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 seven seasons, the VMI baseball program has enjoyed unprecedented success. Winninggames against top-10 teams, receiving national rankings and being regarded as one of the top programsin the state and in the region are now attributes of a program built under head coach Marlin Ikenberry.

Ikenberry concluded his seventh season, 2010, at the helm of the program as the winningest coach in thehistory of VMI Baseball. In recent years, the Keydets posted three consecutive winning seasons for the first timein 52 years, defeated a ranked team for four straight years, and in 2010, earned VMI's first win over a top-rankedteam in Institute history, beating #1 Virginia at Gray-Minor Stadium.This year's team set new school records forbatting average (.325), slugging percentage (.529), hits (629), runs (414), doubles (133), home runs (78), RBIs (390),

at bats (1933) and total bases (1022).On the mound, the staff ’s 441 strikeouts were tied for the most in school history, while the team’s 8.26 strikeouts per nine innings rate is the third-best. In

addition, the 11 saves the team posted is tied for fourth on the list and the 3.46 walks per nine innings rate comes in seventh. Finally, the team’s ERA (5.43)ranks ninth in the Alumnium Bat Era.

Marlin Ikenberry was named head coach on July 22, 2003, being promoted to the top spot in the program after former head coach Tom Slater departedVMI 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 of teams ranked in the top 10 nationally for the first time in program history. As a result,VMI Baseball earned itsfirst-ever national ranking, being tabbed 30th in the country by Collegiate Baseball in back-to-back weeks while also receiving votes in the Writers’ Poll.

Hailed as one of the state's top recruiters, Ikenberry has signed several players that have enjoyed great success in Lexington. He is responsible for the sign-ing of two Louisville Slugger Freshman All-Americans, a Southern Conference Freshman of the Year, five Big South First-Team All-Conference selections and a2003 All-SoCon Tournament player.

Ikenberry, 38, served as VMI's recruiting coordinator and pitching and catching coach in 2003 and was vital in the staff's remarkable improvement that sea-son.Working closely with the Keydet pitchers and catchers, Ikenberry helped guide the pitching staff to an improvement of nearly two runs in team earned runaverage from the previous season.

"We're very excited to have Marlin Ikenberry as our head baseball coach," VMI athletic director and former Keydets head baseball coach Donny White saidupon Ikenberry's hiring. "He has all the ingredients to be a great head coach. His recruiting work has made a difference in the program and has certainly beeninstrumental to our success. He has the leadership and abilities to build on the program's recent performance and reach the goal of a conference championship."

The next season,William and Mary won the CAAChampionship and earned a berth in the NCAA Regional Tournament. During his time inWilliamsburg, Ikenberry coached future Major Leaguer Brendan Harris and recruited future MajorLeaguer Chris Ray and current professional player Chris Shaver.

Assistant Coaches

Daniel Latham, former assistant coach atHigh Point and 15th-round draft pick ofthe Minnesota Twins, has been named the

new assistant coach for VMI baseball. Latham’s pri-mary responsibilities will be developing and men-toring the Keydet pitchers.

Latham comes to VMI from Big South rivalHigh Point, where he primarily worked with thepitching staff. He was also responsible for thePanthers’ baseball camps, as well as other areas ofthe program, including travel and academics. Lathamcame to High Point after playing one year in theMinnesota Twins organization, which he was draftedby following a standout career at Tulane.

Latham, who worked out of the bullpen whileat Tulane, ranks as the all-time leader in saves inConference USA (43).That total is also a Tulane record, while his 122 appearances (121 inrelief) rank second.Among NCAA career leaders, Latham still ranks sixth in saves, ninth inrelief appearances and 15th in overall appearances.

Perhaps Latham’s strongest collegiate season was 2005, when he helped Tulane reachthe College World Series as a sophomore.The new VMI assistant notched four saves and awin in postseason play that year, and would go on to be named team MVP for the HyannisMets in the well-known Cape Cod League that summer. He would return to the Cape thefollowing season and earn All-Star honors, before being tabbed by the Twins in the 15thround in 2007.

Latham received his bachelor’s degree in communications from Tulane in 2007, and isa native of Covington, La.

Ikenberry on Latham - “I am very excited to add Daniel to our staff. He played ata high level of college baseball at Tulane, and comes from a great mentor in Craig Cozart atHigh Point. I believe that Daniel will bring a lot of energy, passion and knowledge to ourpitching staff.”

Jonathan Hadra, a four-year letterman and 2004graduate of VMI, recently completed his firstseason back coaching with the Keydets. Hadra

worked with the infielders and hitters during the2010 season, and the team reaped immediaterewards.

Not only did the offense break nine schoolrecords, including batting average, home runs andtotal bases, but the team posted the third-bestfielding percentage in VMI history. Junior SamRoberts was a quarterfinalist for the BrooksWallace Award, presented to the nation's topshortstop, while his fellow infielders Jordan Ballardand Cory Spangenberg also had banner years underHadra's tutelage. Ballard hit 18 home runs, claimedthe career VMI record in that category (41) andwas a 33rd-round draft pick of the ColoradoRockies. Spangenberg earned three Freshman All-American honors, was the Big SouthFreshman of the Year and ranked in the top-10 in the conference in seven different cate-gories.

Hadra, who spent the 2009 season at Bradley, brought five years of coaching experi-ence back to Lexington. Upon his graduation, Hadra coached with VMI in 2005 beforeworking three years at Western Kentucky under VMI graduate Chris Finwood, where hehelped the Hilltoppers to a berth in the 2008 NCAA Regionals after capturing the Sun BeltConference Tournament.

At Bradley, Hadra worked to bring in a freshman class of 16 that was named one ofthe top recruiting classes in the nation by Collegiate Baseball. Included in the haul were apair of Junior College All-Americans, a High School All-American and three players thatwere drafted by MLB clubs. Under Hadra’s tutelage, Bradley center fielder Nick Mitidieroearned 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.” Nachion Moore, a former Big South player,

was named VMI’s newest volunteer assis-tant on Sept. 28, 2010.

Moore was a four-year veteran of the BigSouth ranks as a utility infielder and catcher. Heplayed under two different coaching staffs atRadford, and was an active member of the StudentAthletic Advisory Committee. He also was nominat-ed for the NCAA Leadership Conference during histime as a Highlander, which concluded the 2009 sea-son. Moore graduated from Radford in May of 2009with a Bachelor of Science degree in SportsMedicine.

The newest addition to the Keydet staff,Moore was employed in the business world atLewis-Gale Hospital in Salem,Va., acting as an assistant to a Physical Therapist. He has alsoworked in a similar position in Blacksburg,Va., during his undergraduate career.

Ikenberry on Moore- “I am excited to have Nachion on staff, he has a passion tocoach and will be a great addition to our program. He has coached the last two summers,and brings great energy to the field every day.”

Diamond ClubKeydet Baseball Fans:

The Diamond Club's mission has always been to help sup-port the baseball program in areas that are deemed criti-cal needs. Last year, our 200 Diamond Club membershelped raise almost $10,000 to support the transition ofthe baseball staff offices being moved down to the baseballfield in the old welding shop. This transition is currently inthe works, and we hope to have it completed very soonthanks to your help!

This year the idea of budget cuts are staring us right in the face, and we need to ensure thatwe can weather this economic storm and keep our program at the level it is now! We con-tinue to strive to make our program one of the best in Virginia and the Big South Conference,and it is critical we provide adequate funding for our team!

Last season we had great success with the Diamond Club weekends and post game cookouts.This season we want to continue putting on post-game cook-outs with the team and theirfamilies (see application for cook-out dates).

As in years past, we will let everyone know of any impromptu pregame functions. Last yearthe Diamond Club and the Keydet Club held a pregame event before the UVA game, andwhat a great time it was to enjoy both the pregame event and our program's win over #1UVA at home! The team cook-outs are a great way to get to know today's players and seeold faces of the baseball program at the same time.

All members of the Diamond Club this year will receive the weekly game notes and one, freegame ticket to one of the three games that include post-game cookouts.As a charter member,your membership cost is still only $50; for new members, it will be $75 this year.

Season Preview

The VMI baseball program is about to begin a campaign that could signal ashift in the team’s dynamic. For the first several years under head coachMarlin Ikenberry, the Keydets were known for their pitching. Names like

Travis Smink, Michael Bowman and Trey Barham, all now in the professionalranks, led the way. In 2010, however, while the pitching remained solid, theoffense exploded to break nine school records and push the team to its highestnational ranking ever, 26th. Unfortunately for VMI, three starters, including JordanBallard, the program’s career home run leader, and Tanner Biagini, the longtimethird baseman, will not return in 2011.

With those losses, the team now appears to shift back to a pitching-orient-ed squad, led by an all-upperclass weekend rotation and a hard-throwing backend of the bullpen.The Keydets return 15 pitchers and 31 of their 33 wins fromthe 2010 squad, and lose just one, all while adding a solid supporting cast thatincludes lefties Campbell Henkel, Joey Zarella and Connor Bach, as well as right-hander Rian Ellis.This could set the stage for many well-pitched games at Gray-Minor Stadium this season, where the Keydets will host 26 regular season games,

as well as the Big SouthChampionship (May 24-28).“With the new standardsfor bats in collegiate base-ball, I think there will bemore of a focus on pitch-ing and defense,” said VMIhead coach MarlinIkenberry.“This benefitsus, as we return nearlyour entire pitching stafffrom last season. HavingAdam Lopez, Jason Farleyand Sam Roberts back onour staff, along with mix-ing in Jeremy Brown,Coby Cowgill andCampbell Henkel as pos-

sible starters, is exciting for us. It’s good to have that much rotation depth, andwe have the same situation in the bullpen.We’ve got Alan Watts, John Garrettand Michael Devine at the back end of the ballgame, along with strong middlerelief, which will help us shorten the game.We have a chance to get a lot of guysinnings early. Going into the season, pitching is the name of the game, and wehave a lot of depth in that area.We expect that will help us be extremely com-petitive.”

CatcherThe Keydets return Alex Haitsuka as their primary backstop for 2011. Haitsukacaught 48 games last season, and was named Second Team All-Big South on thestrength of his best career campaign, a season that saw him hit .348 with sevenhome runs. He also drastically improved his defense during his junior season.

“We expect big things out of Alex this year,” said Coach Ikenberry.“Behindhim,Andrew Montague and Justin Topping will be pushing for time.The big thingfor Justin is to stay healthy, as we’ll be looking to him to help fill a DH role aswell. Matt Winn, a freshman, has the ability to see innings behind the plate, as he’san excellent defensive catcher.”

Backing Haitsuka up will be the aforementioned Topping andMontague, while all three could rotate in and out of the designated hitter role.Both Topping and Montague have seen time at catcher throughout their careers,with the veteran Topping going into his senior season and the youngsterMontague coming off a strong freshman season.The sophomore hit .389 in 20games last year, including posting hits in all three games of the Big SouthChampionships.Topping struggled with injuries, hitting just .257, but will be look-ing to get back to his 2008 (.298 BA) levels in his final collegiate campaign.Winn, a freshman out of Richmond, will provide depth at the position.

InfieldThe Keydet infield will have questions to answer in 2011, as the team loses threeof its top players, including Jordan Ballard and Tanner Biagini to the professionalranks. None of those questions, however, will come from the shortstop position,where Sam Roberts is the infield’s lone returning, full-time starter from a yearago.The senior was named to the Brooks Wallace Award Watch List last season,an honor given to the country’s top shortstop, and thanks to his standing as the

Keydets’ #3 starting pitcher,was also tabbed to the firstJohn Olerud Award WatchList, given to the country’stop two-way player.

Roberts had hits in 15of the season’s first 16games, en route to a .336batting average and becom-ing only the second Keydetever to have 50 RBI and 50runs scored in the same sea-son. He has also started over150 consecutive games atfive different positions, as hehas not missed a game sincethe 2008 season.

“Sam is the catalyst ofour program,” offered CoachIkenberry.“We’ve asked himto do a lot over the years, ashe’s moved from right fieldto shortstop, and from closerto the weekend rotation onthe mound.Without question, he’s one of the best players to come through VMI.The only question for him this season is if he’ll be in the weekend rotation orpitching mid-week games, which depends on how our other starters do.Obviously, that will evolve as the season goes on.”

Currently slated to start alongside Roberts is junior George Piccirilli.Piccirilli showed flashes of potential last season, his first full year after moving outfrom behind the plate.The junior hit his first career home run Feb. 28 versusLafayette, and also had two RBI in the first game of that series as well. He will bepressed by Justin Hess, who returns to the team after a two-year absence. Hesswas the squad’s regular center fielder in 2008, when he posted a 5 for 5 gameagainst Maryland-Eastern Shore and hit .277 overall.

In 2011, Chase Worthington will become the full-time starter at the hotcorner.Worthington stepped in last season, following a Biagini injury, and hit .367in 38 games (25 starts).Those numbers included an on-base percentage of .420and a 12-game hitting streak late in the season.

Across the diamond, Berkley Hawkins will begin the year as the regular firstbaseman. Hawkins, a freshman out of Richmond, distinguished himself during thefall season and will have the first chance to replace Ballard.The new Keydet firstbaseman comes to VMI as his high school’s all-time home run leader, single-sea-son home run leader and single-season RBI leader. Fellow freshman and two-wayplayer Connor Bach, a solid left-handed hitter, will also see time.

“In addition to playing Berkeley at first base, we’ll also be playing Alex thereoccasionally early in the year, as well as Connor,” said Coach Ikenberry.“It willallow Alex to get rest frombeing behind the plate, as wellas allow us to do things withour lineup that we haven’tbeen able to do in the past.”

Finally, freshmen ChrisRusso, Cody Holder andJordan Tarsovich will providedepth all over the infield.

“The biggest questionmark on our infield is findingour everyday second base-man,” said Coach Ikenberry.“George had a great fall forus, but we do have depththere. Chris and Jordan willalso be in the mix. One of ourluxuries is Justin, a formerstarting outfielder who canalso play infielder, and we’lluse him in multiple roles togive us options as the seasongoes on. Cody Holder, another

OutfieldIn contrast to the infield, the Keydet outfield returns all three starters from aseason ago. Graham Sullivan will lead the way after a career year in 2010, a sea-son that saw him hit .358 with 10 home runs. Sullivan also drove in 55 runs, ashe started every game en route to Second Team All-Conference honors, just oneseason after being moved to left field. He will return to that position this year,

and will play alongside sopho-more Rob Dickinson.

Dickinson, who was origi-nally expected to be a platoonplayer as a freshman, was oneof the Keydets’ biggest surpris-es last year. He hit a robust.333 with 19 extra base hits,and struck out just 19 times in165 at-bats. Dickinson servednotice of his talent quickly,posting nine hits in his first sixcareer games, including a pair ofhome runs. He also hit homeruns against Virginia and VirginiaTech, and had his first careerfour-hit game late in the yearagainst Presbyterian College.

“We return all threestarting outfielders in 2011,”said Coach Ikenberry.“Grahamproved he was a legitimate out-fielder last year, and Rob is ourbest defensive outfielder.They’llbe mainstays in left and center

field, while Jacob Morley should be in right field every day. Freshman Eric Mayerscan play the corner outfield positions and will push for time as well, while again,Justin Hess and Jordan Tarsovich could see time. In fact, we consider being ableto play those two players in the outfield against left-handed pitching one of themajor benefits of our team’s depth. Brooks Martin also returns, and Matt “Lefty”Flora has converted to full-time outfielder and will give us a left-handed bat offthe bench. He’s done a nice job this fall.We can also run Andrew Montague outto the outfield to get his bat in the lineup.”

Morley is currently slotted as the starting right fielder, a year after hit-ting .296 in 51 games. Morley also had four home runs, in addition to his team-leading 11 sacrifice bunts, a total that tied him for fourth in the Big South.

Starting PitchingIn contrast to last season,the Keydet rotationreturns all three starters,led by Friday hurlerLopez. Last year, the 6-5right-hander compiled a5-3 mark and rankedfourth in the Big South instrikeouts with 89, whichhe accomplished whilewalking just 29. He alsostruck out better than abatter per inning andmore than 11 per nineinnings during his first fullyear as a starter.In the #2 slot of the VMIrotation is left-handerFarley, a former highschool All-American whocame into his own lastyear, pitching a redshirt

sophomore.After opening the year in the bullpen, Farley moved into the rotationin early March and blossomed, finishing eighth in the Big South in ERA (4.12).

Rounding out the Keydet weekend starters will be Roberts. Robertsshowed flashes of dominance last season, including a run of four starts out of five(Mar. 7 - April 3) when he pitched at least seven innings and gave up no morethan two runs.VMI does, however, have the ability to move their senior leader toa midweek role, thanks to the presence of Brown, Cowgill and Henkel.

“Being able to keep Sam at shortstop would be important, and Coby’slooked good this fall,” offered Coach Ikenberry. “We would much rather be ableto pitch Sam in the middle of the week, so that he could focus on shortstopduties during weekend series. He’s one of the best utility players in college base-ball, and we’re going to utilize him to the best of his ability to help us be success-ful. “

For midweek games, the Keydets will turn first to junior Brown. Brown wasthe starting pitcher, and winner, in VMI’s 12-3 win over #1 Virginia last season,while Cowgill pitched a complete game at The Citadel in mid-March.

Also available for midweek games will be right-hander Thomas, who wassolid last year in limited action. Freshman Henkel, a highly touted recruit out ofSt. Christopher’s inRichmond, is a lefty whothrew a perfect game anda no-hitter within 10 daysof each other in last sea-son’s state playoffs.

Relief PitchingThe bullpen may very wellbe the strength of the2011 Keydets, as the unitreturns the majority of itskey cogs.

Devine will lead theway for VMI once again, ayear after he ranked thirdin the Big South withseven saves. Devine iscomplemented by fellowright-handers Garrett andWatts. Garrett held oppo-nents to a .215 averagelast season, while Watts showed greatly improved command this fall and could fitwell into the seventh inning role. Having these three hurlers at the back end ofthe bullpen could effectively shorten games for the Keydets in 2011.

“We’re very excited about the back end of our bullpen,” said CoachIkenberry.“With three potentially dominant pitchers, we can shorten games andreally play to our strengths as a team.We also have depth in middle relief, withyoungsters like Travis Thomas and veterans like Adam Kruithof.Andrew Deal andKarter Rivera will still be in the mix, as will many of our candidates for midweekstarts.”

From the right side, VMI boasts additional depth, as Ryan Barefoot returnsand freshman Rian Ellis joins the program. Of the right-handed corps,Thomaswas notably solid last season, despite his 6.94 ERA.When the two worst outingsof Thomas’ 2010 are taken out of the equation, that ERA falls to 4.12, a strongfigure for a collegiate freshman.

From the left side, freshman Henkel could play a significant role. He will bejoined by junior Karter Rivera and freshman Bach, while Joey Zarella could alsosee time.

Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conferencehas matured into a competitive leader in college ath-letics, actively pursuing excellence on the field ofplay and in the classroom.The League’s growing pres-ence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference isevident by athletic accomplishments on the nationalstage, innovative marketing and media partnerships,increased television packages, and quality athleticcompetition while intentionally fostering the academ-ic, personal, social, athletic and leadership develop-ment of each student-athlete.This has evolved intothe Conference’s mission of “Developing LeadersThrough Athletics.”

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 Carolinaand Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M.Singleton was selected as the League’s firstCommissioner and continued to solicit new mem-bers. His efforts led to the additions of ArmstrongState, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the BigSouth more than the required six members to con-stitute an official conference.

The Big South’s first year of competition was in theFall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big SouthConference was granted full-fledged NCAA DivisionI status. During its infancy and prior to securingautomatic bids to NCAA Championships, the BigSouth made early strides in earning at-large berths inseveral national postseason events, including volley-ball, 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-maticqualifier 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 fi nest teams inthe nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replacedSasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his14 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander hasbeen instrumental in aggressively promoting theConference to new heights.The Conference hasenjoyed record levels in marketing revenue duringthe past several years, he has

brought television coverage to Big South women’sbasketball, baseball and softball for the first time inConference history, as well as increased national tel-evision exposure to the League as a whole throughaggressive and unique television 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 PresbyterianCollege, and in 2011-12, the return of charter mem-ber Campbell University.

Kallander’s long range vision has also included tech-nological advancements, as the Conference intro-duced its first live event video streaming in 2005 andhas since expanded its video offerings to more than700 events annually through a partnership with themember institutions, as well as the creation ofseveral online and social media platforms.

In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conferencehas experienced monumental growth and success innearly every sport. During this time, the Conferencehas had four individual National Champions, morethan 220 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16”in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball,has received national Top 25 rankings in football,men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball,baseball, men’s outdoor track & fi eld, and men’s golf,had an individual selected to play in the NCAASingles Championship five times in additionto the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection,had the No. 1-ranked men’s golfer in the country,has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketballteam four consecutive years as well as the nationalmen’s basketball scoring leader twice, received anat-large playoff berth in the Football ChampionshipSubdivision in 2006, has had four NFL Draft picks,has had seven Olympians, had its first NBA playersince the mid-90s, and had an institution finishfifth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships -- the

Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAAevent.

In 2006-07, the Big South was the only Conferencenationwide to have an at-largeparticipant in the foot-ball playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the SecondRound of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament(Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA BaseballRegionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, CoastalCarolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seedfour out of the last six years -- including a nationalseed for the first time in 2010, while theChanticleers’ FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in justthe fifth year of the Big South’s football existence.

The 2009-10 season saw Liberty’s Sam Chelangawin two NCAA National Championships (CrossCountry, Outdoor Track 10,000-meter run), CoastalCarolina’s baseball team reached the Super Regionalsfor the second time in three years as well as beingranked No. 1 in the national RPI and as high as No. 3in the national polls; and three women’s basketballteams reach the postseason for the first time inConference history.Two former Big South student-athletes also reached national prominence last year.VMI’s Reggie Williams reached the NBA with theGolden State Warriors, and Coastal Carolina’s DustinJohnson captured his third PGA Tour win during histhird year on the tour.The Conference’s tagline,“Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiledin 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s25th Anniversary.The League also honored its her-itage by unveiling the Top 25 “Best of the Best”moments in League history from1983-2008, 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 of Conferencestudent-athletes are named to the Big South’sPresidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative3.0 gradepoint average, and the League has had morethan 95 Academic All- Americans in its 26 years ofexistence.

Noting The KeydetsAll-Conference Keydets:

Four Keydets, including returners AlexHaitsuka and Graham Sullivan, earned All-Conference honors following the 2010 season.

Senior first baseman Jordan Ballard wasVMI's lone First Team All-Conference honoree,marking the sixth straight season the Keydetshave had an infielder named to the First Team.Haitsuka, Sullivan and Cory Spangenberg werenamed to the league’s Second Team, whileHaitsuka was also named to the All-AcademicTeam and Spangenberg was the Freshman ofthe Year.

Ballard (Troy, Va.) earned First Team All-Conference honors after ranking second on thecircuit with 18 home runs and a .635 sluggingpercentage. VMI's career leader with 41 homeruns, Ballard also ranks among the top 10 careersluggers in Big South history with that total. Inleague play in 2010, Ballard accounted for 32RBIs in 27 contests, hitting 10 home runs with 70total bases. He is VMI's first First Team selectionat first base since Marshall Simpson did so in theSoCon in 1990.

Haitsuka's (Alexandria, Va.) Second Teamselection comes after the junior hit a career-high.348 with seven doubles, seven home runs and29 RBIs. He becomes the first Keydet catcher toearn All-Conference accolades since VMI joinedthe Big South.

Sullivan (Manassas, Va.) enjoyed a standoutseason for the Keydets in 2010, hitting .357 with19 doubles, 10 home runs and 55 RBIs. AnotherKeydet that started each contest, Sullivan rankedamong the top 10 in the league in total bases,RBIs, slugging percentage, doubles and homeruns. He enjoyed a 27-game stretch duringwhich he hit .424 with 12 doubles, eight homeruns and 43 RBIs, and had game-winning hitsagainst High Point, Lafayette, UNC Asheville and

JMU. His selection marks the first time that VMIhas had an All-Conference outfielder since RyanGlynn earned First Team honors in the SoCon in1995.

The Keydets' haul of four All-Conferenceplayers is the most since VMI joined the BigSouth, and the most VMI has had in a singleseason since claiming four honorees in theSoCon in 2000.

Keydets Assault Record Books:There is little doubt that 2010 will be

regarded as the best offensive season in VMI’sbaseball history. The team shattered most of theoffensive standards en route to one of its mostsuccessful seasons on record.

The team set new school records for bat-ting average (.325), slugging percentage (.529),hits (629), runs (414), doubles (133), home runs(78), RBIs (390), at bats (1933) and total bases(1022). As far as percentages go, this year’s .328batting average and .536 slugging percentagewould each top the charts.

On the mound, the staff’s 441 strikeoutswere tied for the most in school history, whilethe team’s 8.26 strikeouts per nine innings rate isthe third-best. In addition, the 11 saves theteam posted is tied for fourth on the list and the3.46 walks per nine innings rate comes in sev-enth. Finally, the team’s ERA (5.43) ranks ninth inthe Alumnium Bat Era.

The team also fielded at a .963 clip, a num-ber that ranks as the third-best in program his-tory.

Roberts Named to Olerud AwardWatch List:

Just days after being selected as one of 25quarterfinalists for the Brooks Wallace Award,presented annually to the nation’s top shortstop,

junior SamRoberts wasnamed one of 25players on theinaugural JohnOlerud Two-WayPlayer of theYear AwardWatch List.

Roberts(Prince George,Va./PrinceGeorge) did it allfor the Keydetsas a junior, start-ing every gameeither on themound, in thefield at short-stop, or at desig-

nated hitter. Roberts tied for the team lead withsix wins as a weekend starter while hitting .336with 16 doubles, nine home runs and 52 RBIs.

Roberts was the only player on the 25-manlist to also be named a Quarterfinalist for theWallace Award and was one of just two BigSouth players on the Olerud Award Watch List,joining Coastal Carolina’s Josh Conway.

Noting The KeydetsIkenberry Hits Top Five In BigSouth:

With VMI’s 2-1 win over Asheville on April3, Marlin Ikenberry scored his 184th career victo-ry, moving him into fifth place on the all-timeBig South Coaching Wins list.

Already the career wins leader at VMI,Ikenberry is currently 194-189 and is one of justtwo coaches with at least five seasons coachedat VMI to post a winning percentage over .500,currently at .507.

He needs 35 more victories to surpassRadford’s Lew Kent for fourth on the Big Southchart and 87 to take over third from Coastal’sJohn Vrooman.

Roberts Listed as Quarterfinalistfor Brooks Wallace Award:

Junior Sam Roberts made the short list forthe Brooks Wallace Award, presented annually tothe nation’s top shortstop. Roberts was listed asone of 25 quarterfinalists for the award, becom-ing the first Keydet to be so honored.

Roberts enjoyed a career year for theKeydets as a junior, posting 14 doubles, 11 homeruns, 56 runs scored and 52 RBIs from the lead-off spot. Those last two stats placed him asonly the second player in program history to jointhe 50-50 club, along with Robert Crumpler ‘07.

With an impressive showing at the BigSouth Championship, Roberts hit .336 with acareer-high .448 on-base percentage, thanks inlarge part to his 43 walks, the second-most inthe Big South. He ranked second on the teamwith nine stolen bases and had 21 multiple-hitgames and 13 outings with multiple runs drivenin in 2010.

He reached base safely in 51 of VMI’s 55games in 2010 and has now started 149 consec-utive games, which ranks among the 25 longeststreaks in the country. During the stretch, hehas made starts at shortstop, pitcher, right field,center field and designated hitter.

Runs Hard to Come By:While the Keydets had no problem

scoring runs in bunches early in 2010,the going was tough offensively downthe stretch.

After averaging 9.32 runs pergame and hitting .355 during theteam’s 29-5 start, the Keydets averaged4.00 runs per game and hit .253 duringthe team’s 11-game losing streak inlate April.

Over the first 34 games of theyear, the team scored in double digits15 times and scored at least seven runson 24 occasions. In those 11 losses,VMI did not score more than nine runs

in a game, surpassing the seven-run total justtwice.

It should be noted that the Keydets’ oppo-nents during that stretch included some of thehottest clubs in the country, including NCAATournament participants Coastal Carolina,Virginia Tech and VCU, as well as a Liberty squadthat just missed out on an at-large berth into thetournament.

Getting Started:A key to VMI’s success in 2010 was the per-

formance of the team’s starting pitchers. In the team’s 33 wins, the starting staff had

18 wins, totaling a 3.60 ERA with opponents hit-ting just .262. In addition, the starters lasted anaverage of 5.1 innings, striking out 150 whilewalking just 56 in 172.1 innings.

The starters also took 17 of the 22 losses,posting a 9.49 ERA with opponents hitting .360in those games. In those 86.1 innings, the staffstruck out 73 and walked 46, lasting less thanfour innings per start.

Jason Farley led the way with a 4.59 ERA inhis 12 starts, during which he made six qualitystarts, consisting of at least six innings pitchedwith no more than three earned runs allowed.He also averaged nearly six innings per start.Adam Lopez followed with a 5.25 ERA in his 14starts, while Sam Roberts rounded out the staffwith a 5.59 ERA in his 14 starts.

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 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 (Virginia Tech) became the stan-dard. The rivalry with Washington & Lee was also kept up until the spring of 1904, when an“overenthusiastic response 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 hurledthe first of his two 1922 no-hitters thatday. In the game, shortstop Joseph M.Hatchett hit a majestic home run to cen-ter field on the first pitch thrown to a VMIbatter at the field. Later in the inning,Edward Ryder hit another long round-trip-per to the same spot, helping Page earnthe 8-0 victory, the first of six consecutivewins for Page as he wound up the seasonwith an 8-2 mark. Included in that totalwere a pair of two-hitters, a one-hitter,and another no-hitter, this time against VPIin the final home game of the season.Those outings accompanied a 16-strikeoutperformance in a 4-2 win against RoanokeCollege, which still didn’t match an 18-strikeout game he posted 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 someto 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 HOF in 1975, was a unanimous All-State selection in1950, while Williford was named All-State in four consecutive seasons, while he also won theCincinnati Medal and the Silver Star for gal-lantry in action during his distinguished mili-tary 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 ‘64. 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 secondclass year (1.04 ERA, 71 K, 69 IP, 5 CG) cer-tainly ranks a close second. Twice during the1964 campaign, Sensabaugh struck out atleast 20 batters, doing so against West Virginia on April 11 before sitting down 21 in an 11-inning contest against The Citadel later that year. However, his playing career was cut tragicallyshort due to an arm injury sustained while throwing the shot put, dashing any hopes of a pro-fessional 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 DonnyWhite 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 for that team,while White, a sure-handed shortstop with wheels, earned induction in 1975. White, also anaccomplished football halfback, led the team in hitting for three consecutive seasons, including ahigh of .391 as a third classman, while his 26 stolen bases in 1963 was the second-highest markin the nation that season. White’s relationship with the baseball program has now spanned intoits fifth decade, as he has served as player, assistant coach, head coach, and now as theInstitute’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 Donny 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), while his .328 batting average and 146 RBI also rank in thetop 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, who compiled 104 wins over six seasons. Gines’ final sea-son came in 1999, when the team posted a new school-record win total with a 22-27 campaignduring which they also went 13-16 in the League. However, an 0-2 finish in the SoCon tourna-ment 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 VMIprogram after serving for six seasons as an assistant coach at Auburn. While serving under leg-endary AU baseball coach Hal Baird, Slater recruited several future major leagues, including TimHudson, Chris Bootcheck and Gabe Gross. Despite only winning 25 games in his first two sea-sons at the helm, Slater laid the groundwork for some of the finest seasons in VMI baseball his-tory in the 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 wona pair of games in the SoContournament, defeating boththird-seeded Citadel and fifth-seeded Furman by 2-1 scoresbefore being ousted by fourth-seeded UNC Greensboro. Theloss was a bittersweet ending tothe 75-year relationshipbetween VMI and the SouthernConference, as the Institutejoined the Big South Conferencein the Fall of 2003.

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.

2010 saw a victory over #1 Virginia at Gray-Minor Stadium, the first win for any VMI athleticteam over a top-ranked opponent.The 2010 team blistered the ball at the plate, setting newschool records for batting average (.325), slugging percentage (.529), hits (629), runs (414), dou-bles (133), home runs (78), RBIs (390), at bats (1933) and total bases (1022). Freshman secondbaseman Cory Spangenberg earned three Freshman All-American honors, in addition to beingnamed the VaSID Rookie of the Year, while senior first baseman Jordan Ballard was drafted bythe Colorado Rockies. The program will return all but three of its main cogs in 2011, including31 of its 33 wins on the mount, looking to write the next chapter of its story.

General J. H. Binford Peay III,VMIClass of 1962, became the Institute's 14thSuperintendent on July 1, 2003.ThroughVision 2039, he has ushered in a period ofenthusiasm, growth, and change through-out all aspects of VMI. Never losing sightof VMI's primary "academic focus," whichhe emphasizes as "first among equals,"Vision 2039 sets forth a plan that willguide the Institute for decades to come, asit moves toward its 200th anniversary.

Enhancing the physical and cultural envi-ronment is a key component for thefuture. Nearly all academic buildings havebeen renovated in recent years. Maury-Brooke Hall, the new name for theScience Building, is set for renovationswhen funding becomes available. Whathad been called Maury-Brooke Hall, thebuilding adjacent to the Barracks withcadet support offices and activities, hasbeen renamed Shell Hall in honor of Lt.Gen. George R.E. Shell, a former superin-tendent. Also renovated were Crozet andKilbourne Halls.

New capability to host major conferencesof state and national importance came toVMI with the completion of Marshall Hall.The opening of Third Barracks and thecompletion of renovations of the olderportions of the Barracks complex providecadets with the most modern housingever for cadets, though the Spartan natureof the quarters has not changed.At thesame time the facilities on post havereceived a facelift, the details of the dailylife of cadets have been renovated.Adjustments have been made to the classand regimental systems, to the Honor

System, to cadet organizations, and to thedaily schedule.

"We must have the daily schedule right;leadership, cadet life, study time, manage-ment skills, and everything else at VMIrevolves around that," says General Peay.

Academically,VMI remains a clear leaderamong undergraduate colleges.Modernized and technologically enhancedacademic buildings and a full academicsupport staff complement splendidinstructors.The Institute receives annualnational and state recognition for its pro-grams.

Military and athletics combine with aca-demics to form the fabled three-legged

stool, and all play major roles in Vision2039. A significant increase in commis-sioning has resulted from General Peay’semphasis on the importance of militaryservice, though not necessarily a full mili-tary career.

Athletics is a major emphasis of Vision2039. Intercollegiate and club sports arethe beneficiaries of major improvements.Among new or renovated facilities are thefootball stadium, named in honor of P.Wesley Foster Jr. ’56; the baseball stadium,named in honor of Senator Elmon Gray’46 and G. Gilmer Minor III ’63; and thelocker room complex near the baseballstadium, named in honor of Bill Paulette’69. A number of drill fields thatwill double as athletic fields areunder construction, and newconfidence and obstacle courseshave just been completed in theNorth Post area, known as“Leadership Valley.”

General Peay considers hisSuperintendency as an opportuni-ty to give something back to VMIwhich has had such a significantinfluence on his life and that ofhis family. His father, J.H.B. Peay, Jr.was a graduate of the VMI Classof 1929, and Gen. Peay and hiswife, Pamela, have two sons, whoare also graduates: Jim, Class of'98, and Ryan, Class of '02. Bornin Richmond,Virginia on 10 May1940, General Peay, upon gradua-tion, was commissioned a SecondLieutenant of Field Artillery,embarking on a 35-year career inthe United States Army. He holdsa Bachelor of Science degree in

Civil Engineering from VMI, a Masters ofArts degree from George WashingtonUniversity, and he is also a graduate of theUnited States Army War College.As acadet, he was a quarterback on the foot-ball team, a member of the Honor Court,a Battalion Commander and awarded theInstitute's prestigious Cincinnati Medal atgraduation.

He assumed command of the 101stAirborne Division on 3 August 1989 andled the Division throughout OperationsDESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM inthe Persian Gulf. Promoted to LieutenantGeneral in 1991, he was assigned as theDeputy Chief of Staff for Operations andPlans, Department of the Army and SeniorArmy Member, United States MilitaryCommittee, United Nations and on 26March 1993, he was promoted to the rankof General and appointed the 24th ViceChief of Staff of the United States Army.

His last assignment was Commander-in-Chief, United States Central Command,MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, from 5August 1994 to 13 August 1997, withresponsibility for the region encompassingtwenty countries in Africa, the Middle East,Persian Gulf and South Asia. General Peayis currentlya Director with BAE Systems,Inc.

The most ambitious capital improvements to athleticfacilities in 20 years have been launched under the Vision2039 initiative of VMI Superintendent General J.H. BinfordPeay, and Athletic Director Donny White has been a guid-ing force in the process.

Over the past several years, both the football andbaseball programs have seen their facilities significantlyupgraded with the additions of P.Wesley Foster, Jr. '56Stadium and Gray-Minor Stadium.Those changes to Postwill continue, with further athletic facilities included in theNorth Post project, scheduled for completion within thenext year.

White is entering his 28th year in VMI Athletics, hav-ing spent 15 seasons as a coach and the past 12 years asAthletic Director. Upon his return in 1998,White immedi-ately went to work addressing the challenging issues facingthe VMI athletic department.At the same time, he has builtsupport for intercollegiate athletics among the VMI com-munity and its alumni. His effort has resulted in a changein conference affiliation, increased funding for operations,the development of women's athletics, and a better overallcompetitive environment for VMI sports.

The 2009-10 athletic season was yet another suc-cessful campaign under White’s leadership. The Keydetbaseball team defeated No. 1 Virginia, 12-3, at Gray-MinorStadium and garnered its highest-ever ranking in a nationalpoll at 26th.The women’s cross country team netted itshighest-ever finish at the Big South Championships, whilethe Institute also added another women’s offering in waterpolo. Finally, the department earned its unprecedentedfifth-straight Big South Sportsmanship Award.

Those successes fall in with several other notableaccomplishments achieved in recent years under White. In2008-09, the Keydet basketball program posted 24 wins,defeating Kentucky at Rupp Arena along the way, and camewithin just one victory of the program's fourth NCAAtournament appearance for the second time in three sea-sons. Also in recent years, the lacrosse and women’s soc-cer programs have experienced landmark postseason suc-cess, the men’s swimming & diving program won back-to-back NEC titles, and participants in both track & field andwrestling have competed in NCAA Championships, includ-ing runner Donnie Cowart, who earned All-American sta-tus in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 2008-09.

White compiled a distinguished VMI coaching careerin two sports spanning 15 years. He joined the footballstaff in 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 the

following season. He served as VMI co-defensive coordina-tor 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 who wereselected all-conference.

In the fall of 1981,White became VMI head baseballcoach and began to resurrect a program that had not wona Southern Conference game the three previous years. His1982 debut squad compiled six league wins and White wasnamed Southern Conference Co-Coach of the Year. Histeams won 85 games in six years and his 1987 squadreached the Southern Conference championship game.While serving as baseball coach,White also taught on thePhysical Education staff as an assistant professor.

White is a 1965 graduate of VMI with a B.S. degreein civil engineering.As a cadet, he was a DistinguishedMilitary Student, named Who's Who in American Collegesand Universities, and was awarded the VMI IntercollegiateAthletic Award for excellence.White co-captained the1964 VMI football team and was selected All-SouthernConference in baseball for three consecutive years as ashortstop while also leading the team in batting. He wasinducted into the VMI Sports Hall of Fame in 1975.
