ON THE COVER The Wayne State University Warriors, the defending Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champions, will be led into the 2011 season by seniors (pictured left to right) Brett Shankin, Caleb Dalman, Tyler Loehr, co-captain Michael Wiseman, and Matt Rustulka. MISSION STATEMENT Wayne State University believes that intercollegiate athletics are an important and wholesome adjunct to the principal purposes of the University: (1) the advancement of knowledge through research and investigation; and (2) the dissemination of knowledge through teaching. To that end, participants in intercollegiate athletics must be, first and foremost, students whose fundamental aim is to obtain a sound education. A major mission of the University is to achieve an increasing level of excellence in the quality of its programs and to enhance the visibility and recognition of the University as a whole. Students who participate in intercollegiate athletics are directly involved in the implementation of this mission of excellence, and by such participation, provide a unifying objective of community and University. Wayne State University believes that a well-balanced program in intercollegiate sports is important so long as it remains in proper focus as an ancillary of the real purposes of the University; so long as it remains under academic control; so long as the players are bona fide students; and so long as the coaches strive to instill qualities of honesty, sportsmanship and clean play.

WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS • SINCE 1918


2011 SEASON OUTLOOK The images and emotions tied to the GLIAC championship run of the 2010 Wayne State Warriors are still fresh in the minds of many, including Ryan Kelley, who was voted GLIAC Coach of the Year after just his second season at the helm of the WSU baseball program. However, Kelley is primarily a forward-thinker by nature, and his philosophy leads him, his staff and his student-athletes to find ways to improve on and off the field, even after a 32-win season. “It’s a big process to win a championship, and a lot of little things go into it,” said Kelley. “The way we’ve been able to tie that championship into the future is to use it as motivation. “We have targets on our backs as the champions, and we have to defend that title.” Kelley puts significant emphasis on leadership for all of his players, but particularly when it comes to selecting captains. This season, redshirt senior Michael Wiseman - a two-year captain - and redshirt junior Phil Swanson will fit that role. “Both are legitimate representatives of our baseball program and our university. Both are outstanding students and do very well in the community,” said Kelley. “They have done a good job of communicating and being an extension of the coaching staff. They also have a deep understanding of what it means to be a teammate within this program.” Leadership is not limited to the captains, however. Kelley will rely heavily on his upperclassmen, particularly the five seniors, to guide the Warriors back to the postseason in 2011. Among the seniors are three pitchers. Tyler Loehr and Brett Shankin are the most experienced starters in the rotation and will set the tone for the rest of the pitching corps. “Tyler has taken on the role as leader of the pitching staff,” said Kelley. “Based on his ability, experience, and demeanor, there is a good chance in that first game he’ll have the ball in his hand.” Named a Preseason “Player to Watch” by the ABCA AllAmerica Committee, Loehr went 6-1 with a 4.50 ERA and 36 strikeouts last year. He was voted to the All-GLIAC Second

PHIL SWANSON

BASEBALL Team, posting a 5-0 record against conference opponents. Shankin was also a six-game winner last year, striking out 53 and going the distance five times. His most crucial complete-game performance came in the championship game of the GLIAC Tournament, fanning seven in a 7-6 comeback victory over Ashland. “We need a big year out of Loehr and Shankin,” said Kelley. Kelley feels that there is a crowd of talented pitchers who will compete for additional spots in the starting rotation, including senior Matt Rustulka and junior Josh Wedesky, two right-handers who will need to continue to establish consistency on the mound. Rustulka battled back from an injury in his first season as a Warrior to make eight relief appearances. Wedesky recovered from a rocky start to the year (0-3, 15.00 ERA in first four appearances) to post a 2-1 record and a 4.18 ERA in his next eight games. Billy Hurley also joined the Warriors last season and appeared in 16 games including two starts. He had a 6.41 ERA in 26.2 innings of work. Left-hander Alex Pierse pitched in eight games as a freshman in 2010. Another lefty coming in is freshman Jeff Sorenson, a versatile player who Kelley feels can make an impact. Sorenson batted .427 with a school-record 12 home runs and 50 RBI as a senior at Livonia Stevenson, and went 5-2 on the mound with a 1.02 ERA and 90 strikeouts. “He has some significant skills, he throws with some velocity, and he has good mound presence. He also swings the bat very well so we have to see how he handles that dual role.” Freshman Kirk Stambaugh is another player who enjoyed a solid all-around high school career. He posted a 9-1 record as the ace of the staff which led Sylvania Southview to the regional semifinals in 2010. He also batted .400 with five homers and 32 RBI as a senior. “Stambaugh has been throwing strikes like crazy,” said Kelley. “He’s very effective.” Kelley is encouraged by the pitching depth at his disposal this season, as Stambaugh and others will bolster the bullpen this season and possibly compete for starts. Redshirt junior Justin Sylvester, who appeared in seven games last season, “will be in a leadership position as a reliever,” said Kelley. Redshirt freshmen Brock Bates and Corey Post will look to establish roles after sitting out last season, while Matt Mahalak, Christian Bilkovic and transfer Keaton LeBlanc give WSU additional options from the left side. “From what we’ve seen at our level, if a left-handed pitcher can be consistent on the mound, he has a very good chance of being successful,” said Kelley. The Warriors ranked second in the GLIAC last year in both team batting average (.350) and fielding percentage (.952). Hitting and defense will again be key components to the success of the 2011 squad. “I think to be successful defensively, you need to have a good core up the middle,” said Kelley. The foundation for that up-the-middle core is Wiseman, a two-time All-GLIAC First Team honoree and a 2011 ABCA Preseason All-America catcher who has led the conference each of the last two years in runners caught stealing. He has a .981 career fielding percentage to compliment the

KYLE VESEY

statistics which indicate his offensive prowess - .357 career batting average, 20 home runs, 143 RBI, 180 hits, and a .563 slugging percentage over three years. “I think Mike has a chance to establish himself as one of the best catchers in Wayne State history,” said Kelley. Second baseman Andrew Ciennik, a two-time All-GLIAC selection, improved upon his solid freshman year numbers by hitting .324 with 57 hits and 28 RBI as a sophomore last season. He posted a .959 fielding percentage with 124 assists in 2010 as well. Perhaps lost in the hype surrounding now-graduated corner outfielders Ryan LaPensee and Paul LaMantia, who both hit over .400 and combined to set six singleseason and seven career records last year, was the impact of centerfielder Kyle Vesey, as he hit .352 with a .512 slugging percentage, scored 37 runs and made just two errors all season (.981). Kelley has high expectations for both juniors as they play key positions up the middle. “I need to see those types of guys, like Ciennik and Vesey, pick up where guys like LaMantia and LaPensee left off, fitting into that leadership mold.” Many of the other positions around the diamond are open for competition, including shortstop. Redshirt senior Caleb Dalman made 29 starts at short in 2010 and batted .307 with 23 runs scored before suffering an injury near the end of last season. “He has to get back in game rhythm if he wants to solidify the shortstop role again, and the good thing about Caleb is he has the mental ability to do that,” said Kelley. “He has significant experience, he’s a senior and he knows what it takes.” Competing with Dalman is Cameron Walker, who Kelley feels has, “some of the best athletic ability on our team.” Walker made 12 starts at shortstop and also pitched in two games as a freshman. Alex Trojan started 48 games at third base last season, batting .339 with 11 doubles and 31 RBI. His defense improved as the year progressed, as he committed just three errors over the final 24 games (.950).

BASEBALL Another option for Kelley at third is J.J. Ciennik, the older brother of Andrew who played in eight games before missing the remainder of the 2010 season to battle Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. With a clean bill of health for 2011, Ciennik continues to inspire his teammates and coaches and is making strides towards playing regularly this season. Less of a certainty is who will replace the graduated John Skaggs, the GLIAC’s all-time leader in fielding percentage, at first base. “Skaggs played an extraordinary first base for us last year, and now we need someone to fill his role,” said Kelley. Among the candidates is Ryan Buter, a transfer who had a tremendous season at Kellogg Community College last year. Buter tied for the national lead in NJCAA Division II with 28 doubles and batted .431 with seven home runs, 52 RBI and 49 runs scored. Bobby Thomas, who redshirted last year at WSU, could also play first base this season. J.J. Ciennik may see time there as a utility man, and even Wiseman has some experience at first. There are several contenders to join Vesey in the outfield this season. Swanson will look to earn an outfield spot after spending hitting over .300 in each of two seasons primarily as a designated hitter. Kelley liked what he saw this past fall from Ohio University transfer C.J. Maszal, who is projected to play right field. Others who will have opportunities include

2011 SEASON OUTLOOK/SCHEDULE

Justin DeFrancis, who was injured the first week of last season and missed the remainder; Brad Guenther, who made 21 starts as the DH, batted .333 with 20 runs scored, and will also back up Wiseman at catcher; and redshirt freshmen Chris Gebara and Chike Springer. “We have some guys that we can plug into certain positions, now we just have to find out who adapts well in game situations,” said Kelley. Others returning in 2011 are Josh Schafer, who played in 11 games and started eight behind the plate; Eric Ramaekers, who serves as the bullpen catcher; utility infielder Henry Schneider; and redshirt freshman A.J. Matos. Three newcomers round out the 36-man roster. Adrian transfer Brent Weil batted .485 at Marine City High School in 2009 and was a two-time all-state selection. Freshman Mark Lepri was an all-star in 2010 who hit .417 with six homers as a senior at Utica Eisenhower. Kasey Koster, who attended Purdue North Central last year, played the two previous seasons with Kalamazoo Valley Community College. He tied for second in NJCAA Division II with 25 doubles in 2009, and finished second on the team to DeFrancis with a .429 batting average. Before the 2011 Warriors embark on a 36-game GLIAC schedule which features two new teams to the conference in Ohio Dominican and Lake Erie, they will open the season with road trips to Georgia and Florida.

Wayne State will play four games in the Armstrong Atlantic Savannah Invitational, opening the season Feb. 25 against Missouri-St. Louis, the alma mater of WSU hitting coach Logan Hughes. WSU will again participate in the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational, March 10-16, with a nine-inning game March 15 at Tampa mixed in. Including UMSL, seven of Wayne State’s 10 nonconference opponents are in-region foes, which Kelley knows will be important when it comes time to select teams for the NCAA Regionals in May. “Ultimately on our first two trips we have 14 games scheduled, which is going to be good preparation for the GLIAC, as we have some really good competition and we’ll be playing a lot of games in a short period of time,” said Kelley. “We’re going to find out what we’re made of in the first few weeks of the season.” With the NCAA shortening the baseball schedule to 50 games, WSU is not slated to face any non-GLIAC teams after returning from Florida, which Kelley believes, “will be a positive because we can just focus directly on our conference play. “We treat our conference games with a lot of respect, and we have to prepare hard for every team in our conference. Even though it’s 36 games, it can come down to the difference of one game.” For evidence of that, look no further than last year’s standings, which saw WSU (23-8) finish with a half-game edge over Grand Valley State (23-9) for the regular-season title. However, despite Wayne State’s conference championships in 2010, it was the Lakers who enjoyed a longer postseason run, falling in the finals of the NCAA Midwest Regional to Southern Indiana, the 2010 Division II national champion. With that in mind, Kelley’s goals are to not only defend the conference title and reach the regional final, but to play on the final day of the NCAA Tournament. “We always strive for the national championship. Our thought process around here is that if you strive for the best, you usually end up with that. “If we work hard to pursue the ultimate goal, I think the rest will fall into place.”

WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS • SINCE 1918


ATHLETIC DIRECTOR ROB FOURNIER

It has been a decade (1 September 2000) since Rob Fournier was named Director of Athletics at Wayne State University. A lot has changed in those ten (10) years including the department’s competitive success, classroom achievements, outreach initiatives in the community and the physical structure of the athletic campus. That development has followed a plan that focuses on positive opportunities for today’s student-athletes and supporters. The results have been telling. Wayne State University’s ten (10) best finishes in the prestigious NACDA Cup standings (which measures the overall competitive success of athletic programs around the country) have all occurred in the last 10 years including the two highest marks ever in the past two years – eleventh (11th) in 2009 and twenty-first (21st) in 2010. Those respective finishes secured that WSU would finish in the top four and top seven percent of all Division II athletic programs in those respective seasons. Nine of sixteen (16) athletic teams advanced to the NCAA tournament last season. In those 10 years WSU has catapulted over 100 places in the NACDA rankings. Additionally, in those 10 years, 32 WSU coaches have been named Conference Coach of the Year while three have gone on to be distinguished as National Coach of the Year. For his efforts, Fournier was honored by NACDA as the Athletics Director of the Year in the Central Region in 2008. Also in 2009-10, the athletic department celebrated the naming of 29 All-Americans. Not surprisingly, the 133 AllAmericans that have been honored nationally in the past four years are the most in any like period and coincidently exceed any 10-year period in the 93 years of WSU athletics. Last year was also a record-setting year academically and in the community. The Fall (2009) term’s cumulative gradepoint average for all student-athletes was 3.08 while the Winter term’s mark was also 3.08. Thirteen (13) of WSU’s sixteen (16) athletic programs had cumulative grade-point averages above 3.00. In addition, in only nine months, WSU student-athletes contributed an exemplary 7,429 community service hours volunteering at a variety of Detroit initiatives. The rise in

BASEBALL

both academic average and community outreach has been dramatic, consistent and unprecedented. In addition, in the latest federally-mandated graduation rate report, WSU student-athletes received an undergraduate degree at a rate 20 percent higher than the comparable campus population. These, and other academic achievements, are recognized at the annual academic banquet, which he started in 2001. Fournier’s ability to generate private and corporate support has dramatically altered the physical setting of the athletic campus and the practice/competitive opportunities for WSU student-athletes. In his 10 years, he has secured $8,549,957 (9/1/10) in revenue excluding an additional 1.374 million in deferred gifts. That total has helped complete the following facility initiatives: football locker room; baseball’s replica Fenway Park baseball stadium which displays the former Tiger Stadium scoreboard on its famous “Green Monster facade; men’s and women’s basketball locker rooms; softball grandstand, walkway and press box; a Boston Garden-like parquet floor for basketball; Hall of Fame foyer; swimming video board, pool deck and bleachers in the natatorium; football ticket booths and stadium entrance; outdoor marquee; FieldTurf and a new track; scoreboards for baseball and football with a video display; trainer’s treatment area; new USTA tennis courts; and a design charette for a new arena. The physical transformation has been both noticeable and imaginative and boasts a number of cosmetic infrastructure changes as well.

In the past six years alone, student-athletes have committed nearly 27,000 community service hours with such programs as St. Leo’s and St. Aloysius soup kitchens, Motor City Makeover, Make-A-Wish, Relay for Life, canned food drives, Boys and Girls Club, Toys-for-Tots, Skate for the Cure, Genesis House, Focus Hope and Big Brothers/Big Sisters. In particular, the Think Detroit/PAL initiative pairs WSU student-athletes and coaches with over 13,000 Detroit school children in a variety of program and outreach activities. All this is accomplished under the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, one of the first in the conference. Fournier

has also initiated an outreach effort for coaches and staff to volunteer one day a month to a charitable cause in a program labeled WIN -- Warriors in the Neighborhood. Fournier served three years as a member of the NCAA regional-ranking football committee whose responsibilities include selecting the top teams in the region each week and the teams that advance to the postseason. This year will be his third on the NCAA softball regional ranking committee. He currently serves as the chair of the GLIAC officiating committee and is past President of the Conference Executive Committee. In women’s hockey, he served as the chair of the Structure Committee and a member of the Executive Committee.

Prior to joining Wayne State, Fournier served as the Senior Associate Commissioner and general counsel for the Mid-American Conference. While serving as the acting Commissioner of the Conference (1999), he moved the league office from Toledo to Cleveland, wrote and secured a long-term contract for the men’s basketball tournament at the Gund Arena (now Quicken Loans Arena) and secured the three largest corporate gifts in the history of the MAC including First Energy as the tournament sponsor for the men’s postseason basketball tournament. He also wrote and negotiated the Motor City Bowl football contract that is the MAC’s longest post-season Bowl alignment. As the chief compliance officer for the league, Fournier investigated and reported on over 350 infraction cases that insured fairness in case resolution and corrective action. At the request of institutions, he has appeared before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and conducted campus reviews of compliance effectiveness in financial aid, rules education, eligibility and institutional control. He has served as liaison to various NCAA committees for which the conference held cabinet positions. The MAC presidents recognized Fournier’s achievements when they unanimously conferred a Certificate of Commendation and a mark of esteem for his efforts in 1999. A licensed attorney, he received his bachelor’s degree summa cum laude and his master’s with honors from the University of Akron. He was a national forensics champion and qualified for the national finals in six events. Fournier received his law degree from Akron in 1986 and was admitted to the Ohio bar that same year where he is still licensed to practice.

Ryan Kelley, who served six seasons on the Warriors’ staff including three as WSU’s pitching coach prior to being named head coach in September 2008, enters his third year at the helm in the 2011 season. Kelley is the ninth head coach in the 71-year history of the Wayne State University baseball program. Kelley was chosen as the 2010 GLIAC Coach of the Year as his squad won 32 games, earned the GLIAC regularseason and tournament championships, and advanced to the NCAA Regional for the third time since 2005. In 2009, Kelley guided the team to 25 victories, as he broke his predecessor Jay Alexander’s record for most wins by a firstyear coach in program history. Since Kelley was named head coach, Wayne State as a team has established eight new offensive records and produced five top-10 pitching records. “I look forward to Ryan building on our successes in baseball,” noted WSU Director of Athletics Rob Fournier following Kelley’s promotion. “The committee considered some outstanding candidates and there is no doubt that our program has risen in stature. In the end, Ryan’s familiarity with our system, his strong work habits and active role in building our program the last six years, was a significant factor. I look forward to working with him to move our baseball team into an elite echelon.” After earning a bachelor of science degree from the University of Michigan, Kelley graduated with his master’s from Wayne State University in sports administration. In the summer of 2004, Kelley became a community director within the WSU Office of Housing & Residential Life, a position he held until taking over as the athletic department’s academic coordinator from February 2006 until his promotion to head baseball coach. Originally from Northville, Kelley was a four-year pitcher at Michigan (1996-1999). He would help the Wolverines win the 1997 Big Ten Championship and the 1999 Big Ten Tournament Championship. Following the 1997 season, Kelley was a pitcher in the Alaskan Central Collegiate baseball league for the Mat-Su Minors.

Kelley played high school ball at Dearborn Divine Child where he earned all-state and honorable mention preseason All-America honors. He also completed a graduate assistant position with the Detroit Lions and has worked in Wayne State’s sports information department. In addition, he completed a graduate assistantship with Stanford University’s athletic department. “I am very honored and humbled to be named the head baseball coach at Wayne State University,” said Kelley. “I would like to thank Rob and the search committee for their efforts during this selection process. In addition, I would like to thank our former head coach Jay Alexander for giving me the opportunity to join the baseball staff six seasons ago. I look forward to continuing to build on the successful momentum that Coach Alexander initiated. “Moving into the next chapter of WSU baseball we are eager for continued success. With the current players in place, our fantastic new dugouts, and the resources available to our student-athletes we look forward to an exciting future. We will continue to prepare to win both on and off the field. It is my goal that our Warrior baseball student-athletes will continue to serve as leaders in our community efforts, achieve academic prosperity, learn how to strive for and accomplish our goals on the diamond, while also preparing for a successful life after graduation. Ultimately, our student-athletes will come to realize the importance of working together as a team in a family environment and be proud to wear the name of Wayne State University across the front of our jerseys.” In his six seasons as an assistant coach at WSU, the Warriors compiled a 161-148 record (.521 winning percentage), won two GLIAC regular-season titles, made

HEAD COACH RYAN KELLEY four GLIAC tournament appearances, and advanced to the NCAA Regional twice. The 2008 squad set the WSU record for wins (34), while coming within one win of advancing to the NCAA Division II Championship round. Over his entire career at Wayne State, the baseball program has received 85 Academic All-GLIAC selections, 47 All-GLIAC awards and 29 All-Region honors. In 2008, Anthony Bass and Adam Kaminski became the first WSU baseball All-Americans in 30 years. In addition, five players under Kelley’s watch have signed professional contracts with Major League Baseball organizations - Ryan LaPensee (Arizona Diamondbacks, 2010), Justin Mazur (Kansas City Royals, 2010), Bass (San Diego Padres, 2008), Steve Squires (Chicago White Sox, 2005), and Randy Surratt (Chicago White Sox, 2004). Kelley’s squad is also very involved in the local community. Since the 2008-09 school year the baseball team has completed approximately 2,400 community service hours through a number of outreach programs in Metro Detroit. In 2009, student-athlete Caleb Dalman received the distinguished WSU Service Leader Award. Kelley also serves on the Board of Directors with the Swing 4 Fences Foundation.

2010 GLIAC CHAMPIONSHIP RYAN LAPENSEE (LEFT) HITS TWO HOME RUNS IN TITLE GAME VS. ASHLAND

2010 REVIEW


BASEBALL December 16 The left field scoreboard from historic Tiger Stadium was installed on the Green Monster at the WSU baseball field. The scoreboard, preserved by the Detroit Historical Society, was a prominent part of Tiger Stadium until the facility was demolished in the fall of 2009. January 20 Junior catcher Michael Wiseman and senior outfielder Ryan LaPensee were recognized as Preseason All-Americans by the American Baseball Coaches Association’s NCAA Division II All-America Committee. In addition, senior outfielder Paul LaMantia was deemed a “Player to Watch.”

March 19 The Warriors, who three days prior had to cancel their doubleheader at Northwood due to poor field conditions, opened their conference and home schedule with a 12-11 comeback victory over Ashland. LaMantia’s walk-off tworun single in the bottom of the ninth capped off a six-run rally over the final three innings of the three hour, 36 minute marathon. Wayne State totaled 20 hits in the win, its first 20-plus hit performance since May 16, 2008 against the Eagles in the NCAA Regionals. March 23 In the first game back at WSU for former head coach Jay Alexander and assistant coach Andrew Maki, who were in their second season in those roles at Eastern Michigan, the Warriors rallied in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings but ultimately fell, 10-8, in the 10th to the Eagles. Wiseman’s two-out, three-run homer tied the game at 8-8 in the ninth.

February 20 The Warriors opened their 2010 season with a pair of 5-1 wins at West Georgia. Justin Mazur and Brett Shankin each tossed their second career complete-game victories, and Alex Trojan finished with six RBI in the doubleheader. February 21 In the third game of the series at UWG, LaPensee became WSU’s all-time leader in runs scored when he crossed home plate for the 135th time in his career, surpassing Bobby Marten (2002-05). Wayne State lost game three, 6-5, but won the series finale, 7-1, as Wiseman finished 9-for-12 on the weekend. February 27 Mazur posted his second straight complete-game victory, fanning eight in a 11-3 win at Drury. In his first collegiate game, Brad Guenther went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored. Later in the day, as WSU lost to Augustana, 6-4, LaPensee became the fourth WSU player in history to reach the 200-hit plateau for his career. March 10 Wayne State was picked to finish in third place according to the GLIAC preseason coaches’ poll. The Warriors received 37 points in the voting, trailing Grand Valley State (48) and Ashland (42). March 15 After having its first five games at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational rained out, Wayne State lost its next four on the Spring Break trip before ending it with a 9-8 win over Minnesota-Duluth. The Bulldogs scored six times in the top of the sixth inning, but Wayne State responded with seven runs in the bottom half. LaMantia and Cameron Walker each drove in a pair of runs as part of the rally. March 18 Wiseman and Mazur received the first GLIAC Player and Pitcher of the Week awards of the 2010 season.

March 24 LaPensee became WSU’s all-time hits leader in a 5-4 victory over Tiffin in the first game of a doubleheader. His single in the fifth inning was his 216th career hit, surpassing former shortstop Frank Jeney (2002-05). The Warriors swept the twinbill with a 3-1 win in the second game. March 27 Shankin tossed a three-hit shutout as Wayne State earned a 7-0 victory at Findlay to open a weekend series. LaPensee, Kyle Vesey and Andrew Ciennik had two hits apiece. March 31 Mazur improved to 4-0 with his fourth complete-game win of the year, a 6-4 result at Ashland in which both Wiseman and Caleb Dalman homered. Wayne State went on to sweep the doubleheader with a 4-3 win in the second game, as Tyler Loehr struck out a season-high six and Kyle Vesey hit his second home run of the year. April 2 The Warriors’ bats began to heat up in April with a 10-4 win over Northwood to open a four-game set. LaMantia, Vesey, and Wiseman – who hit a grand slam – all homered in Brady Cooper’s second win of the year. Alex Pierse picked up his first collegiate victory in relief as WSU won game two, 9-5.

2010 SEASON TIMELINE April 3 Posting its highest run total in nearly two years and its highest hit total of the decade (24), Wayne State routed Northwood, 21-5, in a nine-inning game to begin a doubleheader. John Skaggs had a four-hit game, including a double and two home runs, as well as six RBI. The Warriors extended their winning streak to six games with a 16-14 triumph in the series finale. LaPensee finished a single short of the cycle, driving in five runs and scoring three times. In total, Wayne State scored 56 runs and had 69 hits in the four-game series. April 7 One day after having their winning streak snapped at Eastern Michigan, the Warriors battled through rain to defeat Hillsdale, 17-5. Vesey went 4-for-4, LaMantia drove in four runs, and Mazur improved to 5-0 with his fifth complete game of the season. April 11 Behind Cooper’s nine-inning complete game, the Warriors finished off a three-game sweep of Saginaw Valley State with a 7-2 win on Senior Day. Wayne State, which outscored SVSU, 23-9, in the series, scored six times in the eighth inning to win their 10th straight conference game. April 14 Wayne State extended its GLIAC winning streak to 12 games, sweeping a twinbill against Grand Valley State. In game one, Guenther scored off a single by LaMantia in the 11th inning for a 7-6 triumph. Mazur received a nodecision despite striking out eight over 9.1 innings, but David White picked up the win after throwing 1.2 scoreless frames and fanning three. Five strong innings by Loehr and Wiseman’s sixth home run of the season contributed to a 4-1 win in the second game. April 18 Bouncing back from two losses at Tiffin the day before, the Warriors held on for a 1-0 victory as Cooper went the distance and struck out a career-high 12 batters. Vesey drove in the only run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. Cooper was subsequently named GLIAC Pitcher of the Week. April 21 In their final home doubleheader of the season, the Warriors swept Findlay by scores of 7-1 and 7-3. LaPensee went 4-for-4 with a home run and Mazur pitched a complete game and improved to 18-2 for his career in the opener. LaMantia, who homered in both games, went 3-for-4 with two RBI in the second contest as the first-place Warriors (25-14, 19-5 GLIAC) exceeded their 2009 conference win total and matched their 2009 overall win total. April 22 At the Wayne State Athletics Academic Recognition Luncheon, Cooper was presented with the Deans’ Award from the College of Education for the second straight year for having the highest cumulative grade-point average among all WSU student-athletes in that particular college during the fall semester.

WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS • SINCE 1918


2010 SEASON TIMELINE April 24 Wayne State opened a twinbill at Hillsdale with a 23-8 victory, as Dalman set career-highs with four hits, three RBI and five runs scored. LaMantia homered twice, Dalman and LaPensee each went deep once, and White broke the school record with his 50th career relief appearance. In game two, a 9-0 shutout, Josh Wedesky earned his first career victory by allowing just five hits and two walks while striking out five.

BASEBALL May 7 Wayne State advanced to the GLIAC title game for the first time in school history after defeating Ashland, 12-6. The Warriors hit three home runs, including LaMantia’s school record-setting 13th of the season, eclipsing Jason Copeland’s 1998 mark. LaMantia hit for the cycle as part of a 5-for-5 day.

April 28 LaPensee broke another WSU career record, becoming the all-time leader in total bases (355), surpassing Jon Weisman (2004-07) in a 3-2 loss at Saginaw Valley State. Wayne State salvaged a split with a 9-4 win, as Cooper earned his third straight complete-game victory and Wiseman hit his seventh home run of the season. May 1 Wayne State clinched its second GLIAC regular-season title in three years with a 14-11 win at GVSU, splitting a doubleheader. LaMantia went 4-for-5, hit his 11th home run of the season and drove in five runs, while White picked up his fourth save of the year by fanning Kyle Gendron, who had three hits and six RBI in the game. May 2 In another slugfest, a 14-10 loss to the Lakers to close the regular season, the first of LaPensee’s two doubles brought his season total to 78 hits, breaking Jeney’s 2005 singleseason record. LaPensee also reached 48 career doubles, moving him ahead of Weisman as WSU’s all-time leader. May 6 Ryan Kelley was named GLIAC Coach of the Year, and eight Warriors received All-GLIAC postseason honors, including Mazur who was voted Pitcher of the Year. Joining Mazur on the All-GLIAC First Team were LaMantia, LaPensee, White and Wiseman, giving WSU five First Team honorees for the first time since 1995. Cooper and Loehr received Second Team honors, while Skaggs and Ciennik were each voted Honorable Mention. Academically, the Warriors were recognized with three ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District IV College Division honors. Cooper was voted to the First Team, while LaMantia and Phil Swanson were Second Team selections. In the opening game of the GLIAC Tournament, Wayne State scored eight runs over its final three innings to secure a 9-8 comeback victory over SVSU. The Warriors totaled four runs in the bottom of the eighth, all with two outs after an error by SVSU shortstop Chase Coulter. LaPensee drove in the game-winning run, LaMantia tied the school record with his 12th homer of the year, and Ciennik hit a key two-run single in the eighth.

May 13 In a head-to-head matchup of the GLIAC and GLVC Pitchers of the Year, the Warriors came out on the losing end of a narrow 2-1 result in their NCAA Midwest Regional firstround game against Northern Kentucky. Kevin Jordan, who was working on a shutout until the ninth inning, and Mazur, who struck out three and allowed just four hits, both went the distance. Guenther drove in WSU’s lone run as the Warriors tried to mount a comeback in the final inning. On the same day, six Warriors – LaMantia, LaPensee, Cooper, Mazur, White and Andrew Ciennik – received Daktronics All-Region Second Team honors.

May 8 Wayne State claimed the program’s first GLIAC Tournament championship in dramatic fashion, overcoming a five-run deficit in the late innings to defeat Ashland, 7-6. LaPensee hit a pair of three-run homers to fuel the comeback, including one in the seventh inning which gave WSU the lead. Shankin earned the compete-game victory, striking out seven, as the top three hitters in the WSU order – Guenther, Ciennik and LaPensee – generated seven of the Warriors’ nine hits and scored all seven runs. LaPensee led Wayne State with a .583 average (712), nine RBI and six runs scored in the tournament. The Warriors, who came from behind in two of their three tournament wins, clinched a berth in the NCAA Midwest Regional for the third time since 2005. May 10 LaMantia was named WSU’s Most Valuable Player as Kelley and his staff held the 2010 Senior Recognition and Awards Banquet at the McGregor Memorial Conference Center on the WSU campus. LaPensee and Mazur were named Top Hitter and Pitcher, respectively, and Wiseman was chosen as the Best Defensive Player for the second straight year. Skaggs earned Most Improved Player honors, Swanson received the Weight Room Warrior Award, Tom Olson took the Warrior Award, and J.J. Ciennik was given the “Gary Chapp” Spirit Award for his inspirational impact on the team.

May 14 The 2010 season came to an end following a 12-10 loss to topseeded Southern Indiana at the NCAA Midwest Regional. The Warriors and Screaming Eagles combined to use nine pitchers in the slugfest. LaMantia went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored, Skaggs hit a solo homer as part of a 2-for-4 performance with two RBI and two runs, and Guenther, who led WSU with a .444 average in the postseason, collected two hits and three RBI. May 17 Five Warriors received American Baseball Coaches Association All-Region awards. LaPensee was voted to the ABCA All-Region First Team, while Cooper, Mazur, LaMantia and Wiseman were all named to the Second Team. May 20 All-Midwest Region awards continued to pour in for the Warriors, as LaMantia was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association All-Region First Team. Earning Second Team accolades were LaPensee, Mazur, and Wiseman. Wayne State accumulated 15 All-Region honors altogether in 2010 between the NCBWA, the ABCA and Daktronics. June 18 Cooper was one of six male student-athletes in the conference to receive the GLIAC Spring Commissioner’s Award for academic and athletic excellence.

The nine-member senior class of 2010 enjoyed a moment together after the final home game of the season April 21 against Findlay. The four-year span of 2007-10 was the most successful in the 70-year history of WSU baseball, as the Warriors won a school-record 120 games and posted a program-best .580 winning percentage.

The Warriors volunteered at the Detroit Free Press Marathon last October, operating a fluid station along the race route. Baseball student-athletes donated over 1,000 hours of their time to community service initiatives during the 2009-10 academic year.

Wayne State and Saginaw Valley State faced off at V.A. Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe, Ohio, in the opening round of the 2010 GLIAC Tournament, the first postseason meeting between the Warriors and Cardinals since 2005.

GORDON RECK WSU ATHLETIC HALL OF FAMER ALL-TIME LEADER IN STRIKEOUTS/9 IP

HISTORY & RECORDS


BASEBALL The 2011 season will mark the 71st year of baseball at Wayne State University. In that time, WSU has won 1,043 games, claimed six conference championships as well as three regular-season titles, and made three appearances in the NCAA Regional tournament. The baseball program began in 1941 under head coach Joseph E. Truske, who led the Tartars to a 5-7 record in his first season. Wayne State Athletic Hall of Famer William “Rip” Collins became WSU’s first baseball All-American in 1946. Recording a .325 batting average as the squad’s second leading hitter and notching a lofty .625 slugging percentage, Collins also led the team in runs with 13, tied for the team lead in hits with 12, and registered a .956 fielding percentage as an outstanding catcher. After a four-year hiatus during which time Leo Maas took over, Truske returned to the team in 1946. The next season, Wayne State posted its first winning record (8-3), finishing in second place in its only year in the Mid-American Conference. The Tartars were guided through the latter half of the 1940s by standout players such as Ronald Teasley (1945, 1947), who holds the school’s single-season (.500) and career (.415) batting average records; John Wingo (1949-51), who totaled 87 strikeouts in three years and is the current school recordholder for fewest hits allowed per nine innings (5.74); and George Shuk (1946-49), who batted .375 over his four-year career including a .462 mark in 1947.

William Collins, Wayne State’s first baseball All-American, was inducted into the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1984.

Wayne State struggled through most of the following decade, but in 1959, one year after the team won a thenschool record 12 games, WSU posted a perfect 6-0 record in the Presidents Athletic Conference, winning the league title in Wayne State’s first season in the PAC and Truske’s final season at the helm. Leon Lande took over in 1960 and won 76 games over nine seasons. His teams featured some of the best pitchers in program history, including Bruce Finlayson (1966-69) and Hall of Famers Bob Kloss (1967-70) and Gordon Reck (196871). The trio possesses three of the top four career earned-run

40

averages ever recorded at Wayne State, the lowest belonging to Kloss (2.27). Reck, a lefty who walked on to the team in the late 1960s, set or tied 12 Wayne State pitching records during his career. He remains WSU’s all-time leader in career strikeouts per nine innings (11.22), while his records for innings pitched (224.2) and strikeouts (280) remained intact for over two decades. In 1971, Reck went 9-2 with a 1.52 ERA, and threw a no-hitter in a 2-1 victory over Buffalo as well as a one-hitter in a 1-0 win over Central Michigan. Reck’s career ended midway through the tenure of head coach Bob Samaras, who led the Tartars to 82 wins over five seasons. His .654 winning percentage (17-9) in 1969 is the third-highest in school history. Christ Petrouleas took over in 1974, and during his six-year tenure several All-Americans emerged, the first of which was Paul Janas, another Hall of Famer who garnered All-America status in 1974 – the first baseball player to do so since Collins – after batting .397 with a .504 slugging percentage and setting or matching five WSU single-season records. He also received Academic All-America honors in 1974 and 1975, the first Wayne State student-athlete in any sport to do so. Greg Brecht, another WSU Hall of Fame inductee, became an All-American in 1975 after hitting .342 with four home runs and 22 RBI. He hit seven homers in 1976, Wayne State’s first season in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, while driving in 32 runs and walking 33 times on his way to being named to the first All-GLIAC team. Three key components to the teams of the late 1970s were all inducted into the WSU Hall of Fame together in 1994. Dave Zelmanski (1975-78) hit .352 for his career and led the nation with nine triples in 1978, setting a school record. Kevin Ponticelli (1976-79) led the 1978 Tartars with a .411 batting average with a then-school record 34 RBI. Angelo Gust, who would take over as head coach in 1980, had been an assistant under Petrouleas since 1974. The 1978 team went 27-16 (.628) and set school records in batting average (.343) and triples (31) which still stand today. It wasn’t until the 1980s, however, that Wayne State would reach championship status. Gust led the Tartars to three straight 20-win seasons, including the 29-16 year of 1982. Wayne State won GLIAC Championships all three years, and Gust was named the conference Coach of the Year each season. As a head coach Gust compiled a 174-151-2 overall record in nine seasons, the highest winning percentage (.535) among the nine men who have directed the program. The Tartars had only two losing seasons under Gust, and four times cracked the 20-victory barrier. During Gust’s tenure eight of his nine teams had winning records in GLIAC play. Two-time All-GLIAC First Team selection Mark Limback (1979-82) was also named the league’s Player of the Year in 1982 after batting .405 with 11 home runs, a .741 slugging percentage and a school-record 56 runs batted in. Fellow Hall of Famer David Croskey (1979-82) supplemented his career .304 batting average with outstanding baserunning ability, swiping 112 bases including a single-season record 43 in 1982. The Tartars went 27-21 in 1987, but it would be the last time WSU finished with a winning record for 10 years.

TEAM HISTORY Rodger George’s 14-year career as head coach began in 1989. He won 272 games in his tenure, was named GLIAC Coach of the Year in 1998 after leading the Tartars to their fourth GLIAC title, and won a then school-record 32 games the following season in 1999. Several standout players left their mark on the program under George’s watch, including Hall of Fame catcher John Miele (1996-99), a two-time First Team All-GLIAC selection. He hit .424 in 1999, fifth-best in school history, with 54 RBI and a WSU-record 21 doubles on his way to being named the conference Player of the Year.

Former shortstop Frank Jeney was the 2005 GLIAC Player of the Year and WSU’s all-time hits leader until last season. He was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 2011.

Sadly, George passed away in October 2002 after a 10-month battle against brain cancer. Jay Alexander, a former Tartar and George’s assistant coach since 1998, was named the program’s eighth head coach in December. Alexander led WSU to its first NCAA Regional appearances in 2005 and 2008, winning 32 and a school-record 34 games in those seasons, respectively. The Warriors also achieved their first national ranking in program history in 2005. Frank Jeney (2002-05), the 2005 GLIAC Player of the Year, became Wayne State’s all-time hits leader, and Kyle Hill (200407) matched Hall of Famer Michael Newsted’s (1999-2001) career record of 24 victories. In addition, two pitchers were selected in the Major League Baseball draft under Alexander’s watch. Steve Squires was taken in the 49th round of the 2005 draft by the Chicago White Sox, and Anthony Bass was selected in the fifth round – highest ever for a WSU player – in 2008. Ryan Kelley, who took over following Alexander’s departure for Eastern Michigan, led WSU to 25 wins in 2009, the most under any first-year coach in program history. The following year, WSU went 32-20 and won the GLIAC regular-season and tournament championships. The Warriors went on to play in the NCAA Midwest Regional for the third time. With a prolific hitting lineup, the 2010 squad set eight team records, including: batting average (.350), runs (385), hits (590), doubles (110), slugging percentage (.506), extra-base hits (164) and total bases (852).

WARRIORS IN THE PROS

Former Wayne State University right-handed pitcher Anthony Bass was declared a non-roster invitee to the 2011 San Diego Padres spring training camp in Peoria, Ariz. Bass, a fifth-round draft pick of the Padres in 2008, went 8-7 last season for the Lake Elsinore Storm. He totaled 109 strikeouts, led the California League with a 3.13 ERA and was selected as both a Midseason and Postseason All-Star. In three professional seasons, he has a 22-13 record with a 2.86 ERA and 242 strikeouts over 81 games (54 starts). Bass, who pitched for Wayne State from 2006-08, was an All-American in 2008 and the GLIAC Pitcher of the Year. He was a two-time All-GLIAC First Team selection in his WSU career. Selected by the Padres with the 165th overall pick in 2008, Bass was the first Warrior drafted since Steve Squires in 2005, and the highest-drafted player in program history.

Last winter, two former Wayne State outfielders signed professional contracts, as Ryan LaPensee joined the Arizona Diamondbacks organization, while Paul LaMantia was signed by the Oakland County Cruisers in the Frontier League. LaPensee ended his collegiate career as Wayne State’s alltime leader in hits (279), runs scored (195), doubles (50), total bases (386), games played (200), and at bats (696). LaPensee posted a .401 career batting average, second-best all-time, and is the only player in Wayne State history to hit .400 or better three times in a career. As a senior in 2010, LaPensee broke single-season records for hits and runs scored, and was a First Team All-GLIAC and AllRegion selection. He batted .424 with 87 hits, 62 runs, seven homers, 48 RBI and 15 stolen bases. LaMantia’s road to a pro career has already taken an interesting turn. After signing with the Cruisers, the team announced that they will take a sabbatical from Frontier League play in 2011 while the club’s new 4,000-seat stadium is constructed in Waterford, Mich. A dispersal draft held Dec. 20 allowed other Frontier League teams to select players from the Cruisers’ roster. LaMantia was chosen in the second round by the River City Rascals, and will have an opportunity to make the 24-man roster this spring. LaMantia finished his two-year WSU career as the program’s all-time leader in slugging percentage (.639). Starting 51 games in left field last year, he set three single-season records (home runs - 13, RBI - 60, total bases - 137) and was a First Team All-GLIAC and three-time All-Region selection. LaMantia and LaPensee were the seventh set of teammates in WSU history to hit .400 in the same season.

Bass appeared in 25 games for the Eugene Emeralds in 2008 and went 2-2 with a 2.10 ERA. He accumulated seven saves, tied for fifth-most in the Northwest League, walked only 14 batters and totaled 41 strikeouts in 34.1 innings. The 2009 opening day starter for the Fort Wayne TinCaps, Bass fired 15 consecituve scoreless innings to start the season and earned his first of two Midwest League Pitcher of the Week awards. He went 9-3 with a 2.19 ERA and 69 strikeouts in 18 starts, and was selected as a Midseason All-Star before being called up to Lake Elsinore. He finished the 2009 season with the Storm and had a 3-0 record with a 3.51 ERA in 10 appearances. Bass led all minor leaguers in the Padres system with a 2.55 overall ERA in 2009. He also finished with the third-most victories (12) and the fifth-lowest WHIP (1.22).

A two-time All-GLIAC Second Team selection, Little completed his collegiate career tied with Kyle Hill for sixth all-time at WSU with 50 games pitched. He ranks ninth at Wayne State in strikeout/walk ratio (1.97), 11th in victories (14), 12th in starts (29), 13th in strikeouts (140), 14th in innings pitched (191.2) and 25th in earned run average (4.04).

WSU ACADEMICS

SERVICES AVAILABLE TO WSU STUDENT-ATHLETES

Over 200 student-athletes, faculty and staff attended the annual Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet held in April 2010.

ATHLETIC ACADEMIC SERVICES The Wayne State Athletic Department has developed a comprehensive approach to academic services for its student-athletes. The department’s goal is to assist student-athletes in pursuit of their designated course of studies and ultimately to achieve graduation. This objective is facilitated by appropriate academic advising, major selection, tutorial assistance and other life skill development and academic support services. A major goal of athletic academic services is to significantly increase the department’s graduation rate over the next five years and to continually emphasize the success of WSU’s student-athletes in the community. Part of the initiative already has been realized by the department’s annual Spring Academic Recognition Banquet that honors student-athletes with a 3.5 or better term grade point average. The name of each graduate is permanently displayed on a brick as part of the department’s “Wall of Fame.” The recognition is prominently displayed in the main concourse as you enter the Matthaei Athletic Facility Complex.

Academic Monitoring The Department of Athletics participates in the university-wide early alert system in which instructors provide notification to students and their advisors about unsatisfactory progress after the fourth week of classes. In conjunction with the coaching staff, requests for information about class attendance and performance are sent to each instructor. The academic coordinator tracks individual progress, schedules meetings with students as appropriate, and personally contacts instructors as necessary. Counseling/Mentoring The coordinator meets with student-athletes individually and arranges for group meetings/ workshops with other support service personnel regarding academic, athletic, career, and/or personal issues (for example, group sessions covering such topics as test-taking skills, time management, learning styles, etc.) The Department of Athletics has collaborative relationships with many other critical units on campus to help provide appropriate support services. Advising/Registration In conjunction with academic advisors in the University Advising Center, the coordinator assists student-athletes with term course planning and registration, including holding special student-athlete Orientation sessions to introduce them to NCAA and GLIAC eligibility requirements and departmental academic policies as well as to Wayne State University’s academic programs, procedures and regulations, and services. The office also works closely with academic advisors in all the university’s schools and colleges to ensure appropriate semester course selection and timely progress towards degree. The office serves as a clearinghouse for information about campus resources and student support services, university forms, enrollment deadlines and institutional academic policies and procedures. Structured Study In an effort to help ensure the academic success and the development of consistent study patterns of student-athletes, the coordinator organizes supervised study sessions for each team. Tutorial Services, Writing Center, Mathematics Laboratory The university provides free peer tutoring in most subject areas either on a drop-in or byappointment basis. In the event that the Academic Success Center cannot provide tutoring for a specific class, the Department of Athletics has set aside funds to hire individual tutors. The coordinator works with academic department chairs to identify qualified tutors and is always available to arrange special individual or group sessions in a variety of areas. As in all other services, the office works in a proactive manner to provide assistance before academic problems arise.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING/WSU BASEBALL FIELD

BASEBALL

The Warrior Strength and Conditioning program is responsible for all 16 varsity sports totaling approximately 400 student-athletes. The Warrior strength and conditioning program strives to maximize every athlete’s potential through the use of safe, effective, and time efficient training protocols with an emphasis on intensity and execution, while minimizing the risk of injury. Warrior student-athletes train out of the Matthaei complex weight room located in the lower level of the Matthaei Athletic Building. This weight room provides studentathletes with over 3,000 sq. feet of work space which includes six Brute Half Racks by Rogers used to bench, squat, and clean; a variety of plate loaded equipment by MedX, Nautilus and Hammer Strength as well as a new line of Pendulum equipment by Rogers; two sets of dumbbells, and over 13,000 pounds of weights including both bumper plates and polyurethane Iron Grip plates. The weight room also features a cardio area with equipment by Woodway, Nautilus and Stairmaster. At the completion of their workouts, Warrior student-athletes also receive Gatorade and nutrition shakes to aid in their recovery.

PAUL HARKER Assistant Athletic Director/Strength & Conditioning Paul Harker was named WSU’s Strength and Conditioning coach in June 2006 after serving the previous two years as a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at Michigan State. He was promoted to Assistant Athletic Director in July 2010.

In addition, he earned Academic All-Big Ten and CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team honors after starting all 13 games as a senior. He also received the Biggie Munn Award as Most Inspirational in 2003 and MSU’s Iron Man Award for his work in the weight room in 2002. Harker graduated in 2003 with bachelor’s degree in communications and received his master’s degree in kinesiology in 2006. A native of Dayton, Ohio, Harker resides in the Dearborn area with his wife, Erin, and their dogs, Lucy and Melody.

The Wayne State University baseball field is located on the northeast corner of the WSU athletic campus, adjacent to the tennis courts and future multipurpose indoor facility along the John C. Lodge Service Drive. In the summer of 2003, the baseball facility underwent a substantial renovation to create a replica of Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, around the perimeter of the outfield. New bullpens were installed in right field, as was a new scoreboard attached to the marquee which overlooks the M-10 Freeway. Wayne State completed construction on two new in-ground, Major League-style dugouts in October 2008. Funding for the project was achieved through alumni and corporate support, as well as through a sizable grant from the Baseball Tomorrow Fund, a joint initiative between Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association. The most recent addition to the Wayne State baseball field is the Tiger Stadium leftfield scoreboard, which is currently mounted on WSU’s Green Monster wall in left. wsuathletics.com 2011 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE • WSUATHLETICS.COM
