting streak and by getting hits in nine consecutive at bats not once, but twice. He was named Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year for his efforts. Name School G 2B 1. Tom King Troy 63 35 2. Jay Miller Washington State 59 28 3. Jacob Dempsey Winthrop 64 28 4. Phillip Laurent Liberty 60 27 5. Three tied 26 Name School AB H Avg. 1. Tom King Troy 285 117 .411 2. Chad Flack North Carolina 292 112 .384 3. Mike Goetz UW-Milwaukee 225 111 .493 4.

Josh Dew - 2007

Like Moore three years before, Josh Dew got the ball at the end of a lot of games for the Trojans in 2007. Unlike Moore, he rarely got the opportunity to warm up in the bull pen because he spent most of his time playing first base. The Montgomery, Ala., native’s moonlighting as a closer turned into his primary vocation as he turned in one dominant performance after another. Dew earned Sun Belt Pitcher of the Year honors by striking out better than 40 percent of the hitters he faced during the year while posting a 7-2 record and earning 10 saves. Name School App. IP SO K/9 1. Josh Dew Troy 27 65.1 97 13.4 2. David Price Vanderbilt 18 133.1 194 13.1 3. Jess Todd Arkansas 23 93.1 128 12.3 4. Chance Chapman Oral Roberts 22 94.0 127 12.2 5. Mitch Harris Navy 14 88.1 119 12.1

Bryan Miller - 2008

The thought of producing a fifth straight national champion at the beginning of the 2008 season was not even a consideration. Through 11 games, the Incline Village, Nev., native had a fairly average five doubles. He more than doubled that total in a series against FIU, but the best was yet to come. Through 34 games, Miller had 16 doubles, but over a 24-game hitting streak to end the season, Miller hit a sparkling .519 with 16 more doubles, not to mention 10 home runs. He also drove in 41 runs during that stretch, with a .963 slugging percentage. Name School G 2B 2B/G 1. Bryan Miller Troy 58 32 .55 2. Matt Pace Ark.-Pine Bluff 43 23 .53 3. Ike Davis Arizona State 52 26 .50 4. Ryan Keedy UAB 60 29 .48 5. Jesse Hart UW-Milwaukee 59 28 .47

Brett Henry - 2009

Awarded to only nine players in Division I baseball, the Rawlings Gold Glove is one of the game’s toughest awards to receive. Henry, a native of Mobile, Ala., claimed the award at third base after posted a .976 fielding percentage his senior season. Henry committed just four errors in 166 defensive chances at the hot corner and was on the front end of nine double plays. His efforts helped Troy rank 47th among 288 Division I schools in fielding percentage on the season. He also was solid at the plate as he finished the year batting at a .313 clip with seven home runs and 42 RBIs.

SMARTT

A two-time national champion as a player at Troy, Mark Smartt begins his second season as the program’s head coach in 2017. Smartt, who was officially named the baseball head coach at Troy University on June 2, 2015, began his journey to the head coach position in the fall of 1985 as he arrived in Troy to begin his junior year in college. In his first season as head coach, Smartt led the Trojans to a 32-26 record and a third place finish in the Sun Belt Conference. To begin the year, Smartt helped propel the Trojans to a 7-0 start, and was the first head coach in Troy’s history to start off his first year 7-0 dating back to 1970. Smartt was recruited to play for legendary head coach Chase Riddle as a second baseman by then assistant coach Mike Russell. No one at that time, including him, could envision he would eventually ascend to the head coach position he currently holds. “I owe so much to both Coach Mike Russell and Coach Chase Riddle”, Smartt said. “They afforded me the opportunity to play at Troy, and when I chose to attend Troy, it easily one of the best decisions I have ever made. I played on two great teams, played for one of the greatest coaches in college baseball, and met my future wife, Deborah, who is a Troy graduate. Troy has been wonderful to me for many years now.” Smartt played for Riddle on the 1986 and 1987 NCAA Division II National Championship teams that went a combined 82-18 and posted a perfect 22-0 postseason record. He was the second-leading hitter (.405) on the ’86 championship team, which is the sixth highest single-season average in school history. Smartt ended his career with a .379 batting average, the fourth-highest career average in school annals. Smartt was named All-Gulf South Conference in 1986 and 1987 and earned second team all-region honors in 1987. He was also named to the College World Series All-Tournament Team in 1987 after hitting .333 while not committing an error in 24 chances. His playing career was punctuated by his induction into the Troy University Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002. Smartt began his coaching career with Riddle and the Trojans as he was first a student assistant in 1988 and then a graduate assistant in 1989. Those teams combined to post a 64-33 record, win a Gulf South Conference title and play in the NCAA Division II Regionals. “Coach Riddle allowed me to begin my coaching career as a young, unproven coach in 1988,” Smartt said. “I was very quiet and listened to everything he had to say both years. He knew more baseball than any man I have ever known, and I was very fortunate to be around him both as a player and a young coach.” Smartt spent 11 seasons as a coach at the University of West Alabama, serving as the head coach from 1995-2000. He arrived in Livingston as the school’s first full-time assistant coach in 1990 under then head coach Mark Hogan. His recruiting efforts helped produce a 1992 Division II College World Series appearance after capturing Gulf South Conference and South Central Regional championships along the way. The Tigers captured a GSC West Division Championship in 1994, his last season as an assistant. In 1995, Smartt was elevated to the head coaching position and compiled a 164-163 record in six seasons. During his tenure, his teams broke or tied 38 school records while producing two All-Americans, seven all-region and 10 All-GSC selections. Under his leadership, UWA also finished in the top five in national attendance in five of his six seasons, including setting a single-game home crowd record of 2,019 in his last season. Smartt returned to his alma mater in July of 2002, accepting an assistant coaching position under then head coach Bobby Pierce. “I am indebted to Coach Bobby Pierce for hiring me in 2002,” Smartt said. “It gave me the chance to come back to the school I love and the place that means so much to me and my wife. Being able to coach at my alma mater and wear the Troy uniform again is very special.”

During his 13 years as the assistant at Troy, the Trojans won four conference championships, appeared in four NCAA Regionals, had 17 players earn All-America honors and saw 30 players sign professional contracts. Over 17 seasons as a player and assistant coach, Smartt has participated in 1,013 games in a Troy uniform, which is the most of any player or coach in school history. He has been involved in 598 wins, six conference championship teams and six NCAA postseason teams. Smartt either played with or coached 30 of the 51 All-American players the Trojans have produced. “It is an honor and privilege to be the head coach at Troy baseball, and I will forever be grateful for this opportunity,” Smart said. “I would not be the head coach without the support of Bobby Pierce, who did a great job leading our program for 13 seasons. He put me in position to succeed, much like he did for his players throughout his career. “When I first arrived here in 1985, I never imagined I could follow in the footsteps of coaches like Chase Riddle and Bobby Pierce. I will strive to represent them and every former player and coach with the proper respect this job requires. There is no place I would rather be than here in Troy.” Smartt and his wife Deborah have a daughter, Taylor, who is an assistant coach of the Troy softball team and a Troy graduate, and a son, Chase, who is currently a member of the Troy baseball team.

PHILLIPS

Brad Phillips enters his seventh season as the pitching coach. Under his guidance, two Troy pitchers have been named Sun Belt Conference Pitcher of the Year and one named Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year. In 2016, the Troy pitching staff ranked third in the Sun Belt with a 3.79 ERA and saw seniors Grant Bennett and Lucas Brown land on All-Sun Belt Team for the second straight season. Phillips was rewarded for his efforts as he was named the 2016 Alabama Baseball Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year. Marc Skinner took Freshman of the Year honors in 2014 as Troy’s closer after posting a 6-1 record with a league-best 1.52 ERA. He also recorded five saves. In 2013, Shane McCain was named SBC Pitcher of the Year with a 9-1 record and 3.48 ERA. In 2011, Tyler Ray ran away with the award after posting a 12-0 record and 2.39 ERA. The Trojans finished 2013 with a staff ERA of 3.82, which was the second best mark in the Sun Belt Conference and over two runs better than the previous season. The pitching staff also lowered its opponents’ batting average by over 30 points. In 2013, Phillips tutored reliever Nate Hill, who finished ranked fifth in the country with 11.14 strikeouts per nine innings. As a staff, Troy was fifth in the nation in strikeouts per nine innings with 8.6. Under Phillips in 2012, Hill set a Troy then-school record for appearances with 35 (Thomas Austin’s 32 appearances that season would have also set a record). Hill would again set the record for appearances with 37 in 2013. Phillips became the Trojans’ pitching coach in August 2010 after a successful head coaching career at Niceville (Fla.) High School and Charles Henderson (Ala.) High School. Phillips was no stranger to the Troy baseball program, having served as a volunteer assistant under Pierce during the 2003-04 seasons. Phillips, a native of Hazel Green, Ala., in Madison County, played collegiately at Gadsden State Community College and the University of Montevallo before completing his degree at Troy in 2004. He took over the program at CHHS that same year and led the team to four consecutive AHSAA playoff appearances. During his time at Charles Henderson he posted a record of 114-59 and was named the Class 5A Region 2 Coach of the Year four times. He was named the Dothan Eagle Super 12 Coach of the Year in 2008. Phillips took over the program at Niceville (Fla.) High School for the 2009 season and took his team to consecutive state playoff appearances while posting a combined record of 43-16. He was named the 2009 Northwest Florida Daily News Coach of the Year. Phillips is married to the former Peyton Marsh of Madison, Ala. The couple, who was married in December 2010, has a daughter, Piper Belle and a son, Scout.

GIERKE

Shane Gierke enters his second season as assistant coach for the Troy baseball program. Gierke joined the Trojans 12 seasons as an assistant at the University of West Florida. “I am excited that Shane has decided to join our staff at Troy University,” head coach Mark Smartt said. “He has had great success as a coach and recruiter at the University of West Florida, his alma mater.” “Shane has a unique ability as a recruiter and is familiar with the region in which we must have success recruiting. He is an outstanding coach that has helped build quality offensive teams during his tenure at UWF. I have no doubt that Shane will make a significant impact on the Troy baseball program immediately.” For eight years, Gierke served as the recruiting coordinator for the University of West Florida and has oversaw catcher development and hitting instruction. Gierke worked two seasons as an assistant under former head coach Jim Spooner starting in 2004, and he coached his 10th year as assistant head coach under Mike Jeffcoat in 2015. Gierke will have the same responsibilities at Troy. Relationships he developed throughout the southeast while at UWF will be instrumental in recruiting student-athletes that will keep the Trojans at the top of the Sun Belt Conference. Gierke’s recruiting efforts at UWF were highlighted by several major league prospects. Gierke recruited all 11 Argonauts that have been drafted by major league teams, including five players in 2011 after the team’s national championship season. In his 12 years with the coaching staff, UWF has produced a total of eight AllAmericans, 26 All-Region honorees and 77 All-GSC players. Gierke will also be responsible for working with hitters and catchers as well as coaching third base. Since he took over as hitting coach at UWF, the team enjoyed some of its best offensive seasons in school history. In 2011, the Argonauts won the NCAA Division II national championship and set school records in runs (449), hits (638) and walks (267). As a team, UWF batted .326 and averaged 7.4 runs per game, led by All-Americans Greg Pron and Brandon Brewer. The Argonauts also hit .306 in 2009 and .315 in 2010, two of the top offensive seasons in school history. In eight seasons with Gierke as hitting coach, the team has batted at least .290 every year except one, produced 36 All-GSC position players and advanced to the NCAA Tournament five times. Gierke played two seasons for the Argonauts from 2000-02. Shane is a native of Apopka, Fla., and he is the son of Carolyn and Chip Gierke. His father has been a high school baseball and football coach in the Central Florida area for over 30 years. His brother Casey, a former player and assistant coach at UWF, is currently coaching high school baseball in Central Florida. Shane’s brother Brad was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 1996 and later went on to play football at Appalachian State. Gierke is married to the former Veronica Slover and has one son, Jackson.

Peyton Fuller Volunteer Assistant Coach

34 Peyton Fuller begins his first season as the volunteer assistant coach for the Troy baseball program. Fuller was hired on January 4, 2017. “It was an easy decision to move Peyton into this role,” Smartt said. “He has intimate familiarity with our program and has been around the game his whole life. His father, Stu, is a great coach and growing up as a coach’s son gives him a unique understanding of the profession. Peyton possesses the qualities to be an outstanding coach and I know he is committed to our system and beliefs here at Troy.” The Fairhope, Ala., native, began his career with Troy in 2012, when he redshirted and completed his playing career in 2016. Fuller was a member of the 2013 Troy team that went 42-20, won a Sun Belt championship and earned a spot in the NCAA Regionals. He played in 119 games and started 71 over the course of his career. He tallied 66 hits, including 14 doubles and four home runs. He drove in 42 runs and stole 10 bases. Defensively, Fuller saw time at third base, shortstop and second base during his playing career, where he had 97 putouts and 217 assists. Early in his career he spent time as a pitcher and even worked some as an outfielder. His responsibilities include coaching first base and coordinating the defense. “His versatility as a player was obvious and it will be an advantage for him as he begins coaching. He has learned from quality coaches and will be able to communicate well with any area on the field,” Smartt added. Fuller earned his bachelor’s degree from Troy University in 2015 and will complete his master’s degree this summer.

SUN BELT

The Sun Belt Conference mantra “Together We Rise” exemplifies what has quickly become America’s most up-and-coming collegiate athletics conference. Founded in 1976, the Sun Belt has adapted and evolved in its nearly 40 year existence. The league was originally formed as a home for some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams and it wasn’t until a number of changes and the demand for a higher national profile that the league began sponsoring football in 2001. Because of this decision to move the league in to the group of football playing conferences, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics. With the 2014-15 year marking the debut of the College Football Playoff (CFP) the Sun Belt continues to find itself among the 10 premier college football conferences and the new system is guaranteed universal access based on performance – there are no automatic qualifiers for the playoff system. Additionally, the CFP will mean that a spot among the premier bowl games of college football will be guaranteed to the highest-ranked champion from the other “Group of Five” conferences: the Sun Belt Conference, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West Conference, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA. With the College Football Playoff included with the league’s other bowl arrangements, the Sun Belt Conference is tied to seven total bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, the Cure Bowl (debuting in 2015) all guarantee a home for a bowl eligible Sun Belt Conference team each year. And beginning with the2016 season, the Sun Belt is also part of a rotation of conferences that will send a team to the Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl. The influx of bowl game opportunities comes at a time when the Sun Belt Conference is breaking win records year after year and the league is continually exceeding expectations. The Sun Belt’s 21 non-conference football wins in the 2013 season was a new record for the league - eclipsing the mark of 19 set the year prior. Additionally of note for the league’s non-conference win total was that the Sun Belt fared well against its peer opponents in the non-AQ BCS ranks. The Sun Belt finished a combined 8-1 against members of Conference-USA (4-1), the Mid-American Conference (3-0) and the Mountain West Conference (1-0). The Sun Belt also had the best overall non-conference win percentage when comparing the four non-AQ conferences. The 2013 football season also saw two teams take home bowl championship trophies, as UL Lafayette won its third consecutive R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and Arkansas State won its second consecutive GoDaddy Bowl. Of course, football wasn’t the only sport that has seen recent success and all of the league’s sports have contributed to the “Rise” of the Sun Belt Conference. In men’s basketball, league newcomer Georgia State put together one of the best conference performances in league history in winning the 2013-14 Sun Belt regular season championship. UL Lafayette captured the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in what was one of the most thrilling finishes to the Sun Belt championship game in recent memory.

Director of Communications................................ Randy Lieberman ........................................................................... lieberman@sunbeltsports.org An influx of young coaches mixed with proven veterans makes both Sun Belt men’s and women’s basketball an exciting brand with vast potential. The Sun Belt Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships were played in the hometown of the Sun Belt at Lakefront Arena this past March in what was the first of a three year deal that will have Sun Belt hoops in the “Big Easy” each March. Baseball and softball continue to be among the league’s standard-bearers for success as each continues to send teams on deep postseason runs and teams are easy to find in the national polls. In baseball, UL Lafayette held a unanimous No. 1 national ranking during the 2014 season and hosted a NCAA Tournament Regional and Super Regional. Not to be outdone, the UL Lafayette softball team also hosted the NCAA Tournament rounds and qualified for the 2014 edition of the Women’s College World Series. In recent years as many as four Sun Belt teams have advanced to the baseball postseason in a single year, while as many as three Sun Belt softball teams have accomplished that feat.

TROY BASEBALL

HISTORY

Few schools in the South, let alone in America, possess as rich a history and tradition as that of the Troy baseball program. In the last 40 years, Trojan hardball squads have claimed more than 1,300 victories, 14 conference championships, seven NCAA Regional crowns and back-toback Division II NCAA Championships in 1986 and 1987. Photographic archives show evidence of intercollegiate baseball in the Wiregrass as early as the turn of the century, but school records only date back to 1954. Listed hereafter is a synopsis of the “modern era” of Troy Baseball.

1931

All home games are moved to what is now known as Riddle-Pace Field. All previous home seasons were played on the quad in front of Shackelford Hall. The change in venue was due to the number of windows being broken in Shackelford.

1961

In his first season as head coach, Melvin Lucas leads Troy to a 17-7 record and its first Alabama Intercollegiate Conference title. After capturing ACC crowns in 1962 and 1964, Lucas ends his four-year stint with a 62-30 record. His .674 winning percentage is still second all-time at Troy.

1975

Larry Maier is hired as the eighth coach in school history. He is also the linebackers coach on the Troy football team. In his only season on the diamond, the 33-year-old leads the Trojans to a 14-12 record.

1978

1979

After 25 years as a player, manager and scout with the St. Louis Cardinals, 50-year-old Chase Riddle is hired as the ninth head coach since 1954.

He did just that in his first year, leading the Trojans to a 34-19 record, the Gulf South Conference East Division crown and a berth in the NCAA South Central Regional. Troy finished the year ranked 14th in the nation. On April 13, Chase Riddle’s No. 25 became the first number to be retired in Troy history.

1992

The loss of Troy’s top three pitchers from the 1991 team proved too much to overcome as the Trojans finished with a 29-21 record. Dave Sparks emerged as the ace of the squad and went 7-2 with four complete games and three shutouts. The high point of the year came on Friday, April 24, when he hurled a perfect game against Georgia State at Riddle-Pace Field. Troy led the nation in attendance with 5,625 total fans passing through the turnstiles at Riddle-Pace Field. The Trojans averaged 433 fans per game.

1990

In what would be Coach Riddle’s last year at Troy, the Trojans finished one game shy of a run at a third national championship, dropping the regional title contest to arch-rival Jacksonville State. Troy went 51-10 and broke or tied more than 40 team and individual school records. Ward Thigpen earned first-team All-America accolades, while catcher Joel Smith garnered third-team honors. Scott Ates tied an NCAA Division II record when he hit four home runs against Valparaiso on March 6. He was the first player since 1965 to accomplish the feat. His 16 total bases tied the NCAA record and stood for three years -- but is now tied for sixth all-time. On June 4, by an act of the University Board of Trustees, Pace Field was officially renamed Riddle-Pace Field. In the off-season the infield of Pace Field was dug up, leveled and rebuilt with new sod and a complete state-of-the-art irrigation system.

In its final year as a Division II member, Troy claimed the NCAA South Central Regional Tournament and returned to the College World Series for the first time since 1987. Knowing it would be the final appearance in Montgomery, the Trojans were the sentimental favorite to win their third championship. Senior Steve “Chainsaw” Charles took the hill and made just his third start of the season in the opener against Mansfield. He definitely made the most of his opportunity. In front of 5,100 fans, Charles threw the first no-hitter in College World Series history. The Trojans went 1-2 over their next three contests and had to settle for a third-place finish. They ended the year with a 39-17 record. Charles finished the season with a 1.40 ERA, a 5-1 record, a schoolrecord 10 saves and was named first team All-America. Charles’ 4.34 hits allowed per nine innings went down as the fourth lowest total in NCAA Division II annals. Senior catcher Chip Hummel earned third-team AllAmerica honors after batting .325 and leading the team in at bats (203), hits (66) and doubles (13). Mayotte was named Division II National Coach of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association.

1994

In its first year as a full Division I member, Troy won the East Coast Conference Tournament with a 5-1 record and finished the season with a 34-16 mark. The Trojans posted a four-game split with NCAA Tournament participant South Alabama and a two-game split with eventual NCAA College World Series participant Auburn. Right-hander Rob Batchler was named ECC Player of the Year as he posted an 11-3 record and a 3.73 ERA. He concluded his two-year career with a 22-7 record.

With the 1995 season came high expectations and anticipation around the Troy campus. Troy was entering its first year as a member of the Mid-Continent Conference. The Trojans finished the regular season with a 22-21-1 record and drew the third seed in the fourteam MCC Tournament, hosted by Eastern Illinois in Charleston. Trojan ace Jason Fawcett beat EIU 13-6 in game one, as Alex Rosa paced the team with a three-run homer and two-run double. A thrilling 8-7 win over Western Illinois in game two left Troy just one win shy of the Mid-Con title. Tournament MVP Rosa hit another three-run dinger, and Peter Bezeredi collected four hits as the Trojans defeated WIU, 12-9, for the championship. The Trojans continued their hot play in the NCAA Play-In series against Midwestern Collegiate Conference champ Wright State. Fawcett took the hill in game one as the bats provided more than enough support in a 16-7 rout. Troy earned its first NCAA Regional berth when pinch-runner Lance Lawley scored from second on a single by Rhodney Donaldson with the score tied in the bottom of the ninth to give Troy a 6-5 victory.

TROY BASEBALL The Trojans breezed by Western Illinois and NE Illinois to earn a spot in the finals. NEIU upended Troy, 7-3, forcing a winner-take-all final. The Trojans exacted some revenge from the previous year, defeating the Golden Eagles, 9-3, on their home field. Troy took two straight from Detroit in the NCAA Play-In series and was assigned to the NCAA South II Regional in Tuscaloosa, Ala. In their opening game against Alabama, the Trojans held a 5-4 advantage through six-and-a-half innings but could not hang on, as the top-ranked Crimson Tide won, 8-5. A day later, ninth-ranked USC eliminated Troy, 5-2, ending the Trojans’ season at 37-23. The Trojans nearly pulled off another sweep of the conference awards, missing out only on the Newcomer of the Year. Outfielder Bryan Kelley was named Player of the Year, Jason Fawcett Pitcher of the Year and Mayotte earned his fourth career Coach of the Year award.

1998

In their first year as a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference, the Trojans finished with a 37-21 mark and advanced to the conference title game. Troy hit a school-record 115 home runs, led primarily by the record-setting bat of Jorge Soto, who hit 23. On April 14, 2,159 fans set a Riddle-Pace Field attendance record as Troy upset third-ranked Alabama, 8-4.

1999

Troy tallied 118 home runs, breaking the school record of 115 set in 1998. The 2.00 HR per game ranked second nationally.

His 26 round-trippers set a new school record, breaking his own record set in 1998. Kevan Burns’ 22 and 0.376 per game placed him in a tie for 29th. On May 8, Troy broke 10 individual and team records in a 34-4 rout of Stetson at Riddle-Pace Field. The 14 hits belted out by the Trojans in the sixth inning are an NCAA Division I record.

Adam Godwin led all of NCAA Division I with 84 stolen bases and was named A-Sun Player of the Year. Henry Gutierrez made a run at the A-Sun triple crown and led the way as the Trojans hammered out 82 homers for the season. Senior pitchers Brent Adcock and Landon Brazell gave Troy the top pitching tandem in the conference. The combined to win 20 of the

Junior third baseman Casey Smith finished the year with a .404 batting average, ranking 42nd nationally. The Trojans finished with a 22-34 record, 11-16 in A-Sun play, and missed the conference tournament for the first time in three years as a member.

2001

Troy won five of its final six regular-season games to secure the sixth seed in the A-Sun Tournament. After dropping their opener to UCF, the Trojans upset No. 2 seed Stetson before falling to Jacksonville in the quarterfinals. The Trojans finished the year at 27-28 overall and 13-17 in A-Sun action. Jason Bernard was named second team All-South Region and finished among the national leaders in wins (20th with 11) and ERA (52nd at 2.71). As a team, the Trojans finished 16th in double plays (1.07 per game).

2002

After enduring a slow start, the Troy baseball team rallied over the last month to earn another berth in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship. The Trojans won 19 of their last 28 games, including nine straight at one point, to pull into fourth place in the A-Sun standings.

2003

Troy began the Bobby Pierce era with a 27-27 finish. The Trojans won their first five under Pierce and were in contention for a spot in the A-Sun tournament. However, they dropped 10 of their last 13 to miss the tournament by just one game. Trent Cox broke the freshman hit record with 49 and was named to the A-Sun All-Freshman team.

2004

The Trojans made great strides in Pierce’s second season.

The Trojans earned a second straight NCAA Tournament berth, but fell short of a third straight conference title. The season was highlighted by victories over Alabama, Auburn, Michigan, Southern Miss and Arkansas, not to mention a pair of thrilling wins over nationally-ranked Coastal Carolina. Troy’s strong non-conference performance resulted in a top 20 RPI and earned the team an at-large berth into the Oxford Regional. There the team dropped consecutive games to Southern Miss and Sam Houston State to end the season. The Trojans ran their streak of NCAA statistical champions to four with Josh Dew’s performance on the mound.

2006

Mother nature intervened on Troy’s attempt to earn a third consecutive NCAA Regional bid. Troy knew that a victory in the Sun Belt Tournament was the only way for that bid to come, but the weather had other ideas. After dropping an opening round game to host UL Lafayette, the Trojans were poised to eliminate top-seeded New Orleans in their second game. NCAA doubles champion Bryan Miller stood at the plate with one out in the ninth inning and the winning run 90 feet away. Almost any ball put in play would result in a Troy victory. Before Miller could face a single pitch, a huge lightning bolt struck just outside the stadium, forcing a delay that turned into a 24 hour stoppage by 10 inches of rain. When play did resume the next morning, Miller struck out and UNO got a homer in extra innings to down Troy and end the Trojans’ season.

After the disappointment of the end of the 2005 season, the Trojans went into the 2006 campaign with renewed determination. The players were determined to leave their mark on a new league, and that is just what they did. 2009 The Trojans put together a streak in the middle of the season that While the Trojans’ streak of national statistical champions came to resulted in victories in 20 of 21 games.

The race for the Sun Belt title came down to the final day of action between Troy and FIU. At the end of the day, it was the Trojans who were able to dog pile on the field following a 10-7 victory at rival South Alabama.

2013

Another first for head coach Bobby Pierce and company as the 2013 Trojans became the first team in Troy’s Division I history to finish a season ranked in the top 25 after Collegiate Baseball tabbed the Trojans 23rd in its final poll of the season. Behind All-Americans Danny Collins and Logan Pierce and Sun Belt Pitcher of the Year Shane McCain, Troy won a share of the Sun Belt title and earned the No. 1 seed in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament.

Reigning Sun Belt Conference Pitcher of the Year Shane McCain turned in a solid senior campaign with an 4-4 record and a 3.38 ERA. McCain became the first pitcher in Troy history to record back-to-back 100+ strikeout seasons. It would be freshman Marc Skinner, however, that stole the spotlight in 2014. Skinner earned Sun Belt Freshman of the Year honors with a 6-1 record with five saves to accompany a league-best 1.52 ERA. He struck out 70 batters in 65 innings on the mound. He was also named Louisville Slugger and NCBWA All-American.

took the Trojans to a 32-26 record and a fourth-place Sun Belt finish. The Trojans started the season 7-0 and Smartt became the first coach in Troy’s history to go 7-0 in his first season. Strong pitching and timely hitting were the Trojans recipe for success as Lucas Brown and Grant Bennett combined for a 16-6 record, 147 strikeouts and only 47 walks in 103.2 innings pitched. Both were named All-Sun Belt with Bennett being first team and Brown second team. Troy had a strong bullpen that set a new single-season record with 15 saves, 10 of them from Corey Childress alone. Childress and Skinner pitched a combined 85 innings in relief. Childress struck out 46 batters, while Skinner sat down 30. Joey Denison was the main offensive production with a .322 batting average, 69 hits, 14 doubles, seven home runs and 47 RBIs (all team-highs). Denison took home All-Sun Belt Second Team honors for his performance.

1986 NATIONAL By Tom Ensey -- Troy SID (1979-97) It was midnight. And baseball was still being played. On May 23, 1986, in the opening round of the NCAA Division II Baseball Championship Finals, Troy State trailed Mankato State, 6-4, in the top of the ninth. The game hadn’t even started until 9:15 p.m. The afternoon contest, a 14-12 Sacramento State win over Tampa, had dragged on for three hours. Then, the between-game ceremonies ran overtime, pressing everything back against this moment, this unlikely hour. Midnight, bases loaded, one out: Troy third baseman Wendell Stephens at bat with an 0-2 count and a national championship in the balance. Forget that there was even one out. Stephens was Troy’s big gun, the team home run leader, school record holder for RBI in a season and career. He was The Man. This was it. Forget, too, that the crowd of 6,280 had dwindled to 2,000 or so. The diehards who remained shook the stadium with every pitch, yelling from their hearts. It was like one throbbing, swelling voice that offered up a roaring prayer for deliverance. Stephens had fouled off four straight pitches into that thunder. He and Mankato reliever Scott Toop were locked in a war of wills as if nothing else matter. And nothing else did matter. Not in that stadium, at midnight. Toop checked, rocked, fired. Fastball. Stephens’ bat flashed, cracked and the center fielder never turned around to watch it go. Toop sank to his knees. That ball was long gone, deep into the night, deep into the kudzu that grew thick on the steep clay bank rising behind the 380 sign in Montgomery’s Paterson Field. A grand slam. Unreal. “When I saw it go out,” Stephens said later. “I thought, ‘Okay, now we can win it.’” He meant the tournament -- the national championship that had eluded four previous Trojan teams. And while the tournament was far from over, there was still that ringing home run, struck at midnight. That sudden, improbably dramatic instant in which the wish became real, frozen in time and echoing in the mind like destiny. Today, with the gold trophy securely encased in the lobby of the Tine Davis Field House, the rest of the 1986 NCAA Division II Baseball Championship Finals seems strangely distant and anticlimactic. But there were other moments, many individual efforts combined, and many hearts fused into the force that forged a shared dream in to the reality of that trophy. Remember Troy State’s tough little lefty, Ron Warren, tired but bearing down in the last three innings of his last college game, a 7-5 win over valiant New Haven. He protected that two-run lead with every molecule in his body. (Before the game, before Warren trotted off to the bullpen to take

his warmup, a friend had said, “Little Man, I hope you have one more left in you.” Warren replied, “Big Man, how many do you want?”) Remember Jody Ryan’s complete game. A 9-1 win over heavyhitting Sacramento State. Ryan got the start on a hunch by coach Chase Riddle. On a lastminute lineup change, Ryan took the ball and went out to complete his up-and-down, injury-plagued, roller coaster college career as he scattered nine hits. He teetered on the brink of disaster for nine full innings, but always found the right pitch to Wendell Stephens’ ninth inning Grand Slam in the first game of the 1986 NCAA Division get out of trouble. II World Series propelled Troy State to its first Remember Mike nation title in baseball. Perez and his masterful one-hit shutout of Columbus College in the championship game, which had been delayed a day by rain. The contest was finally played in a persistent, gentle drizzle on a threatening night with the faraway rumble of distant thunder. Perez fell into a trancelike rhythm that a 26-minute rain delay in the fourth and a line drive taken to his thigh in the eighth could not undo. The Trojan batters gave him five runs, more than enough that evening. Perez threw just 80 pitches -- 54 strikes in nine innings. He retired the last 11 men in order while striking out the last two. Then, leaping into the arms of his catcher, Todd Englett, Perez thrust his redoubtable right arm high into the air in triumph. And Riddle, with every line on his weathered face aglow, put the championship into perspective. His baseball career had spanned five decades, beginning in 1942 when he signed his first professional contract at 17 in his hometown of Columbus, Ga. As he stood in the midst of the celebration, Riddle cradled the trophy he had yearned for since returning to his alma mater as coach eight years before. He watched his young national champions cheering wildly. “Just look at those kids’ faces,” Riddle said, his voice cracking. “That’s what it’s all about. That’s what you do it for.”

1987 NATIONAL

By Tom Ensey -- Troy SID (1979-97) In 1987, Troy State won its second straight NCAA Division II Baseball Championship. The celebration of 1986 was still in full swing when the first person asked, “Can you do it again?” Uh, well... The tone was set early for the coming season. Comparisons between the two teams were inevitable and began before the 1987 squad even hit the field. The 1986 club left an all-but-impossible act to follow. They posted an eye-popping 46-8 record, utterly demolished good teams along the way and staged incredible, dramatic comebacks in championship play. It was as if Hollywood had scripted the season, as if some screenwriter had imagined the archetypical team of destiny and put them on the field in Troy uniforms. The ‘87 team would battle the memory of ‘86 as surely as they would face hard-eyed opposing pitchers and batters who wanted nothing more than to knock the crown off the defending champions’ heads. By the time the ‘87 season started, 1986 had receded into the all-forgiving past, and typically, fans recalled something more like a highlight film than reality. And of course, the fans also expected the new edition to pick up where the legend left off, though new faces and untested players abounded. The season started, and the wheels came off. Troy State split its first doubleheader, split its second and lost its third. It was like watching somebody drown. Two-and-four to start the year, enduring three shutouts. This was not against championship competition, to put it kindly. The record inched over .500 as the young season progressed, but the uphill climb was anything but pretty. The Trojans hovered between mediocrity and collapse. Chase Riddle, the silver-haired, veteran coach, had seen a lot of ups and downs over his career. He wasn’t exactly cheerful during the rough going, but he counseled calm and patience. “I told you we wouldn’t play at the start of this year like we did at the end of last year,” he reminded. “I still have a good gut feeling about this team...Don’t give up on us...We still have a chance to be a good ball club...I don’t know if we’ll be a championship team, that’s up to the players.” April 4 was a ridiculous day for baseball, with 20 degree temperatures and stinging winds after a freakish Alabama snowstorm. At the home of arch-rival Jacksonville State, TSU’s record dipped to a chilling 12-9, 1-2 in the Gulf South Conference after losing the first game of a league doubleheader. James Wray, the ace of the staff, lasted five innings, surrendered five runs, and took the loss for an un-acely 2-3 record. After two innings of the second game, TSU trailed 8-0 and was staring down the barrel of

CHAMPIONS a disgracefully early exit from league contention. Forget about national championships and all that jazz. It would be nice to say the wind changed directions and grew suddenly warm, or the sun broke through the frozen clouds as TSU mounted its comeback. But no omens underscored the rally. The guys finally started getting the bat on the baseball. When the game ended, TSU had banged out a 13-9 win and was still alive in the GSC race. After the game, the prevalent emotion was weak-kneed relief, the kind one would find after surviving a bad car crash. If there was a turning point to the 1987 season, that was it. And come to think of it, the weather did warm up with TSU’s hitting and pitching. After that, nature began to burst with rebirth as Trojan hopes rose. It seemed like the rest of the team’s days were played on beautiful, shining spring days. Things began to turn around, but slowly. The team teetered on the brink. It survived one close call after another. But TSU always managed to scrape by. Toward the end of the regular season, the Trojans were a good baseball team, fulfilling half of Riddle’s prophecy. And like the old man said, if they make up their minds... The record was 20-10 on Easter Sunday, after Valdosta State demolished the Trojans, 10-2. It was the last loss the team would suffer. TSU caught fire and raced through the rest of the schedule undefeated, closing with a 15-game winning streak. Wray won his last six games in a row and began a streak of 36.2 consecutive scoreless innings, four straight shutouts, winding up a firstteam All-America. Not only was Wray honored, but first baseman Jude Rinaldi ended up swinging the meanest bat in school history. During 1987, he posted a .431 batting average, with 16 home runs and 45 runs batted in in 45 games. The team equaled all the achievements of the ‘86 squad, ripping through postseason play undefeated, collecting Gulf South Conference, South Central Region and national championships. The opponents, for the most part, were stunned that they had lost to these guys. How did they continue winning, game after game? The fact of the matter is, the second-time national champions weren’t as overwhelmingly talented as the great team of ‘86. They did not set records, they weren’t as deep in pitching, didn’t have the stunning speed or awesome power. They sure did not make winning look easy. But they did not fold, either. They did not break when things looked hopeless, and they delivered when it was all on the line. They fought every step of the way. They left claw marks all the way to the top of the heap.

LEGENDARY COACH

CHASE RIDDLE

Above: Riddle watches the final inning of Mike Perez’s complete-game one-hitter over Columbus College in the 1986 NCAA Championship game. Below: Riddle is carried off the field following Troy’s 5-0 victory over Columbus College in the 1986 title game. Left: Riddle’s No. 25 was retired on April 13, 1991.

Between 1979 and 1990, while Chase Riddle roamed the dugouts and coaches boxes of Pace Field, the Troy State baseball program rose from regional obscurity to national powerhouse. Riddle was the winningest coach in school history -- in any sport -- with 434 wins at the time. His overall record of 434-147-2, a .747 winning percentage, ranked him among the top 10 Division II coaches in winning percentage. His legacy continues as the Trojans walk through the gates of RiddlePace Field each day. Riddle was also inducted into the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame as part of the inaugural class in 2012.

His teams won two national championships (and narrowly missed out on three others), six regional titles and captured five Gulf South Conference crowns. He was named Coach of the Year in 1986 and 1987 and nabbed Regional Coach of the Year awards in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1986 and 1987. GSC GSC NCAA NCAA National Year Overall Home GSC Tourn.

RIDDLE-PACE FIELD

Continued improvements to Riddle-Pace Field, along with the addition of the Lott Baseball Complex, give Troy University the top baseball facility in the Sun Belt Conference and one of the best in the nation. Original renovations to Riddle-Pace Field were completed in time for the 2002 season, with the latest phase of improvements made in time for the 2008 season. 2009 marked another landmark in the history of the facility as the Trojans hosted, for the first time, the Sun Belt Conference Championship Tournament. Riddle-Pace Field is a beautiful facility constructed of red brick and exposed steel beams, which complement the attractive architecture already found on the Troy University campus. The stadium was designed to ensure outstanding sightlines and comfort for fans, as well as meet the needs of the country’s finest TOP 25 CROWDS (DIVISION 1) college baseball players.

a new elevator in the Lott Baseball Complex. Once inside, the Stadium provides 300 chairback seats and 1,700 bleacher seats. Approximately 30 percent of the stadium seating behind home plate is covered by an awning for protection from the sun or rain. The addition of the Lott Baseball Complex in 2008 includes locker room facilities for the Trojans, coaches offices, a new scoreboard with additional advertising opportunities, a covered batting cage and a new outfield wall. Prior to 2002, the last major renovation to the stadium came prior to the 1991 season when the infield was dug up, leveled and rebuilt with new sod and a complete irrigation system. Prior to that, Triple-A quality lighting was installed in time for the 1987 campaign.

RIDDLE-PACE FIELD After years of planning, fundraising, sacrifices and hard work, the Troy University baseball program ushered in a new era on April 16, 2008, with the official opening of the Lott Baseball Complex. The late Jerry Lott was inducted into the Troy Baseball Hall of Fame in the fall of 2007. Mrs. Lott currently serves in many roles at Troy University, both as a current member of the Troy Planned Giving Council, and as a founding member of the Troy Shield Society. Mr. and Mrs. Lott, along with their children Mike and Janet, were instrumental in making the Lott Baseball Complex go from a mere vision to reality. The Lott Baseball Complex at Riddle-Pace Field is a state of the art baseball complex that rivals any in the nation. The new complex features indoor batting cages, new locker rooms for the players and umpires as well as a player lounge and meeting area. The facility also provides new offices for the Troy coaching staff. “We are very proud of our facility and very appreciative to those who helped us achieve this goal,” Trojan coach Bobby Pierce said. “This is a magnificent place and it is going to serve us well.” In addition to the Lott Complex, numerous upgrades were made to Riddle-Pace Field. Among the highlights is a new home dugout, built into the ground floor of the Lott Complex, a new home bullpen area and a new artificial playing surface. The new playing surface is now lit by a state-of-the art lighting system that provides the Trojans with the absolute best lighting for night games. No other college facility in the country can match the lighting available at Riddle-Pace Field. The final touch is a new outfield wall that included a “monster” in right field and a state-of-the-art scoreboard and sound system built into the wall in right-center field. The wall in left field was lowered and future plans call for construction behind the wall, creating a fan-friendly seating and tailgate area. The new playing surface gives the Trojans an opportunity to spend more time on the field, even on days where inclement weather would

have, in the past, forced practice or games to be cancelled. The field drains water at an incredible rate of 10 inches per hour meaning that, in the future, rainouts of Troy home games will be a very rare occurrence. Since the completion of the Lott Complex at Riddle-Pace Field, plans are in place for the next phase of improvements and renovations that will take the facility to a level on par with the best college baseball facilities in the nation. Plans call for an expansion of seating down the right-field line that will bring capacity to more than 4,000. The expanded seating will also include a new sunken dugout on the first base line that will match the home dugout as well as locker room space for visiting teams. Finally, the next phase calls for the construction of 12-15 luxury sky boxes to give Troy baseball fans an opportunity to enjoy all the best amenities while cheering the Trojans to victory. As we continue to make improvements to Riddle-Pace Field all Trojan fans are needed to do their part to make this and other projects become a reality. By contributing to the Troy Baseball Capital Campaign, fans will be helping the University, the student-athletes and coaches achieve at the highest level of success possible. To contribute to the Troy University Baseball Capital Campaign contact the Athletics Department at 334-670-3482.

DR. JACK HAWKINS, JR. University Chancellor 28th year

University of Montevallo, ‘67

Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., a native of Mobile, Alabama, was named Chancellor of Troy University Sept. 1, 1989. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Montevallo and his doctorate from the University of Alabama. Upon completion of his bachelor’s degree in 1967, Hawkins was commissioned a lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps and served as a platoon leader during the Vietnam War. For his combat duty, he received the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and a citation from the Korean Marine Corps. Hawkins has overseen an era of change and growth at TROY, as he led the merger of the worldwide Troy State University System into the unified Troy University, an initiative called “One Great University.” More than $250 million has been invested in capital improvements by the Hawkins Administration, including new academic buildings on all four of TROY’s Alabama campuses. Chancellor Hawkins served as the catalyst for the University’s evolution to an international institution, as TROY has attracted record numbers of students from other nations and established teaching sites around the world. During his tenure, academic standards for admission have been increased, new degree programs were established in all academic colleges, and intercollegiate athletics joined the highest level of NCAA competition.

Dr. Hawkins was recognized with the Chief Executive Leadership Award presented by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and as the March of Dimes River Region Citizen of the Year. In 2012 he received the Distinguished Public Service Award from the Secretary of the Air Force for his service on the Air University Board of Visitors from 2004-2012. In 2014 he was one of nine university presidents/chancellors worldwide—and the only one in North America—to receive the World Confucius Institute’s Individual Performance Excellence Award. Three buildings are named in his honor: the “Jack and Janice Hawkins Chapel” at the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind, the “Hawkins-Adams-Long Hall of Honor” and “Jack Hawkins, Jr. Hall” which serves the College of Education of Troy University. Hawkins was profiled as part of two books published in 2004: “Above and Beyond: Former Marines Conquer the Civilian World” by Rudy Socha and Carolyn Darrow and “The Entrepreneurial College President” by James L. Fisher and James V. Koch.

He has also served as a trustee of Talladega College, the Helen Keller Eye Research Foundation, and the American Foundation for the Blind. He is a member of the Troy Rotary Club. Dr. Hawkins’ family includes his wife, Janice, and daughters Katie and Kelly. Katie is married to Capt. Dan Beall of the United States Air Force and the couple has a son, Noah and a daughter, Ellyotte.

JEREMY McCLAIN Athletics Director 2nd Year Delta State, ‘02

Jeremy McClain was named Troy University’s Director of Athletics on Aug. 14, 2015, following three years as the Deputy Director of Athletics at Southern Miss. “We selected Jeremy McClain from a deep pool of applicants that included senior administrators from every major athletic conference in the nation,” Troy University Chancellor Dr. Hawkins said. “He has the right combination of experience, passion and leadership skills that we were seeking in our new AD. I am certain Jeremy will build on an already solid foundation and take TROY’s program to an unprecedented level of success.” McClain’s first year in office saw Troy student-athletes succeed in the classroom at historic levels. Trojan student-athletes recorded a 3.02 cumulative grade point average with 11 of the 15 programs finishing the academic year with a 3.0 GPA or higher. Thirty-five Troy student-athletes recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA for the 2016 spring semester and Troy’s student-athletes posted a higher GPA than the general student population.

replacement, baseball weight room project, a golf practice facility and the basketball arena renovation project. McClain, 40, also oversaw Southern Miss’ football scheduling and secured future home games against Mississippi State, Kentucky and BYU. He headed the search committee that tabbed Todd Monken to lead the Southern Miss football team and assisted in the search process for men’s basketball head coach Doc Sadler in 2014. Prior to his time at Southern Miss, McClain served as Director of Athletics at Delta State University for five-plus years, beginning in 2007. While at Delta State, McClain developed a plan to increase student-athlete services and assist in personal development of the school’s 350 student-athletes through the expansion of the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

McClain also led the Athletic Department’s development of a new strategic plan to lay the groundwork for the future of the department.

McClain also increased donations to the school’s athletic department, securing funding for the first phase of DSU’s Athletic Master Plan, as well as for a scoreboard renovations at the football, baseball, softball and basketball facilities. Delta State’s on-field successes also increased under McClain. During his tenure, the Statesmen and Lady Statesmen claimed seven Gulf South Conference championships, five NCAA Regional crowns and 21 NCAA postseason appearances. In 2010, the football team appeared in the NCAA Division II National Championship Game and in 2012 the baseball team earned a runnerup finish at the NCAA Division II College World Series.

Troy won a pair of Sun Belt Conference championships during his first year as the women’s basketball and men’s golf programs won their first-ever Sun Belt titles and advanced to the NCAA postseason.

Prior to becoming Director of Athletics, McClain was the Director of Development for the Delta State University Foundation, where he was responsible for the annual fund, as well as soliciting major gifts.

At Southern Miss, McClain oversaw the day-to-day operations of the Athletics Department, which featured over 100 employees and a $24 million budget. Additionally, McClain was responsible for revenue generation, which included licensing, corporate development, fundraising and ticket sales.

McClain earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Delta State in 1999, where he was a Division II All-American in baseball. He also earned his M.B.A. from Delta State in 2002. After graduation, he played five years of professional baseball.

As the primary fundraiser for the Golden Eagles, McClain led a staff that set records in 2013 for the annual fund ($2 million) and the overall Southern Miss Athletic Foundation ($8 million). He was also responsible for securing funding and supervising several major facility projects – track renovation, football turf

He is married to the former Christie Cannon of Calhoun City, Miss., and the couple has three children, son Cannon (11), and daughters Kate (8) and Piper (5).

Additionally, McClain dedicated his first year at Troy to improving the fan experience with the implementation of several new gameday initiatives, the unveiling of a new ticketing system and spearheading a redesign of the Athletics website, TroyTrojans.com.
