Gray-Minor Stadium

With the opening of Gray-Minor Stadium in February 2007, VMI Baseball enjoys one of the best colle-giate baseball facilities in the region. With seating for over 1,400 fans, covered batting cages, a state-of-the-art scoreboard with video board and a first-class press box, Gray-Minor Stadium lives up to the legaciesof two of the most successful VMI Baseball alums to ever wear the Red, Yellow and White.

Gray-Minor Stadium, named after Senator Elmon T. Gray '46 and Gil Minor '63, became the home ofthe VMI Baseball program in 2007, and the Keydets did their best to celebrate the new era, going 23-7 athome with several historic wins, including a 5-2 win over #3 Virginia.

In addition to features like 700 chair-back seats, rebuilt dugouts, professional scout and handicappedseating behind home plate, a concessions stand and large restrooms, Gray-Minor Stadium also gives theKeydets an opportunity to host the program’s first night games. Once again, VMI made the most of this newfeature, going 7-2 in 2007 under the Lexington lights.

The construction of the stadium came just five years after a complete renovation of the playing surfaceitself, as both the infield and outfield surfaces were revamped. Also as a part of the Gray-Minor construc-tion, the field received yet another upgrade, as new fencing was installed, raising the fence height to 15feet around the entire outfield.

Gray-Minor Stadium completesan upgrade of the program’s facilitiesthat began in August of 2003, whenconstruction on Paulette Hall, formerlythe Patchin Field Locker RoomComplex commenced. The projectentailed the expansion of the existinglocker rooms along with the additionof one locker room for visiting teamsand a trainers room. Along with theimprovements and additional squarefootage, the locker rooms were fittedwith audio and visual equipment. Thefunding for the project, estimated at$1.1 million, was donated by BillPaulette ‘69, Minor ‘63, Senator Gray‘46, and the Keydet Club. PauletteHall was constructed by Paulette’sgeneral contracting company, KBS,and was dedicated along with Gray-Minor Stadium on Mar. 27, 2007.

Head Coach Marlin Ikenberry

Over the past six seasons, the VMI baseball program has enjoyed unprecedented success. Winning gamesagainst top-10 teams, receiving national rankings and being regarded as one of the top programs in thestate and in the region are now attributes of a program built under head coach Marlin Ikenberry.

Ikenberry enters his seventh season at the helm of the program as the winningest coach in the history ofVMI Baseball. In recent years, the Keydets posted three consecutive winning seasons for the first time in 52 years,defeated a ranked team for four straight years, and have had multiple players drafted in each of the past five sea-sons.

Marlin Ikenberry was named head coach on July 22, 2003, being promoted to the top spot in the programafter former head coach Tom Slater departed VMI in the summer of 2003 to accept a coaching position at the University of Florida.

As Slater's top assistant and recruiting coordinator for three years, Ikenberry played a key role in the resurgence of the VMI baseball program that set aschool record for victories in 2003 at 24-28.That same year, the Keydets posted a 16-14 mark in the Southern Conference, securing their first winning confer-ence mark since 1969.

Since taking over the program, Ikenberry has continued that success, breaking the school record for wins three times over the past five seasons. After win-ning 23 games in his first year and 27 contests in his second season, historic ground was broken in 2006, when the Keydets won 30 games for the first time inprogram history, while also marking the first time in 41 years that the program posted a winning record. That success continued in 2007, as Ikenberry guided hissquad to a 34-21 record, knocking off a pair teams ranked in the top 10 nationally for the first time in program history.

Assistant Coaches

Jonathan Hadra, a four-year letterman and 2004graduate of VMI, is in his first season backcoaching with the Keydets.

Hadra, who spent last season at Bradley,brings five years of coaching experience back toLexington. Upon his graduation, Hadra coachedwith VMI in 2005 before working three years atWestern Kentucky under VMI graduate ChrisFinwood, where he helped the Hilltoppers to aberth in the 2008 NCAA Regionals after capturingthe Sun Belt Conference Tournament.

Last season at Bradley, Hadra worked tobring in a freshman class of 16 that was named oneof the top recruiting classes in the nation byCollegiate Baseball. Included in the haul were apair of Junior College All-Americans, a High SchoolAll-American and three players that were drafted by MLB clubs. Under Hadra’s tutelage,Bradley center fielder Nick Mitidiero earned All-Conference accolades.

Prior to his stint in Peoria, Hadra worked for three seasons at WKU. During thattime, he oversaw outfield instruction, base running and bunting while coaching first base. In2008, the Hilltoppers were picked seventh in the league’s preseason poll, yet made just thethird NCAA Tournament appearance in program history after capturing the conferencetournament championship. Also that season, the WKU defense ranked third in the nationwith a .976 team fielding percentage.

In Hadra’s second season in Bowling Green, the Hilltoppers went 15-15 in Sun Beltplay, recording a conference-record 10-game improvement from their league mark in 2006.

Before joining Finwood’s staff in 2005, Hadra spent one season as an assistant coachat VMI. That season, the Keydets broke the school record for wins and knocked off aranked opponent for the second straight year (#21 Coastal Carolina, 3-2), as Hadra workedwith outfielders and assisted instruction in base running, bunting and positional defense.

As a cadet, Hadra was a four-year letterman who graduated with a degree inEconomics and Business. Hadra served as team captain his senior year and helped theKeydets break the school record for wins during his junior season. His sophomore season,meanwhile, saw VMI finish with a 16-14 mark in the Southern Conference, breaking the pro-gram standard for most conference wins.

Hadra is married to the former Allison Toth, and the couple recently had their firstchild, Colton, in January 2010.

Ikenberry on Hadra- “I’m very excited to have the opportunity to bring Jonathanback to VMI. His passion for VMI and VMI Baseball shows up on the field daily when inter-acting with our players. He brings a great defensive mind to our infielders, and understandsthe kind of offense that we need to play to be successful.”

tenure in Lexington, Mau has helped the Keydets totheir first-ever national ranking, developed fourpitchers that have been selected in the MLB Draftand served as recruiting coordinator for classesthat have received national recognition each of thepast two years.

On the field, the Keydets have enjoyed greatsuccess on the mound during Mau’s tenure. The2008 staff ranked among the top five in the nationin fewest walks allowed, while three of the pastfour seasons have resulted in the best ERA statsthe program has posted in over 30 years.

Mau has been instrumental in the success of several Keydet hurlers that havereceived numerous accolades. The 2007 season alone saw Trey Barham, Michael Bowmanand Kevin Crum named to the Roger Clemens Award Watch List, given annually to thenation’s top pitcher, while Crum was also included on the Watch Lists for both theNCBWA Stopper of the Year Award Dick Howser Award, the first times that Keydets werenamed to any such lists. He has also mentored four All-Conference pitchers and aLouisville Slugger Freshman All-American.

The Lake Mary, Fla. native has a proven track record of developing hurlers into proprospects. Last season,Travis Smink became the fourth Keydet pitcher under Mau to bedrafted, as he was selected in the 31st round by Houston. In 2008, a pair of Keydet pitch-ers were selected when Michael Bowman was taken in the ninth round by Milwaukee andTrey Barham was drafted in the 25th round by Oakland. A year previous, Corey Bachmanwas drafted by the Chicago Cubs. In addition, Mau had a pair of players that he coached atCharleston Southern University break into the major leagues in 2008, as R.J. Swindle andBobby Parnell made their major league debuts for the Philadelphia Phillies and the NewYork Mets, respectively.

Before coming to the Institute, Mau spent two seasons at Marist College, helping theRed Foxes to the 2005 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Regular Season andTournament Championships. Marist then participated in the Baton Rouge Regional, wherethey fell to LSU and Northwestern State, despite holding leads late in each contest.

Prior to his stint in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., Mau spent one season at Big South foeCharleston Southern, where he lowered the staff ERA by two runs from the previous yearand had a pitcher named Big South Player of the Year. Mau also coached the South CarolinaDiamond Devils AAU team for two seasons, compiling a 34-17-2 mark and 370 strikeoutswhile working with 19 future collegiate pitchers, 15 of whom went on to play in Division I.

A standout pitcher for the College of Charleston from 1998-2001, Mau still ranksamong the Cougars’ best in career victories, games started, ERA, strikeouts and inningspitched. He also established the Cougars’ single-season mark for winning percentage (1.000)while posting a 1.79 ERA, the second-lowest single-season total in school history. Followinghis collegiate career, he signed as a free agent with the Florida Marlins and pitched for twoseasons in the Marlins organization. He also split another season with the KenoshaMammoths and the Southeastern Cloverleafs.

Ikenberry on Mau- “Ryanhas been with me for fiveyears now, and he under-stands the expectation levelof this program. He contin-ues to do a standout jobwith our pitchers in devel-oping them to not only suc-ceed at VMI, but in alsohelping many of them transi-tion to professional base-ball.”

Diamond ClubKeydet Baseball Fans:

The long, hard practices of the fall and winter are finallywinding down, and the beginning of the 2010 baseball season isupon us! But before we talk about the upcoming season, let's take alook at some of the recent achievements and developments foryour VMI Keydet baseball team. Although injuries to the pitchingstaff made 2009 a tough year for wins and losses, two players werechosen in the major league draft - senior Travis Smink, who signedwith the Houston Astros and had an excellent summer, and juniorTanner Biagini, who chose to return for his senior season. Addingto the excitement around Post, after three seasons with ChrisFinwood '88 at Western Kentucky and one season at Bradley, Jonathan Hadra '04 has rejoined the staff as anassistant coach. Finally, this fall our very own former catcher Andy Beasley '90 was inducted into the VMISports Hall of Fame!

There is a growing amount of excitement for this season's team, especially by having 35 home games sched-uled this spring. The pitching staff is healthy and some young arms among the Rats will add depth and quality.Finally, did you know that the 2008 and 2009 recruiting classes got votes for being one of the top 40 classesin the country by Collegiate Baseball?

It probably won't surprise you that a letter like this will also address finances. As you may know the VMIKeydet Club does an outstanding job of supporting VMI athletics through scholarship and operating funds.Nonetheless, as we strive to make our program one of the best in Virginia and the Big South Conference, it iscritical we provide adequate, but separate funding for various projects and equipment.That is why we createdthe VMI Baseball Diamond Club!

Last year, the inaugural year for the Diamond Club, was a resounding success with 125 charter members.Now it's time to crank up our membership drive again. This season (as we hope to do every season), we'veadded new ideas and want to continue putting on post-game cook-outs with the team and their families. Theteam cook-outs after games are a great way to gather around the team and see old faces of the baseball pro-gram. Membership in the Diamond Club this year includes pre-game and post-game notes and coach's com-ments, and one game ticket and free admission to one of the three games and post-game cookouts.

Lastly, what better way to preserve your Keydet memories than by purchasing a game jersey from the actualuniforms worn between 1995 and 2007? Each jersey will sell for $25.00 each. Email Robert Crumpler [email protected] or Coach Ikenberry at [email protected] and be sure to get your favorite num-ber while you can! The money raised will enhance the baseball program and renovate the old "pipe shop"across from the locker room, giving your baseball program a first-class foyer honoring previous players andteams, and also allow your VMI coaches to have their offices next to the locker room and Gray-MinorStadium!

Thank you again for all of your generosity, and I hope to see you at Gray-Minor Stadium!

Let's Go Keydets!

Season Preview

The VMI baseball program approaches what figures to be an interestingcampaign in 2010. With seven of their nine position starters returningfrom a lineup that was one of the highest-scoring in school history, the

Keydets would figure to score runs with some of the top clubs in the Big South.On the mound,VMI lost three of its top pitchers from a season ago, however,return nine pitchers that gained valuable experience last season. In addition, theKeydet pitching staff also welcomes back three talented hurlers that missed ‘09due to injury. Optimism abounds around the program that the Keydets could beset for a bounce-back season in 2010 following a disappointing 2009 campaign.

"We're excited for this year to begin," says VMI head coach Marlin Ikenberry."Last season left a bad taste in our mouths, and we're ready to get back outthere and start proving where this program is headed. We return a lot of talent,and this freshman class really gives us a lot of potential all over the field. We feellike if we go out there every day and do the things that we need to do, that weshould be right where we want to be at the end of the season."

CatcherThe Keydets return juniorAlex Haitsuka in 2010,who made 48 startsbehind the dish last sea-son. As a sophomore,Haitsuka developed intoone of VMI's top powerthreats, ranking second onthe team with a .517 slug-ging percentage and ninehome runs. He will onceagain be counted on toshoulder the load behindthe plate while hitting inthe middle of the VMIlineup.

Junior Justin Topping has emerged from the fall season as the team’s top backupbehind the plate. Topping, who has been the Keydets' primary designated hitterthe past two seasons, could once again return to that role when not catching.Freshman Andrew Montague and sophomore Collin Flaherty are expected toprovide depth at this key position.

"We have Alex coming back after being our everyday catcher last year," saidIkenberry. "We have asked him to step up into a leadership role on this team,and he has done that for us. He's going to be pushed by Justin Topping, who hasshown great improvements after being a little banged up last year. He's come inand has developed into a solid competitor for that catching job. We've also got acouple of guys in Andrew Montague and Collin Flaherty who give us a deepbench at that position."

InfieldThe VMI infield should once again be a strength of the team in 2010, as theteam's top three returning hitters are slated to start around the diamond.Seniors Jordan Ballard and Tanner Biagini will once again anchor the corner posi-tions and hit in the middle of the lineup, while junior Sam Roberts is expected tostart at shortstop while hitting atop the order. Add in a promising freshman inCory Spangenberg, and the Keydet infield should be one of the most potent inthe Big South this season.

"We feel like we're very strong all around the infield, both offensively and defen-sively," said Ikenberry. "It's great to have four-year guys like Jordan and Tannergiving us veteran knowledge at the corners, and Sammy is a natural baseball play-er who excelled last season at shortstop. Cory Spangenberg is an outstandingathlete that hits from the left-side, and I think our fans are really going to likeseeing him out there. Along with those guys, we really feel good about the depththat we're developing at each of those positions as well."

Ballard is coming off a standout season at first base, leading the team in severaloffensive categories, including batting average (.366), doubles (17), home runs(11), RBIs (48) and slugging percentage (.614), while committing just six errors in498 total chances. The Troy,Va. native enters the year among the top 10 in VMI's

career batting average,slugging percentage andfielding percentage lists,and will be looking to puta fitting cap on his four-year career. He is expect-ed to be backed up byMichael Olivo, a freshmanwhose offensive potentialcould also lead to time atdesignated hitter this sea-son.

Spangenberg laid claim toa starting role with his fallcampaign, where heshowed outstanding skillsboth at the plate and inthe field. That startingspot figures to come atsecond base, where theKeydets have had back-to-back First Team All-Conference selectionseach of the past two seasons in Shane Geisslinger (2008) and A.J.Yoder (2009).Spangenberg will also give the Keydets another left-handed bat in the lineup, pos-sibly in the top-half of the order. Providing a backup at second base is sopho-more George Piccirilli, who has shown promise after shifting to the position overthe fall. Piccirilli could also see time at designated hitter, depending on match-ups.

The versatile Roberts isexpected to start at short-stop, that is, when he's notstarting games on themound. Roberts movedfrom right field to shortstopin the middle of last seasonand showed no drop off atthe plate, hitting .335 whileleading the team with a .440on-base percentage and 53runs scored. The PrinceGeorge,Va. native saw amajority of his time in eitherthe leadoff or cleanup spotslast season, and will onceagain hit in the top-half ofthe lineup as a junior. WhenRoberts heads to themound, sophomore SteeleMyers figures to man short-stop after playing 27 gamesthere as a freshman.

Biagini returns for his fourth season at the hot corner following another strongoffensive campaign. Biagini ranked second on the squad with 16 doubles, ninehome runs and 114 total bases as a junior, and will once again be expected toprovide offense while hitting in the middle of the order. In addition, the two-time MLB draftee has made major strides defensively over the fall, solidifyingwhat should be a strong fielding infield. Adding to that mix is sophomore ChaseWorthington, who as a strong defender is slated to see time backing up Biagini atthird base, but could also see time at several of the infield positions.

OutfieldThe Keydets return a pair of starters in the outfield in junior Graham Sullivanand sophomore Jacob Morley. Several freshmen figure to see roles as well, givingthe coaching staff several different options to consider, based on match-ups.

Season Previewplay each of the three outfieldpositions," said Ikenberry. "Heshowed what he could do incenter field last year, but willlikely see time at all threepositions in different scenariosthis season. Graham Sullivanhas proven that he can playleft field at this level, and itlooks like Erickson Keetonhas an early leg up on theeveryday right field position.Freshmen Rob Dickinson andOmbri Rivers should see timein center field based onmatch-ups, and guys likeBrooks Martin and AustinBenda could see time outthere as well."

Sullivan shifted to left field atmid-season last year and blos-somed offensively, hitting near-

ly .400 over the final 16 games after making the switch. The junior is expectedto once again start in left, while Morley, who played in all but two games as afreshman, also figures to play a large role in the outfield. Morley led the teamwith 12 stolen bases a season ago and proved a valuable piece in the Keydetoffense, and will be expected to do the same as a sophomore.

Keeton will begin the season as the everyday starter in right field. A talentedplayer with a plus arm, Keeton will be joined in the outfield rotation byDickinson and Rivers. Dickinson and Rivers will most likely see their time incenter, with the former providing a left-handed bat while the latter hits from theright side. Other outfield options include Martin and Benda, who adds depth asa utility player that could see time in either the outfield or infield.

Starting PitchingWhile the Keydets lost stalwart starters in Travis Smink and Chris Hendersonlast season, the staff does return several different pitchers who have startedgames over the past two seasons. Sam Roberts saw a majority of his time onthe mound last season as a reliever, but will shift to the starting rotation as a jun-ior. Sophomore Adam Lopez could make major strides in his sophomore cam-paign, and will likely open the year in the weekend rotation. Freshman CobyCowgill came on during the fall campaign to nab a starting spot as well, and willbe looked to for major innings in his first year on Post.

"Sam Roberts has shown what he can do on the mound over the past two sea-sons, and we'll move him intothe starting rotation this sea-son," said Ikenberry. "He's byfar our best three-pitch guy,and he's been outstanding inpreseason bullpens. AdamLopez had a good offseasonand a great fall. He's increasedthe velocity on his fastball, hehas better command of thezone and he's improved hisbreaking ball, so we think he'sready to make that next step.Coby Cowgill is very competi-tive, has a fastball in the upper80's, a plus slider and a feel forthe changeup. He will competeand throw strikes, and we'reexcited to see him take themound as a freshman.”

The starting rotation also fig-ures to be bolstered by the

return of three hurlers that missed the 2009 season. Chris Duty, Ryan Barefootand Jason Farley each made starts two years ago, and as the season progresses,could move into the starting rotation. Duty earned All-Conference accolades asa sophomore, when he went 5-0 with two saves and a 1.95 ERA in 17 appear-ances, allowing conference opponents to hit just .100 in seven relief appearances.Barefoot saw action as a two-way player as a freshman, but will focus on themound in the upcoming season. Farley showed great potential in his freshmanseason back in '08, going 3-2 with two saves in 36 innings.

"We're really excited for the return of three talented guys on the mound," saidIkenberry. "Chris Duty looks good and is close to where he was two years ago,when he was voted All-Conference. Ryan Barefoot has shown signs of throwingthe ball as well as he did before and has done a nice job of preparing himself tocome back as a starting pitcher. He'll probably begin the year in short relief andwe'll stretch him out as the season progresses. Jason Farley gives us a left-hand-ed look as a starter and will be competing for one of the top four starting jobs.He's looked good in the offseason and has made some mechanical adjustmentsto improve his pitchability."

Relief PitchingVMI returns several reliev-ers from last year'sbullpen, anchored byMichael Devine and AlanWatts, who figure toshore up the back end ofballgames. The sopho-mores, each of whomdeliver from a sidearmslot from the right side,gained valuable experiencelast season and saw greatsuccess during their sum-mer campaigns, each beingnamed to their league'sAll-Star teams. Theexpectation is that thatsuccess can translate ontothe mound for theKeydets in 2010.

"We feel really good about our situation at the back end of the bullpen," saidIkenberry. "Mike Devine has solidified the closer role and has shown a definiteimprovement in velocity. Alan Watts will also see time late in ballgames, and notonly has his velocity increased, but he has also shown better command of thestrike zone."

The Keydets also enjoy several other options from the right side out of the 'pen,led by junior Adam Kruithof and sophomores Andrew Deal and Jeremy Brown.Kruithof made 17 appearances last season, one shy of Deal's 18. Brown showedgreat promise early in the season while pitching in the weekend rotation beforeinjuries cost him the second-half of his freshman campaign. The coaching staff isalso excited about the development of freshmen Travis Thomas, John Garrett andMiles McQuaig.

"We have a lot of depth in our bullpen among the right-handers," said Ikenberry."Adam Kruithof had a great preseason, and Andrew Deal has the ability to be awedge guy for us late in ballgames by coming in and spinning breaking balls.Jeremy Brown started for us last year, and he's going to start out the year inrelief for us, where we think he can be valuable. We're really impressed withseveral young relievers, as Travis Thomas, John Garrett and Miles McQuaig haveeach shown the ability to come in and get hitters out."

From the left side, sophomore Karter Rivera and freshman Joey Zarella haveeach shown great promise over the fall season and could see substantial roles inthe bullpen in 2010.

The Big South Conference was formed on August21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then BaptistCollege) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell andAugusta President George Christenberry beganrecruiting members into the Big South, receiving ini-tial commitments from Augusta, CharlestonSouthern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop.One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was select-ed as the League's first Commissioner and continuedto solicit new members. His efforts led to the addi-tions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNCAsheville, giving the Big South more than therequired six members to constitute an official con-ference. The Big South's first year of competitionwas in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, theBig South Conference was granted full-fledgedNCAA Division I status.

During its infancy and prior to securing automaticbids to NCAA Championships, the Big South madeearly strides in earning at-large berths in severalnational postseason events, including volleyball,women's basketball and women's golf. In 1989,George F. "Buddy" Sasser replaced the retiring Dr.Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the Leaguereceived its first automatic bid - receiving an auto-matic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship.Under Sasser's seven years of leadership, theConference implemented its public relations andcompliance programs, and introduced its first-evermen's basketball television package, featuring the BigSouth competing among some of the finest teams inthe nation.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser asthe League's third Commissioner, and in his 13 yearsat the helm of the Big South, Kallander has beeninstrumental in aggressively promoting theConference to new levels. The Conference hasenjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during

the past several years, he has brought television cov-erage to Big South women's basketball, baseball andsoftball for the first time in Conference history, aswell as increased national television exposure to theLeague as a whole through aggressive and unique tel-evision packages.

Under Kallander's leadership, the Big South devel-oped and initiated its first long-range strategic plan,re-affirming the League's vision as a distinctive athlet-ic Conference committed to the quality of institu-tional life through athletic competition. He alsospearheaded the efforts to add football as a champi-onship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and hassolidified Conference membership with the additionsof High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian, andin 2011-12, the return of charter member CampbellUniversity. Kallander's long range vision has also

included technological advancements, as theConference introduced its first live event videostreaming in 2005 and has since expanded its videoofferings to more than 600 events annually through apartnership with the member institutions, as well asthe creation of several online and social media plat-forms.

In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conferencehas experienced monumental growth and success innearly every sport. During this time, the Conferencehas had two individual National Champions, morethan 200 All-Americans, has reached the "Sweet 16"in men's soccer, women's basketball and baseball, hasreceived national Top 25 rankings in men's soccer,men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball, men'soutdoor track & field, and men's golf, had an individ-ual selected to play in the NCAA SinglesChampionship four times in addition to the firstmen's tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1ranked men's golfer in the country, has had thenation's top scoring men's basketball team threeconsecutive years as well as the national men's bas-ketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large play-off berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in2006, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAAMen's Golf Championships - the Conference's high-est-ever team finish in an NCAA event.

In 2006-07 alone, the Big South was the onlyConference nationwide to have an at-large partici-pant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), ateam in the Second Round of the NCAA Men'sBasketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seedin the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina).In fact, Coastal Carolina's baseball program has beena No. 1 seed three out of the last five years, while itsFCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-yearof the Big South's football existence.

The Conference's tagline, "Developing LeadersThrough Athletics" was unveiled in 2008-09 in con-junction with the Conference's 25th Anniversary.The League also honored its heritage with the Top25 "Best of the Best" moments in League historyfrom 1983-2008, with Liberty University's 10-yearwomen's basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the BigSouth's first 25 years. The Conference's on-fieldaccomplishments have been duplicated in the class-room. Annually, more than 40 percent ofConference student-athletes are named to the BigSouth's Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining acumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the Leaguehas had more than 95 Academic All-Americans in itsquarter-century of existence.

Notable Conference Numbers:Despite just a 10-15 mark in conference,

several Keydets enjoyed impressive seasonsagainst league opponents. Among the notableswere:

Tanner Biagini opened Big South playwith an 18-game hitting streak. He reachedbase safely in 24 of VMI’s 25 games againstconference opponents and led the team with 30runs and 24 RBI in League play.

A.J. Yoder collected 12 of his 13 doublesagainst Big South opponents. He led VMI with a.409 batting average, 45 hits, 12 doubles (tied)in League play.

Travis Smink improved to 6-1 in nineconference starts with his win against High Pointon the regular season’s final weekend. His lone

Big South loss came at Coastal Carolina, as hepaced the team with 40 strikeouts in 55.2 con-ference innings.

Sam Roberts hit .392 with seven doublesand a team-best .474 on-base percentage inconference play, but those aren’t even his mostimpressive League numbers. On the mound,Roberts made nine relief appearances, working9.1 innings without surrendering an earned run.He collected three saves and struck out 11 whilewalking just three.

Jacob Morley, VMI’s lone everyday fresh-man starter in ‘09, made quite an impression inhis first trip around the League, hitting .274with a team-best eight stolen bases in nineattempts.

Keydet Power:With 55 home runs, the 2009 Keydets hit

the second-most home runs in a single-season inschool history.

Led by Jordan Ballard’s 11 round-trippers,10 different Keydets hit home runs last season.Six of those players hit at least five home runs,including Tanner Biagini (9), Alex Haitsuka (9),Brian Sandridge (7), Sam Roberts (6) andGraham Sullivan (5).

The Keydets came up just shy of the 1985VMI squad that hit 56 dingers.

Last year’s offense also set a school recordwith 838 total bases, while the team ranked sec-ond in hits (556), fifth in RBI (302), runs scored(331) and doubles (103) and eighth in sluggingpercentage (.444).

Brotherly Love:When A.J. Yoder was named Big South

Conference Player of the Week on April 27, itfigured to be an exciting day for the Belleville,Pa. native. The elation doubled in the Yoderhousehold later that afternoon, when A.J.’s

brother Ben, ajunior atBucknell, wassimilarly namedthe PatriotLeague’s Playerof the Week. Itmarked the firsttime that eitherYoder brotherhad received aconferencePlayer of theWeek award.

A.J. bat-ted .500 (9-18)in helping VMI toa 3-2 mark onthe week, includ-ing its first serieswin over

Winthrop in Rock Hill. In the Keydets’ 10-inningloss at Old Dominion, Yoder hit a two-run homerto account for all of VMI’s scoring against theMonarchs. He then went 2-for-3 with two RBI inVMI’s 6-5 win over Norfolk State, which snappedthe Keydets’ eight-game losing streak. Yoderrecorded an RBI in VMI’s one-run loss toWinthrop in the series opener, then went 5-for-5with two runs and a double in a 6-5 win in gametwo. He followed that with a pair of runs,including the game-winner, in Sunday’s seriesclinching victory over the Eagles.

Yoder struck out just once in 20 plateappearances and added two walks, two stolenbases, two sacrifice bunts and was hit by threepitches in recording a .609 on-base percentagein addition to a .722 slugging percentage.

Yoder ended his career third on the VMIcareer hits chart with 221 in his four years atVMI. He also ranked among the school’s top fivein career triples, at bats and hit by pitch, andplayed in the fourth-most games in school histo-ry.

Yoder now serves as an assistant coach atBucknell, where his brother is a senior.

VMI Victorious at Winthrop for FirstTime:

In a series that saw each of its three gamesdecided by a single run, VMI won its first-evergames at the Winthrop Ballpark, winning theweekend series for just the second time over theEagles in six such tries.

With 6-5 wins on both Saturday andSunday, VMI snapped an 0-9 all-time mark atthe Winthrop Ballpark, which included sevenlosses to the host Eagles and an 0-2 run at the2007 Big South Championship.

Each of the two wins unfolded in similarfashion, with VMI overcoming early deficits.Matt Edwards and Sam Roberts worked in reliefin each of the wins, as the two combined topitch four innings while surrendering just onehit, collecting a win and two saves.

Keydets Snap Skid With Win OverSpartans:

An eight-game losing streak came to an endwhen Tanner Biagini delivered a bases-loadedsingle to deep left field, giving VMI a 6-5 victoryover Norfolk State on April 22.

The Keydets, who had lost no more thanthree consecutive games all season prior to themid-April slide, improved to 14-0 all-timeagainst Norfolk State with the win. And whilethe overall series record may be one-sided, amajority of the games have not been. VMI hasnow won five games, including both meetingslast season, against NSU by just one run, whiletaking four more by either two or three runs.

Chris Henderson notched his 16th careervictory, tying him for the second-most in VMI his-tory, by no-hitting the Spartans for 3.1 innings.

thing since joining the Keydet program. Onething he had not done, however, was hit a homerun, at least until early last season.

Against Rider, Roberts went deep in threeconsecutive games, twice to the opposite field,as the Prince George, Va. native collected nineRBI in the four-game series.

Most impressively, Roberts made a winnerof himself on the mound with Sunday’s two-runblast in the eighth inning, giving VMI a 12-11win after he had allowed the go-ahead run toscore for the Broncs in the top of the eighth.

The VMI Baseball StoryAs the the VMI Baseballprogram reaches mile-stones never beforeachieved in its history, itbecomes an appropriatetime to survey the rich his-tory of baseball at theInstitute, a story datingback to its early days, over140 years ago.

As the Institute continuedits rebuilding efforts follow-ing its burning in theSummer of 1864, cadetsturned to a new sport in the Fall of 1866. An account by Hugh Walker Fry in the 1914 Bombdetails the beginnings of the first documented team sport at VMI, introduced by Samuel Taylor:

I remember that fall that Sam had returned to the Institute from Richmond, wherehe had been spending his vacation. The day after his arrival he asked me to accompanyhim to the Parade Ground. Once there he instructed me to stand off from him about fiftyfeet. I did so. Sam twirled his arm around two or three times and let fly an object at me.Instinctively I was in the act of dodging, but Sam cried,“Catch it, you clodhopper!” So Icaught it. Not knowing what the missile was, I asked Sam,“What in tarnation is thisthing?” Sam replied,“You stupe, it’s a baseball.” By that time a crowd of cadets gatheredaround, and we formed a circle. For some time we were carried away with the sport ofpassing the ball from one to the other.

Sam Taylor had gotten a book of Spalding’s Rules, and he had been playing ball inRichmond that summer. Garland Longstreet, another cadet from New Orleans, had playedball that summer too. It was not long before we organized the first baseball team at theVirginia Military Institute. That year we played twenty-three match games: won twenty, lostone, and tied two. (p. 149)

Crosstown rival Washington College (now Washington & Lee University) provided the oppo-nent for several of those first contests, though the team did travel to Lynchburg in 1867 to playthe Hill City Club, where they fell by one run. The team’s first game against the University ofVirginia came in 1889, a rivalry that still continues as the teams are scheduled to play eachother twice during the upcoming season.

The schedule became broader as the years went by, as annual games against in-state opponentsRandolph-Macon, Hampden-Sydney, Richmond College and VPI became the standard. The rival-ry with Washington & Lee was also kept up until the spring of 1904, when an “overenthusiasticresponse of spectators” caused the two schools to cease athletic relations.

In the early 1900’s, three players stood out on the diamond so much so that they were induct-ed into the VMI Sports Hall of Fame some 60-plus years later. William Couper ‘04 holds thedistinction as being both the earliest Baseball Hall of Famer, as he was also the first recipient ofa VMI monogram. A first baseman and captain of the ‘04 team, Couper was inducted as part ofthe inaugural class of 1972, along with four other baseball players. Robert Y. Conrad ‘05 earnedinduction in 1974, as his play in right field and as a right tackle on the football team, earned himthe honor, though it was awarded posthumously, as he was killed in combat during the Battle ofthe Marne in World War I. John L. Pitts ‘16 was an outstanding pitcher who received theWilliamson Graham Cup for overall athletic excellence and was inducted into the VMI SportsHOF in 1975.

Until the 1921-22 season, the squad played home games on the Parade Ground, just as thefootball team did. In that season, both teams relocated to Alumni Field, a site which the foot-ball team still uses today, while the baseball team shifted operations to Patchin Field in the early1960’s.

In that historic first game at Alumni Fieldin April of 1922, the Keydets hosted theUniversity of South Carolina. VMI Hall ofFame inductee Frank M. Page, Jr. ‘23 had aday to remember, as he hurled the first ofhis two no-hitters that year. In the game,shortstop Joseph M. Hatchett hit a majes-tic home run to center field on the firstpitch thrown to a VMI batter at the field.Later in the inning, Edward Ryder hitanother long round-tripper to the samespot, helping Page earn the 8-0 victory, thefirst of six consecutive wins for Page as hewound up the season with an 8-2 mark.Included in that total were a pair of two-hitters, a one-hitter, and another no-hitter,this time against VPI in the final homegame of the season. Those outings accom-panied a 16-strikeout performance in a 4-2win against Roanoke College, which stilldidn’t match an 18-strikeout game heposted in 1920.

The team went 11-2 in that season, andfollowed that up by going 13-4 in 1923,including two shutouts of Virginia by Page.Those teams have been regarded by some

to be among the greatest in VMI history.

At the turn of the decade, two more future VMI Hall of Famers donned the Red,White andYellow in the persons of Gilly Laughorn ‘31 and Lefty Williams ‘31. Laughorn was a slugger wholed the team in home runs and earned honorable mention All-American status as a first class-man, while Williams was regarded as a standout pitcher who posted two-hitters of bothCornell and VPI as a third classman. Both players were offered contracts from major leagueclubs, as Laughorn went on to play for three seasons in the Chicago White Sox organization.Laughorn and Williams led the teams to solid campaigns of 10-6 (1929), 11-4 (1930), and 12-6(1931).

1938 would become a season long remembered in VMI baseball lore. The team posted sevenwins, a five-win improvement from the year before, and was regarded as one of the program’sfinest sides with some outstanding individual talent. Charles “Billy” Robertson ‘38 was a note-worthy hurler who averaged over ten strikeouts per contest, while his catcher was the incom-parable Paul Shu. Shu earned All-State and All-Conference recognition in football, led the bas-ketball team in scoring, won the state javelin title in addition to his exploits on the diamond.But it was an event away from the field that brought the program a great deal of attention,though perhaps indirectly. In 1938, the movie Brother Rat was released, with future PresidentRonald Reagan playing Dan Crawford and Eddie Albert portraying Bing Edwards, a pair of VMIbaseball players who bend the rules just weeks before graduation and must scramble to stay inschool and secure their degree. It is this picture that many casual acquaintances of VMI havewhen referencing the Keydet baseball program.

As the Institute resumed its normal operations following World War II, a pair of players stoodout for their performances on the field in Claude “Red” Patton ‘50 and Oliver “Red” Williford‘51. Patton, who was inducted into the HOFin 1975, was a unanimous All-State selectionin 1950, while Williford was named All-Statein four consecutive seasons, while he alsowon the Cincinnati Medal and the Silver Starfor gallantry in action during his distin-guished military career.

In the mid 1950’s, the team turned in threeconsecutive 12-win seasons, marking theprogram’s best run until Charlie McGinnis’days at the helm of the program in the early1960’s. After going just 15-14 in his first twoseasons on post, McGinnis’ nine accrued 40wins over the next three seasons (1963-65),including a 15-9 mark in 1965 that stood asthe program’s last winning season until the2006 campaign, when Marlin Ikenberry’stroops posted a 30-25 record.

When putting together any list of the toppitchers in the program’s history, certainlynear the top along with Page,Williams, &Robertson would have to be the name ofPercy Sensabaugh ‘66. As a third classman,Sensabaugh ranked second in the countrywith 106 strikeouts, a record that still standsas the program’s top mark. That, along withhis 0.67 ERA, may represent the finest statis-tical season on record, though his second class year (1.04 ERA, 71 K, 69 IP, 5 CG) certainlyranks a close second. Twice during the 1964 campaign, Sensabaugh struck out at least 20 bat-ters, doing so against West Virginia on April 11 before sitting down 21 in an 11-inning contestagainst The Citadel later that year. However, his playing career was cut tragically short due toan arm injury sustained while throwing the shot put, dashing any hopes of a professional career.

However, Sensabaugh was not the only star player of those mid-1960’s teams. The 1963 teamsaw a pair of newcomers that went on to earn All-American status, as Joe Bush and DonnieWhite each helped the team to new batting average and stolen-base records. Bush, who laterearned induction into the HOF on his football credentials, was a center fielder with a stick forthat team, while White, a sure-handed shortstop with wheels, earned induction in 1975. White,also an accomplished football halfback, led the team in hitting for three consecutive seasons,including a high of .391 as a third classman, while his 26 stolen bases in 1963 was the second-highest mark in the nation that season. White’s relationship with the baseball program has nowspanned into its fifth decade, as he has served as player, assistant coach, head coach, and now asthe Institute’s athletic director.

Just four years later, the team would go on an unlikely run under the direction of Chuck Roys.After finishing the regular season with a 7-7 mark, the 1969 Keydets, under the direction ofChuck Roys, forced a one-game playoff against William & Mary to determine the SouthernConference’s Northern Division Champions. Despite falling in three of their previous fourmeetings with the Tribe that year, the Keydets claimed a thrilling 13-inning decision that lasteddeep into the Colonial Heights night to defeat W&M 5-3 and earn a spot in the SoConChampionship Series against Furman the next day. But there was no magic left in the Keydetbats, as the team fell 7-2 and 5-4 to the Paladins, leaving their first SoCon Championshipappearance empty-handed. That team was led by a standout fourth classman pitcher by thename of Vern Beitzel, who later went on to serve as head coach for four seasons. He wasjoined by J.C. Hanks and Timothy White, each of whom helped shoulder the offensive load. Infact,White hit over .330 for three consecutive years, while helping to almost single-handedlyend VPI’s 19-year winning streak over the Keydets in VMI’s come-from-behind, 8-6 victory.

The VMI Baseball StoryThe coming seasons would be a struggle for the program, as they failed to win more than sixgames in a season until the 1982 team, when first-year head man Donnie White claimedSouthern Conference Coach of the Year honors for engineering a dramatic turnaround. Underhis direction, the team steadily improved its win totals in the SoCon over the next six seasonswhile players like Phil Hubbard ‘83, Greg Weddle ‘86 and Chris Finwood ‘88 each became stand-outs who would later earn induction into the HOF. Hubbard, who batted.424 as a junior, stillranks as one of the top sluggers in VMI history, as his .350 career batting average is the third-highest total of all time. Meanwhile,Weddle’s exploits at the plate still have him as the careerleader in slugging percentage (.633) and home runs (37), while his .328 batting average and 146RBI also rank in the top five.

During those seasons, the team posted back-to-back .500 seasons for the first time since the1962 & 1963 campaigns. In 1987,White led the Keydets to a 16-16-1 record, and more impor-tantly, an 8-4 SoCon mark. The team finished second in the North Division that season, earninga berth into the Conference Tournament. There, after dropping their opening game to WesternCarolina, the Keydets slugged their way to back-to-back wins against Davidson and AppalachianState, though they needed extra innings to dispatch the Mountaineers. The Keydets then facedoff against Western Carolina in the Championship Finals, where they fell 9-4. That run saw theend of White’s VMI coaching career, as Paul Maini took over the reins and saw great success hisfirst year, leading the team to a 20-20 mark, while Maini earned SoCon Coach of the Year hon-ors that season.

Finwood, as so many of the program’s fine players have done, would return to Lexington tohead up the program just a few short years after his playing days had wrapped up. Duringthose playing days, Finwood had helped lead VMI to a pair of Northern Division Championships(1987, 1988), while he was voted All-Southern Conference three times in his career. Just threeyears after his graduation, Finwood took over the program after a disastrous 2-35-1 campaign,and immediately began to right the ship. In his three years, Finwood won 52 games, the fifth-most in school history, while his eighth-seeded 1993 team went on one of the most magicalrides in VMI athletic history, defeating three consecutive favored opponents to advance to theSoCon Tournament Finals, where they eventually fell to second-seeded Western Carolina.

That ‘93 team also featured several individuals that would continue the VMI baseball legacy overthe following years. Along with Finwood, the team also included assistant coach Tom Slater ‘90,who would serve for three seasons as VMI’s head coach, engineering a 16-14 record in theSouthern Conference in 2003, before eventually moving on to take over as the head coach atAuburn prior to the 2005 season. Playing on that team were a pair of catchers that would goon to serve as assistant coaches for the Keydets in Chris Chernisky ‘94 and Marlin Ikenberry‘95. Chernisky took over the Niagara program prior to the 2005 season, while Ikenberry is inhis fourth season at the helm of the Keydet program.

A freshman pitcher/outfielder on the 1993 team was Portsmouth,Va. native Ryan Glynn ‘96. Apower source at the plateand a strikeout artist onthe mound, Glynn’s 8.78strikeouts per nine inningsstill ranks as the highest inVMI history, while his 31home runs and 126 RBIplace him among the topten in each category aswell. Impressive numbers,considering the fact thatGlynn only played threeseasons for the Keydets.That was because Glynnwas drafted in the 4thround (94th overall) of the1995 MLB First-Year PlayerDraft by the TexasRangers, the highest selec-tion of any Keydet in the

program’s history. And after four-plus seasons playing in the Rangers’ minor league system,Glynn made his major league debut on May 16, 1999 against the Baltimore Orioles. Just over aweek later, Glynn started his first major league contest, doing so in Tampa Bay on May 25, 1999.In that game, Glynn pitched 4.1 innings in a Rangers’ 7-2 victory. In all, Glynn pitched in themajors in five different seasons, winning nine contests and striking out 116 batters, while heearned VMI Sports HOF induction in 2005, the most recent baseball inductee.

Glynn’s final season playing for the Keydets marked the first campaign for one of VMI’s mostsuccessful coaches, Scott Gines ‘83. Gines owns the second-longest tenure of any VMI headbaseball coach, as he collected 104 wins over six seasons. He still remains the program’s all-time leader in coaching victories, as he twice saw his team qualify for the SoCon Tournament.

Gines’ final season came in 1999, when the team posted a new school-record win total with a22-27 campaign during which they also went 13-16 in the League. However, an 0-2 finish in theSoCon tournament dashed the dreams of yet another miracle tournament run.

The 2000 season would see one of the greatest offensive statistical seasons in the program’shistory, as Chris Catanzaro ‘01 hit .392, doing so with 76 hits, 25 of which were doubles, alongwith 56 runs and 46 RBI. Those numbers helped him to claim the career records which stillstand today of a .356 batting average, 72 doubles, 411 total bases and 155 RBI, while his sec-ond-place total of 258 hits was only eclipsed in 2006 by the culmination of the stellar career ofKelly Sweppenhiser ‘06.

Taking over in 2001 was Slater, who returned once again to the VMI program after serving for

six seasons as an assistant coachat Auburn. While serving underlegendary AU baseball coachHal Baird, Slater recruited sev-eral future major leagues,including Tim Hudson, ChrisBootcheck and Gabe Gross.Despite only winning 25 gamesin his first two seasons at thehelm, Slater laid the ground-work for some of the finest sea-sons in VMI baseball history inthe coming years.

It got started in 2003, whenSlater’s bunch went 25-27, set-ting yet another new record forwins in a season, while his 16-14SoCon mark earned him Coachof the Year honors from theLeague. It didn’t hurt that theseventh-seeded team also won a pair of games in the SoCon tournament, defeating both third-seeded Citadel and fifth-seeded Furman by 2-1 scores before being ousted by fourth-seededUNC Greensboro. The loss was a bittersweet ending to the 75-year relationship between VMIand the Southern Conference, as the Institute joined the Big South Conference in the Fall of2003.

And with the new Conference affiliation came a new coach. Ikenberry took the reins afterserving for three seasons as an assistant under Slater. After a disappointing 2004 season thatsaw the team go 23-32 in its inaugural Big South campaign, Ikenberry’s boys made sure the restof the league knew the Keydets were a force to be reckoned with in 2005, posting 27 wins andan 11-13 conference record, earning their first berth into the Big South Championship.

For the fourth time in five seasons, the 2006 squad again surpassed the school record for winsin a season. But the team’s 30 wins was only half the story, as the team lost only 25 contests,marking the program’s first winning season since McGinnis’ 1965 team. The team also scored apair of historic firsts, including a series win at Auburn to open up the season, the first time theKeydets had ever claimed a series victory against an SEC team. Then on the season’s finalweekend,VMI took two of three against #16 Winthrop, marking the first series win against aranked team in program history.

That spring, the team bid farewell to undoubtedly one of the top bats to ever don red, whiteand yellow, as Kelly Sweppenhiser was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays, and, later that summer,became only the second Keydet to reach AAA, doing so with the Syracuse SkyChiefs inSeptember 2006. Sweppenhiser graduated with numerous records and honors, as his 263 hits,172 runs, 411 total bases, .457 on-base percentage helped him to become the VMI’s firstLouisville Slugger Freshman All-American and first Dick Howser Award Watch Listee.

The 2007 season will long stand as a watershed moment in the history of the program. Gray-Minor Stadium, named after a pair of former VMI catchers in Sen. Elmon Gray ’46 and GilMinor ‘63, was christened on Feb. 16, when the Keydets claimed a 10-2 decision over Bucknell.That would be a telling sign of things to come for VMI at Gray-Minor Stadium in ‘07, as theKeydets went 23-7 in their new home, including wins over #3 Virginia,VCU and Richmond.

In addition to its new digs, the program also achieved several firsts, including their first-evernational ranking (holding the 30th spot for consecutive weeks in Collegiate Baseball’s poll), apair of wins over top-ten teams (with a win at #10 Auburn joining the home win over #3Virginia) and back-to-back 30-win seasons. Sophomore Michael Bowman took down a pair ofschool records by striking out 110 batters in 99.0 innings, on his way to Second Team All-Conference accolades. Meanwhile, junior Trey Barham became the school’s career wins leader,helping pace a pitching staff that posted its lowest ERA in 33 seasons.

The upward trend continued in 2008, as the Keydets not only posted their third straight win-ning season (29-26), but posted the team’s best conference finish since joining the Big South.At 14-7, the Keydets tied for second place in the league standings, tying the school record forconference winning percentage from the 1987 squad. The 2008 team also knocked off a rankedopponent for the fourth straight year and saw three players drafted, including Michael Bowman,who was selected in the ninth round by the Milwaukee Brewers. It marked the third-highest aVMI player had ever been taken in the Major League Baseball draft.

In 2009, the program took some impressive steps forward despite battling through a difficultcampaign. For the fifth-straight year, the Keydets had multiple players named All-Conference,while also claiming the program’s first Big South Championship win, upsetting fifth-seededGardner-Webb. The season also saw senior A.J.Yoder pound out a school-record 80 hits whilemoving into third place on the school’s career hits list. In addition, the Keydets opened theseason at #1 North Carolina, marking the first time in program history that VMI had faced thenation’s top team.

As the program embarks on its next era, the VMI baseball story continues what has alreadybeen a dynamic journey.

VMI Superintendent General J.H. Binford Peay III

GGeenneerraall JJ..HH.. BBiinnffoorrdd PPeeaayy IIIIII

General J. H. Binford Peay III,VMI Class of1962, became the Institute's 14thSuperintendent on July 1, 2003.Through Vision2039, he has ushered in a period of enthusi-asm, growth, and change throughout all aspectsof VMI. Never losing sight of VMI's primary"academic focus," which he emphasizes as "firstamong equals," Vision 2039 sets forth a planthat will guide the Institute for decades tocome, as it moves toward its 200th anniver-sary.

Enhancing the physical and cultural environ-ment is a key component for the future. Fullrenovations of Nichols Engineering Hall,Crozet Hall, Mallory Hall, and J.M. Hall haverecently been completed, with a major mod-ernization project at Kilbourne Hall, a newLeadership and Ethics Center, and a thirdBarracks all in "full swing." In addition to thenew third barracks structure, this project willinclude modernization of all rooms in the cur-rent Old and New Barracks as well. GeneralPeay and his staff have also spent hundreds ofhours buried in the details of cadet leadershipfunctions, cadet organizations, the regimentaland class systems, the Honor System, and thecadet daily schedule.

"We must have the daily schedule right; leader-ship, cadet life, study time, management skills,and everything else at VMI evolve around that,"says General Peay.

Academically,VMI remains a clear leader amongundergraduate colleges. In July 2007, theInstitute, in a superb performance, successfullycompleted its ten-year ComplianceCertification by the Southern Association of

Colleges and Schools receiving reaffirmationof accreditation. Modernized and technologi-cally enhanced academic buildings and a fullacademic support staff complement splendidinstructors.The Institute receives annualnational and state recognition for its pro-grams.

Military and athletics combine with academicsto form the historic three-legged stool at VMI,and both play major roles in Vision 2039.Asignificant increase in commissioning is calledfor as General Peay emphasizes the impor-tance of military service, not necessarily as acareer, but rather for a couple of years in thetrue spirit of the citizen-soldier. Over the pastfive years, the percentage of graduating cadetsreceiving commissions has grown from 34%

to 51%.A strong proponent of athletics,Vision2039 (and "every cadet an athlete") calls forhuge capital building efforts which will benefitintercollegiate teams, club teams, intramuralsports, and the Corps in general.The initial andmost obvious effort is the newly renovatedfootball stadium at Alumni Memorial Field, ded-icated - Foster Stadium - in September 2006 inhonor of P.Wesley Foster, Jr.,VMI Class of1956.The Gray-Minor Baseball Stadium, namedin honor of Senator Elmon Gray '46 and G.Gilmer Minor, III '63, and the Paulette LockerRoom complex in honor of Bill Paulette '69were completed and dedicated in March 2007.A lacrosse-soccer stadium, additional multi-purpose fields, new Corps confidence courses,tennis courts, RAT Challenge courses, and animproved cross country "ChessieTrail" are planned for the North Postarea and will "round-out" whatGeneral Peay calls "leadership valley."

General Peay considers hisSuperintendency as an opportunityto give something back to VMI whichhas had such a significant influenceon his life and that of his family. HisFather, J.H.B. Peay, Jr. was a graduateof the VMI Class of 1929, and he andhis wife, Pamela, have two sons, whoare also graduates: Jim, Class of '98,and Ryan, Class of '02. Born inRichmond,Virginia on 10 May 1940,General Peay, upon graduation, wascommissioned a Second Lieutenantof Field Artillery, embarking on a 35-year career in the United StatesArmy. He holds a Bachelor of Sciencedegree in Civil Engineering from VMI,a Masters of Arts degree fromGeorge Washington University, andhe is also a graduate of the United

States Army War College.As a cadet, he was aquarterback on the football team, a member ofthe Honor Court, a Battalion Commander andawarded the Institute's prestigious CincinnatiMedal at graduation.

He assumed command of the 101st AirborneDivision on 3 August 1989 and led the Divisionthroughout Operations DESERT SHIELD andDESERT STORM in the Persian Gulf. Promotedto Lieutenant General in 1991, he was assignedas the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operationsand Plans, Department of the Army and SeniorArmy Member, United States MilitaryCommittee, United Nations and on 26 March1993, he was promoted to the rank of Generaland appointed the 24th Vice Chief of Staff ofthe United States Army.

His last assignment was Commander-in-Chief,United States Central Command, MacDill AirForce Base, Florida, from 5 August 1994 to 13August 1997, with responsibility for the regionencompassing twenty countries in Africa, theMiddle East, Persian Gulf and South Asia.General Peay is currently Chairman, the AlliedDefense Group, and a Director with BAESystems, Inc.

Over the past several years, both the football and base-ball programs have seen their facilities significantlyupgraded with the additions of P.Wesley Foster, Jr. '56Stadium and Gray-Minor Stadium.Also, the Keydet pro-grams have hosted several highly-regarded visitors andset attendance records during White's tenure, includingduring the 2008-09 campaign, as this past season saw VMIlacrosse host top-ranked Virginia and Keydet basketballdraw 5,029 to a game with Big South rival Liberty inCameron Hall.

White is entering his 27th year in VMI Athletics, havingspent 15 seasons as a coach and the past 11 years asAthletic Director. Upon his return in 1998,White imme-diately went to work addressing the challenging issuesfacing the VMI athletic department.At the same time, hehas built support for intercollegiate athletics among theVMI community and its alumni. His effort has resulted ina change in conference affiliation, increased funding foroperations, the development of women's athletics, and abetter overall competitive environment for VMI sports.

In 2008-09, the Keydet programs posted several notableresults:VMI basketball posted 24 wins and came withinjust one victory of the program's fourth NCAA tourna-ment appearance, as twin brothers Chavis and TravisHolmes became the top scoring twins at the NCAADivision I level. In addition, runner Donnie Cowartearned All-American honors in the 3,000-meter steeple-chase, while women's soccer finished at .500 for the firsttime and earned its initial post-season win, a 2-1 winover Winthrop in the first round of the Big SouthChampionship. Finally,VMI won the Big SouthSportsmanship award for the fourth-consecutive season.

White compiled a distinguished VMI coaching career intwo sports spanning 15 years. He joined the football staffin 1971 and helped lead the Keydets to two SouthernConference Championships and a State Championship.White coached the defensive backs to a number onenational ranking in 1975 and a number four ranking thefollowing season. He served as VMI co-defensive coordi-nator from 1976 to 1981 and had the SouthernConference's top-ranked defense in 1977. His defensivebackfields led the conference in pass defense three

times.White also recruited seven football players whowere selected all-conference.

In the fall of 1981,White became VMI head baseballcoach and began to resurrect a program that had notwon a Southern Conference game the three previousyears. His 1982 debut squad compiled six league winsand White was named Southern Conference Co-Coachof the Year. His teams won 85 games in six years and his1987 squad reached the Southern Conference champi-onship game.While serving as baseball coach,White alsotaught on the Physical Education staff as an assistant pro-fessor.

White is a 1965 graduate of VMI with a B.S. degree incivil engineering.As a cadet, he was a DistinguishedMilitary Student, named Who's Who in AmericanColleges and Universities, and was awarded the VMIIntercollegiate Athletic Award for excellence.White co-captained the 1964 VMI football team and was selectedAll-Southern Conference in baseball for three consecu-tive years as a shortstop while also leading the team inbatting.

VVMMII SSppoorrttss IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn The upcoming season promises to be an exciting one and we will do everything we can to keep you up todate on the latest with Keydet baseball. If you have a special request or if we can be of further service toyou, please contact us.

INTERVIEWS: Head coach Marlin Ikenberry will be available for interviews following all home games.Players will also be available for interviews at that time. Both coach and player interviews outside ofpostgame situations must be coordinated through the VMI Sports Information office. Since cadets do nothave phones in their rooms, it is virtually impossible to contact a player directly. However, we will be happyto arrange interviews with any player, usually in the afternoons before practice.

PHOTOGRAPHERS: All photographers are asked to shoot from behind the fences behind home plateand down the first and third base lines. Under no circumstances will photographers be allowed into thedugouts or onto the field during a game. We ask for your cooperation in this matter.

CREDENTIALS: Press and photography passes will be supplied to those media outlets covering VMIBaseball. To request credentials, contact Christian Hoffman (contact info at left). The passes can be mailedout if time allows, or they can be picked up at the ticket stand down the right-field line.

PRESS FACILITIES: For many years, members of the media and visiting SIDs at Patchin Field have under-stood and adapted to the lack of facilities available to those working a game at “The Patch”. With the open-ing of Gray-Minor Stadium, the VMI Sports Information office can finally begin paying back those hard-work-ing individuals by offering the best seat in the house at each VMI home game. As many as eight spaces areavailable at each game for working members of the media in the press box, located directly behind homeplate. As always, statistics and notes will be available prior to each game and a complete box score and play-by-play will be available approximately 10 minutes after the conclusion of each game. We look forward toseeing you out at Gray-Minor Stadium this season to take in an exciting time in VMI Baseball.

RADIO BROADCAST LINES: Visiting teams wishing to broadcast games from Patchin Field are asked tocontact VMI Associate A.D./Athletic Communications Wade Branner (540-464-7515) at least two weeksprior to the game.

KEYDETS ON THE WEB: Fans and media are encouraged to follow the team on the VMI athletic homepage. Timely information on the diamond Keydets will be available to both media and fans alike. Included areschedules, rosters, stats and the latest notes on the team as well as access to live radio broadcasts. Fans andmedia can also view a live stats broadcast of most, if not all, of the team’s contests. The VMI Keydets can beaccessed on the world wide web at www.vmikeydets.com.

ITS VMI, PLEASE: When referring to our athletic teams, it is requested that members of the media referto this institution as "VMI", or "Virginia Military Institute", not "Virginia Military" or the cryptic "Va. Military".Any help in using the correct moniker would be greatly appreciated.
