STORYLINE The Michigan State baseball team will take a break from Big Ten play to face Central Michigan Tuesday in the “Clash at Comerica” in Detroit at 7 p.m. The Spartans defeated the Chippewas at Comerica Park last season, 3-1, in the fi rst-ever collegiate game played at the facility. This year’s game will be televised on BTN. “Last year’s ‘Clash at Comerica’ was a great experience for our players and everyone involved,” said Michigan State head coach Jake Boss. “We’re excited to have another opportunity to play against a quality opponent in one of the best baseball parks in the country. I want to thank Central Michigan Athletics Director Dave Heeke and head coach Steve Jaksa for again taking the lead on this event and making it a reality for the second straight year. I also want to thank the Detroit Tigers, a fi rst-class organization that made us feel welcome and did an excellent job hosting the game. I know the whole Spartan baseball program is looking forward to playing at Comerica Park.” The Spartans enter the midweek contest at 33-17 after claiming the series over Iowa last weekend in East Lansing. With one weekend left to play in the regular season, the Spartans are tied for fourth place in the Big Ten standings with Nebraska at 12-9. Purdue has clinched at least a share of the title with a 16-5 league record, while Indiana and Penn State are tied for second at 13-8. The top-six teams will advance to the Big Ten Tournament May 23-26 in Columbus, Ohio, with the No. 1 and No. 2 teams receiving byes. Michigan State has won four straight over Central Michigan and has already secured the season series for the third consecutive year with two victories earlier this season. Back on March 28 at McLane Baseball Stadium, Jared Hook hit a sacrifi ce fl y in the bottom of the ninth inning to give MSU the 6-5 walk-off win. In the last meeting on April 18 in Mount Pleasant, the Spartans collected 14 hits in downing the Chippewas, 11-1. Central Michigan (28-25) enters Tuesday’s game on a 10-game winning streak following a sweep over Ball State at home last weekend. The Chippewas are 15-9 in Mid-American Conference play, just one game back of MAC West leader Toledo with one league series left to play. CMU has won 12 of its last 15 games since playing Michigan State on April 18. Freshman right-hander Mick VanVossen will get the call on the mound for the Spartans. VanVossen, who has started fi ve midweek games, is 3-0 on the season with a 4.06 ERA. MSU is 5-0 in games he has started. VanVossen allowed fi ve runs, two earned, on four hits in 4 1/3 innings against the Chippewas in his fi rst colle-giate start on March 28. The Ada, Mich., native pitched two scoreless innings in the 2011 Michigan High School Baseball Coaches Association East-West All-Star Game at Comerica Park, starting on the West team. Rick Dodridge is slated to start for Central Michigan, a junior lefty who owns a 2-5 record and 5.75 ERA. Dodridge was in the MAC rotation for the fi rst half of the conference season. In addition to last year’s players who participated in the “Clash at Comerica”, several Spartan freshmen have also seen action at Comerica Park, including Ryan Krill, Blaise Salter and Chase Toth, who played in the 2011 MHSBCA All-Star Game along with VanVossen. “It’s always nice to play at a great stadium like Comerica Park,” said Salter, who was named the 2011 East Team MVP after going 3-for-4. “Knowing all of the great players that have played there makes it special.” MSU returns to Big Ten action Thursday-Saturday to host Penn State at McLane Baseball Stadium.

HEAD COACH JAKE BOSS Jake Boss Jr. was appointed the 16th head coach in Michigan State baseball history on July 1, 2008, and has taken little time to make his mark on the program. In just his third season at MSU in 2011, Boss guided the Spartans to their fi rst Big Ten Championship since 1979 and was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year for his efforts.

Boss, who is currently 126-88 (.589) in his fourth season at MSU, produced the most victories of any Spartan head coach in his fi rst three years with 93 (Tom Smith ranks second with 76 wins from 1983-85). Under Boss’ watch at MSU, players have earned All-Big Ten honors 15 times, including eight selections in 2011, which tied a school record. The six fi rst-team All-Big Ten selections in 2011 were the most in program history and featured Player of the Year Jeff Holm, Pitcher of the Year Kurt Wunderlich and Big Ten batting champion Brandon Eckerle. The 2011 Spartans reached the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game for the fi rst time since 1992 and fi nished the season at 36-21, tying for the third-most wins in program history. Michigan State went 15-9 during Big Ten play and tied with Illinois for the regular-season title, MSU’s fi rst in 32 years. In 2010, Boss guided the Spartans to a 34-19 record in 2010, tying for the fi fth-most wins

in program history. MSU opened the year winning 20 of its fi rst 25 games, the best 25-game start since 1971, and racked up an 11-game winning streak during that stretch, the longest since 2004. Six Spartans have been drafted during Boss’ tenure at MSU (2009: Eric Roof, 18th round, Detroit; 2010: Jonathan Roof, 8th round, Texas; A.J. Achter, 46th round, Minnesota; 2011: Jeff Holm, 12th round, Detroit; Kurt Wunderlich, 20th round, Oakland; Brandon Eckerle, 32nd round, Detroit) . A Lansing native with 18 years of coaching experience, including 16 at the collegiate level, Boss was named the 2008 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year and led Eastern Michigan to the NCAA Regionals in his fi rst year as a head coach.

2011 “CLASH AT COMERICA” RECAP In the fi rst collegiate baseball game at Comerica Park, the Michigan State baseball team beat Central Michigan, 3-1, on Wednesday, April 20 in downtown Detroit. The game took just one hour and 53 minutes. The Spartans jumped ahead of the Chippewas in the top of the fi rst inning with three runs. With one out, Ryan Jones extended his hitting streak to 22 games with a single through the right side. Jeff Holm followed with a double into the left centerfi eld gap, scoring Jones from fi rst.

Torsten Boss, who walked earlier in the inning, plated the fi nal run of the inning on a RBI groundout by Joel Fisher. Central Michigan got on the board in the bottom of the fi rst behind a RBI double by William Arnold. Both starting pitchers - Andrew Waszak for MSU and Bryce Morrow for CMU - settled down after the initial inning, posting scoreless frames for the rest of the game.

I want to thank

Central Michigan Athletics Director Dave Heeke and head coach Steve Jaksa for again taking the lead on this event and making it a reality for the second straight year.

In front of numerous scouts against St. John’s, Boss delivered a solo homer in his fi rst at-bat of 2012 off of preseason All-American Kyle Hansen, hitting a 94-mph fastball over the left-center fi eld wall. In his fi rst at-bat in College Station, Texas, Boss hit another solo blast, this time against preseason Big 12 Pitcher of the Year and projected fi rst-rounder Michael Wacha.

WIEBER BECOMES MSU’S ALL-TIME SAVES LEADER• Junior right-hander Tony Wieber became MSU’s all-time saves leader on April 1 as he recorded his 15th career save in the 2-1 win over Ohio State.

He also compiled a perfect 5-0 record with a 3.64 ERA and struck out 38 batters in 42.0 innings.

IRON MAN• Senior shortstop Justin Scanlon has started every game at shortstop for MSU the past two seasons - 107 straight - since transferring from Madison Junior College. • Voted a captain by his teammates prior to the season, Scanlon was named the Big Ten’s “best defensive fi elder” in a survery of conference coaches conducted by College Baseball Insider. • Scanlon played for the Madison Mallards in the Northwoods League last summer.

TEAM EFFORT BEHIND THE DISH• Michigan State has used three different starting catchers this season: junior John Martinez (23 games), sophomore Joel Fisher (22) and senior Andy Johnson (5). • Fisher entered the year as the starter after earning All-Big Ten Freshman Team honors in 2011, but he injured his leg in the second game of the season Feb. 18 vs. South Florida. He returned to the starting lineup at catcher against Bowling Green in late March and has started 17 of MSU’s 21 Big Ten games. • Martinez, who was the primary catcher in Fisher’s absence, has started a career-high 23 games at catcher this season.

BIG WINS• Michigan State has three wins over ranked teams this season (No. 11 St. John’s on Feb. 17, No. 25 Baylor on March 7, No. 13 Purdue on April 29). • MSU’s victory over the 11th-ranked Red Storm on Opening Day was the highest-ranked team MSU has defeated since taking down No. 6 Rice on March 7, 2008, in Houston. St. John’s, the preseason Big East favorite, was ranked No. 11 by Collegiate Baseball. • The Spartans also shut out 25th-ranked Baylor, 4-0, at Baylor Ballpark on March 7.

MISCELLANEOUS STATS


BUCCIFERRO, SCANLON VOTED TEAM CAPTAINS• Senior right-handed pitcher Tony Bucciferro and senior shortstop Justin Scanlon have been voted captains by their teammates for the 2012 season.

FAMILIAR FACES• Michigan State returned six starters from its Big Ten Championship team to its lineup in 2012: sophomore catcher Joel Fisher, junior second baseman Ryan Jones, senior shortstop Justin Scanlon, junior left fi elder Jordan Keur, junior designated hitter Jared Hook, and junior third baseman Torsten Boss. • On the mound, MSU welcomed back three starters with weekend experience (senior Tony Bucciferro, junior Andrew Waszak, sophomore David Garner). • In the bullpen, nine letterwinners returned, including junior closer Tony Wieber, seniors Bryce Jenney and Tim Simpson, and lefties Jeff Kinley, Ryan Martin and Trey Popp.

WATCH ME• Michigan State landed a school-record six players on the All-Big Ten First Team last year, and three are back for the Spartans in 2012: senior right-handed pitcher Tony Bucciferro, junior center fi elder Torsten Boss and junior second baseman Ryan Jones. All three were named “Players to Watch” by the Big Ten coaches. • In addition, the Spartans retured third-team selections Tony Wieber (relief pitcher) and Jared Hook (designated hitter), along with All-Freshman Team picks David Garner (pitcher) and Joel Fisher (catcher).

HARD TO REPLACE• Although Boss, Bucciferro and Jones returned, Michigan State had the diffi cult task of replacing the other three All-Big Ten fi rst-team selections from a year ago. • First baseman Jeff Holm was named the 2011 Big Ten Player of the Year and a third-team All-American after batting .376 with nine homers and 61 RBIs; Kurt Wunderlich became the fi rst Spartan to be earn Big Ten Pitcher of the Year honors as he led the league with 10 wins and set a school record with 101.2 innings pitched; and Brandon Eckerle set MSU career and single-season records for hits and was just the second Spartan to win the overall Big Ten batting title. • Holm (12th round, Detroit), Wunderlich (20th round, Oakland) and Eckerle (32nd round, Detroit) were all chosen in the 2011 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft last June.

GET OUT THE BROOMS• In his three-plus seasons, MSU head coach Jake Boss has collected 12 series sweeps (three games or more), the most of any Spartan coach in school history. Tom Smith ranks second with nine series sweeps from 1983-95. Six of those sweeps have been against Big Ten opponents.

HONORING “SKIP”• MSU is wearing a black circular patch on all of its jerseys this season with the No. 1 and “Skip” embroidered on it in memory of former coach Danny Litwhiler, who passed away last September at the age of 95. Few men in baseball have compiled the list of honors that Litwhiler did during his distinguished career in the game. • Considered to be one of the greatest innovators in the history of the sport, Litwhiler had a combined record of 679-445-9 (.603) in 28 years of coaching Division I collegiate baseball at both Florida State (1955-63) and Michigan State (1964-82) and guided his teams to 10 appearances in the NCAA Tournament. Litwhiler was inducted into the American Association of College Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in 1980 and was a recipient of the “Lefty Gomez Award” for outstanding contributions and distinguished service to college baseball. • During his 19 seasons at MSU, Litwhiler, who was known to his players as “Skip,” amassed a record of 489-362-8 (.574), captured Big Ten Championships in 1971 and 1979, and led the Spartans to NCAA Tournament berths in 1971, 1978 and 1979. Litwhiler compiled a nine-year record of 190-83-1 (.695) from 1955-63 at Florida State and led the Seminoles to seven NCAA Tournament and three College World Series appearances (1957, 1962, 1963) before coming to MSU. Not only were his players successful at Michigan State, but 13 of Litwhiler’s players progressed to the major leagues, including Kirk Gibson, Rick Miller, Steve Garvey and Mel Behney. • A great player and coach, Litwhiler also served as an ambassador and innovator. He was the International President for the U.S. Baseball Federation from 1978-83, and perhaps his greatest innovation and the most widely-known was the development of the radar speed gun, with the fi rst prototype used at Michigan State now residing in the Baseball Hall of Fame. KIRK GIBSON HAS JERSEY NUMBER HONORED AT FIRST PITCH DINNER• Before a record crowd of nearly 600 people at the 2012 First Pitch Dinner on Jan. 28, former Michigan State All-America outfi elder Kirk Gibson became just the second player and the fourth Spartan in program history to have his jersey number (No. 30) honored, joining Hall of Famer Robin Roberts (No. 36) and Spartan coaching legends John Kobs (No. 25) and Danny Litwhiler (No. 1). • Gibson hit .390 with 16 homers and 52 RBIs in his lone season for the Spartans before getting drafted in the fi rst round (No. 12 overall) by the Detroit Tigers in the 1978 MLB Draft. Gibson’s number will join Kobs, Litwhiler and Roberts on the right-fi eld fence at McLane Baseball Stadium for the 2012 season.• Gibson was also a four-year letterwinner in football and garnered All-America honors as a senior in 1978 after catching 42 passes for 806 yards (19.2 avg.) while helping lead the Spartans to the Big Ten Championship. • In his fi rst full season as manager, Gibson was named the 2011 National League Manager of the Year after helping guide the Arizona Diamondbacks to the NL West title. A two-time World Series Champion, Gibson was named the Most Valuable Player in the National League in 1988 as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is one of just four people in Major League Baseball history, along with Frank Robinson, Joe Torre and Don Baylor, to be named both MVP and Manager of the Year.
