A major experience whatever your major. There’s a place where desks, textbooks and college-ruled paper meet the bustle of city life. Where urbanites and academics breathe the same air. And artists rub elbows with intellectuals. It’s a world-renowned institution of higher learning located in the cultural hub of Detroit’s Midtown – with 13 schools and colleges offering more than 400 major subject areas. It may be close to theaters, museums and science centers but as Michigan’s only urban research university, it’s a million miles from any other learning experience.

ON THE COVER

The Wayne State baseball team plays in the heart of Midtown Detroit, and the 15 seniors leading

the 2012 squad are looking to achieve even more than in 2011, when WSU won a school-record

35 games and competed in the championship games of both the GLIAC Tournament and the NCAA

Midwest Regional (aerial photo by Vito Palmisano).

MISSION STATEMENT

Wayne State University believes that intercollegiate athletics are an important and wholesome

adjunct to the principal purposes of the University: (1) the advancement of knowledge through

research and investigation; and (2) the dissemination of knowledge through teaching. To that end,

participants in intercollegiate athletics must be, first and foremost, students whose fundamental

aim is to obtain a sound education.

A major mission of the University is to achieve an increasing level of excellence in the quality

of its programs and to enhance the visibility and recognition of the University as a whole. Students

who participate in intercollegiate athletics are directly involved in the implementation of this mission

of excellence, and by such participation, provide a unifying objective of community and University.

Wayne State University believes that a well-balanced program in intercollegiate sports is

important so long as it remains in proper focus as an ancillary of the real purposes of the University;

so long as it remains under academic control; so long as the players are bona fide students; and so

long as the coaches strive to instill qualities of honesty, sportsmanship and clean play.

2012 SEASON OUTLOOK

KYLE VESEY

PHIL SWANSON

Year three in the Ryan Kelley era saw the upward

trend of the Wayne State University baseball program

continue in 2011. Wayne State won a school-record 35

games and competed in both the GLIAC Tournament

and NCAA Midwest Regional championship games.

“In 2011 we had a nice run,” said Kelley, who has

a 92-67 record as the WSU skipper. “Now we want

to build off that experience and move forward into

2012.”

Experience and leadership will be critical to the

2012 version of the Wayne State Warriors. The squad

will blend 24 returning letterwinners with nine

newcomers who will look to make an immediate

impact.

Three of Wayne State’s 15 seniors will serve as

co-captains in 2012, including Phil Swanson who

returns to that role for the second year in a row.

Joining Swanson are classmates Billy Hurley and

J.J. Ciennik.

“They’ve done a fabulous job as captains so far,”

said Kelley. “They continue to work hard on and off

the field as representatives of our team.”

Hurley and classmate Josh Wedesky shared

WSU Most Improved Player honors last year and will

bolster a pitching staff which in 2011 posted the

lowest earned-run average (3.99) in 36 years and tied

the school record with 363 strikeouts.

Selected to the All-GLIAC and Daktronics All-

Region Second Teams, Hurley went 4-0 with eight

saves, the most since 2000, last season. His 1.30

ERA was the lowest since Bruce Finlayson’s program

record of 1.15 in 1969.

Wedesky tied the school record with 10 victories,

second-most in the conference, and had a 3.39 ERA

with 58 strikeouts. He won his first eight decisions

and picked up two more crucial wins in the NCAA

Midwest Regional.

“They both had big seasons and now they’re a year

older physically and mentally,” said Kelley. “We’re

looking for them to have a great year.”

Junior southpaw Alex Pierse won five games

and tied for eighth in the GLIAC with 49 strikeouts in

2011. Right-hander Kirk Stambaugh appeared in

11 games as a freshman including five starts, fanning

30 over 26.1 innings.

“Pierse and Stambaugh will both be catalysts in

the rotation, and we’re looking for big things out of

them,” said Kelley.

Other veterans on the pitching staff include senior

relievers Justin Sylvester, Corey Post and Matt

Mahalak, as well as sophomore Brock Bates.

Lefties Keaton LeBlanc and Christian Bilkovic will

also contribute in 2012 after redshirting last season.

Among those returning on the diamond are Alex

Trojan and Andrew Ciennik, who will join his

brother J.J. on the infield.

The top active Warrior in career batting average

(.316), Trojan has started 100 games at third base

over the last two years. He hit .323 with 33 RBI in

2011 and was particularly clutch in the postseason,

being named to the NCAA Midwest Regional All-

Tournament Team.

After starting 103 games at second base in the

last two seasons, Kelley projects Andrew Ciennik

to transition to shortstop for his senior season. J.J.

Ciennik, who played in 29 games last season after

missing most of 2010 battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma,

will compete for the second base job but has the

ability to play anywhere on the field.

Kyle Vesey, who has started 103 games in

center field over the previous two years, will lead

the outfielding corps after finishing 2011 with a

.315 average, a career-high 33 RBI and a team-best

13 stolen bases. Swanson, a .296 career hitter, will

battle for a starting role in left.

“We’d love to see the culmination in their senior

years and have them go out with a blast,” said Kelley.

Ryan Buter hit .320 and led the team with five

home runs last season, his first as a Warrior, starting

32 games as either the first baseman or designated

hitter.

Kelley is pleased with the progress of sophomore

Chris Gebara, who has served as the DH but will

compete for a corner outfield spot. Other returners

who will give Kelley options in the outfield include

senior Justin DeFrancis, junior Brent Weil, and

sophomore Chike Springer.

A notable change in the Warrior lineup this season

will be behind the plate following the graduation of

All-American and four-year starter Michael Wiseman.

Junior Brad Guenther and senior Josh Schafer are

among those who will hope to fill the void.

“I think catcher is one of the premium positions

on the diamond at any level of the game, and Mike

Wiseman was a tremendous player for us,” said

Kelley. “Ultimately it’s going to come down to who

can execute and get the job done.”

Guenther, who played left field last year when

he wasn’t giving Wiseman a reprieve, hit .278 and

finished second on the team with 40 runs scored. He

also played errorless defense.

Schafer played in 11 games including eight starts

in 2010, and redshirted last year. Fellow senior Eric

Ramaekers is back as the bullpen catcher.

Versatility is the name of the game when it comes

to the rest of the supporting cast on the 2012 roster.

Junior Cameron Walker started 30 games at seven

different positions last season and hit .264 with 19

RBI. He had a .973 fielding percentage over his final

look to plug in utility players Kasey Koster and

Mark Lepri, who both redshirted last season.

Amid the nine new Warriors are four freshmen

including Kyle Zimmerman, a highly touted recruit

out of Frankfort High School. Zimmerman was a four-

time All-State and two-time All-America selection,

and helped Frankfort reach the Final Four in the state

tournament every year. He is an accomplished pitcher

and hitter and is projected to contribute significantly

in both areas.

Outfielder Travis Rodery was Wyandotte

Roosevelt’s top hitter for three years and helped lead

the Bears to the district championship game in 2011.

Two Ann Arbor Pioneer teammates – utility player

Justin Sherman and right-handed pitcher Alex

Kinch – were part of the Pioneers’ run to the 2010

state title.

Infielder Kenny Davis, one of five transfers, was a

.300 hitter for two years at Grand Rapids Community

College after setting single-season records for batting

average (.464) and RBI (41) at Lee High School in

2009. Eric Cunningham started 30 games for

Notre Dame College last season, and can play both at

catcher and in the outfield.

Three pitchers with collegiate experience will join

an already-deep WSU staff. Ethan Vasiliauskas

pitched for two seasons at Jackson Community

College and was a First Team All-MCCAA selection in

2011 after posting a 7-2 record with a staff-best 2.35

ERA. His teammate at JCC, lefty Greg Spiess, went

5-2 with a team-high 53 strikeouts last year.

Chris Waha arrived at Wayne State to finish his

career after stops at Grand Rapids CC and New Mexico

Highlands. He appeared in 13 games for the Cowboys

last season and went 2-2 with 30 strikeouts.

For the second straight season the Warriors

will begin at the Armstrong Atlantic Savannah

Invitational, facing three opponents which they have never faced before, including Wayne State (Neb.)

College in the season-opener March 4. The last

Wayne State vs. Wayne State matchup in any sport

was a men's basketball contest at the Matthaei on

Nov. 25, 1998 (a 78-65 Tartars victory).

WSU will also face LeMoyne and Urbana before

heading farther south, “for some good games and

some nice weather,” said Kelley.

The Warriors will play two dates at Rollins College

and will spend the remainder of their Spring Break

at the RussMatt Invitational in Winter Haven, Fla.

On the schedule are Rockhurst, Minnesota-Duluth,

Indianapolis, Winona State and Mount Vernon

Nazarene.

Conference play will start with a four-game series

March 24-25 against Findlay, as Wayne State will

host 12 of its first 16 GLIAC contests. Other key home

weekends include April 6-7 vs. Northwood, April 21-

22 against Ashland and May 5-6 vs. Lake Erie to end

the regular season. Wayne State will play home-and-

home series with Hillsdale and Saginaw Valley State.

“Almost every game against every opponent is a

battle,” said Kelley.

The GLIAC Tournament is scheduled for May 10-12

at V.A. Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe, Ohio. Wayne

State has qualified for the postseason seven times in

the last eight years, and certainly the Warriors hope

that 2012 is the year they break through and advance

to Cary, N.C., for the NCAA Division II Championship

Tournament.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR ROB FOURNIER

the latest federally-mandated graduation rate report,

WSU student-athletes received an undergraduate degree

at a rate 26 percent higher than the comparable campus

population. These, and other academic achievements, are

recognized at the annual academic banquet, which he

started in 2001.

Fournier’s ability to generate private and corporate

support has dramatically altered the physical setting of the

athletic campus and the practice/competitive opportunities

for WSU

student-athletes. In his 11 years, he has secured

$9,510,476 in revenue excluding an additional 1.374

million in deferred gifts. That total has helped complete

the following facility initiatives: football locker room;

multipurpose indoor facility; baseball’s replica Fenway Park

baseball stadium which displays the former Tiger Stadium

scoreboard on its famous “Green Monster facade; men’s

and women’s basketball locker rooms; softball grandstand,

walkway and press box; a Boston Garden-like parquet floor

for basketball; Hall of Fame foyer; swimming video board,

pool deck and bleachers in the natatorium; football ticket

booths and stadium entrance; outdoor marquee; FieldTurf

and a new track; scoreboards for baseball and football with

a video display; trainer’s treatment area; new USTA tennis

courts; and a design charette for a new arena as well as

a softball locker room and coaches offices. The physical

transformation has been both noticeable and imaginative

and boasts a number of cosmetic infrastructure changes as

well.

In the past seven years alone, student-athletes have

committed nearly 35,000 community service hours with

such programs as St. Leo’s and St. Aloysius soup kitchens,

Motor City Makeover, Make-A-Wish, Relay for Life, canned

food drives, Boys and Girls Club, Toys-for-Tots, Skate for

the Cure, Genesis House, Focus Hope and Big Brothers/Big

Sisters.

In particular, the Think Detroit/PAL initiative pairs WSU

student-athletes and coaches with over 13,000 Detroit

school children in a variety of program and outreach

activities. All this is accomplished under the CHAMPS/Life

Skills Program, one of the first in the conference. Fournier

Since Rob Fournier was named Director of Athletics at

Wayne State University on 1 September 2000, a lot has

changed. In those 11 years, the department’s competitive

success, classroom achievements, outreach initiatives in

the community and the physical structure of the athletic

campus has seen a significant transformation. That

development has followed a plan that focuses on positive

opportunities for today’s student-athletes and supporters.

The results have been telling.

WSU’s 11 best finishes in the prestigious NACDA Cup

standings (which measures the overall competitive success

of athletic programs around the country) have all occurred

in the last 11 years including the two highest marks ever

in the past three years – 11th in 2009 and 21st in 2010.

Those respective finishes secured that WSU would finish in

the top four and top seven percent of all Division II athletic

programs in those respective seasons. Eight of sixteen (16)

athletic teams advanced to the NCAA tournament last

season. In those 11 years WSU has catapulted over 100

places in the NACDA rankings. Additionally, in those 11

years, 34 WSU coaches have been named Conference Coach

of the Year while three have gone on to be distinguished

as National Coach of the Year. For his efforts, Fournier was

honored by NACDA as the Athletics Director of the Year in

the Central Region in 2008.

Also in 2010-11, the athletic department celebrated the

naming of 30 All-Americans. Not surprisingly, the 163 All-

Americans that have been honored nationally in the past

five years are the most in any like period and coincidently

exceed any 10-year period in the 93 years of WSU athletics.

Last year was also a record-setting year academically

and in the community. The Fall (2010) term’s cumulative

grade-point average for all student-athletes was 3.08.

Thirteen (13) of WSU’s sixteen (16) athletic programs had

cumulative grade-point averages above 3.00.

In addition, in only nine months, WSU student-athletes

contributed an exemplary 7,947 community service hours

volunteering at a variety of Detroit initiatives. The rise in

both academic average and community outreach has been

dramatic, consistent and unprecedented. In addition, in

has also initiated an outreach effort for coaches and staff

to volunteer one day a month to a charitable cause in a

program labeled WIN -- Warriors in the Neighborhood.

Fournier served three years as a member of the NCAA

regional-ranking football committee whose responsibilities

include selecting the top teams in the region each week and

the teams that advance to the postseason. This year will be

his third on the NCAA softball regional ranking committee.

He currently serves as the chair of the GLIAC officiating

committee and is past President of the Conference

Executive Committee. In women’s hockey, he served as

the chair of the Structure Committee and a member of the

Executive Committee.

Prior to joining Wayne State, Fournier served as the

Senior Associate Commissioner and general counsel for

the Mid-American Conference. While serving as the acting

Commissioner of the Conference (1999), he moved the

league office from Toledo to Cleveland, wrote and secured

a long-term contract for the men’s basketball tournament

at the Gund Arena (now Quicken Loans Arena) and secured

the three largest corporate gifts in the history of the MAC

including First Energy as the tournament sponsor for the

men’s postseason basketball tournament.

He also wrote and negotiated the Motor City Bowl

football contract that is the MAC’s longest post-season Bowl

alignment. As the chief compliance officer for the league,

Fournier investigated and reported on over 350 infraction

cases that insured fairness in case resolution and corrective

action. At the request of institutions, he has appeared

before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and conducted

campus reviews of compliance effectiveness in financial

aid, rules education, eligibility and institutional control.

He has served as liaison to various NCAA committees for

which the conference held cabinet positions. The MAC

presidents recognized Fournier’s achievements when they

unanimously conferred a Certificate of Commendation and

a mark of esteem for his efforts in 1999.

A licensed attorney, he received his bachelor’s degree

summa cum laude and his master’s with honors from the

University of Akron. He was a national forensics champion

and qualified for the national finals in six events. Fournier

received his law degree from Akron in 1986 and was

admitted to the Ohio bar that same year where he is still

licensed to practice.

WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS SINCE 191810

HEAD COACH RYAN KELLEY

The 2008 squad set the WSU record for wins (34, since

broken by the 2011 team), while coming within one win

of advancing to the NCAA Division II Championship round.

Over his entire career at Wayne State, the baseball

program has received 104 Academic All-GLIAC selections,

54 All-GLIAC awards and 37 All-Region honors.

In 2008, Anthony Bass and Adam Kaminski became

the first WSU baseball All-Americans in 30 years, and

three years later Michael Wiseman followed suit as an All-

American. In addition, six players under Kelley’s watch

have signed professional contracts with Major League

Baseball organizations - Brett Shankin (Seattle Mariners,

2011), Ryan LaPensee (Arizona Diamondbacks, 2010),

Justin Mazur (Kansas City Royals, 2010), Bass (San Diego

Padres, 2008), Steve Squires (Chicago White Sox, 2005),

and Randy Surratt (Chicago White Sox, 2004).

Kelley’s squad is very involved in the local community.

Since the 2008-09 school year the baseball team has

completed approximately 3,900 community service hours

through a number of outreach programs in Metro Detroit.

In 2009, Caleb Dalman received the distinguished WSU

Service Leader Award. Kelley also serves on the Board of

Directors with the Swing 4 Fences Foundation.

Ryan Kelley, who served six seasons on the Warriors’

staff including three as WSU’s pitching coach prior to

being named head coach in September 2008, enters his

fourth year at the helm in the 2012 season. Kelley is the

ninth head coach in the 72-year history of the Wayne State

University baseball program.

In 2011, the Warriors set a school record for wins (35)

and advanced to the championship game of the NCAA

Midwest Regional for the second time in program history.

Kelley was chosen as the 2010 GLIAC Coach of the Year

as his squad won 32 games and earned the GLIAC regular-

season and tournament championships. In 2009, Kelley

guided the team to 25 victories, as he broke his predecessor

Jay Alexander’s record for most wins by a first-year coach in

program history.

Since Kelley was named head coach, Wayne State has

established eight new offensive team records and produced

five top-10 pitching records. His success at WSU earned him

an invitation to coach at the Team USA Tournament of Stars

last June in Cary, N.C., where he assisted in evaluating and

selecting members of the 18U National Team which went

on to win Gold at the Pan American Games.

“I look forward to Ryan building on our successes in

baseball,” noted WSU Director of Athletics Rob Fournier

following Kelley’s promotion. “The committee considered

some outstanding candidates and there is no doubt

that our program has risen in stature. In the end, Ryan’s

familiarity with our system, his strong work habits and

active role in building our program the last six years, was

a significant factor. I look forward to working with him to

move our baseball team into an elite echelon.”

After earning a bachelor of science degree from the

University of Michigan, Kelley graduated with his master’s

from Wayne State University in sports administration.

In the summer of 2004, Kelley became a community

director within the WSU Office of Housing & Residential

Life, a position he held until taking over as the athletic

department’s academic coordinator from February 2006

until his promotion to head baseball coach.

Originally from Northville, Kelley was a four-year pitcher

at Michigan (1996-1999). He would help the Wolverines

win the 1997 Big Ten Championship and the 1999 Big Ten

Tournament Championship. Following the 1997 season,

Kelley was a pitcher in the Alaskan Central Collegiate

baseball league for the Mat-Su Minors.

Kelley played high school ball at Dearborn Divine

Child where he earned all-state and honorable mention

preseason All-America honors.

He also completed a graduate assistant position with

the Detroit Lions and worked in WSU’s sports information

office. In addition, he completed a graduate assistantship

with Stanford University’s athletic department.

“I am very honored and humbled to be named the

head baseball coach at Wayne State University,” said Kelley.

“Moving into the next chapter of WSU baseball we are eager

for continued success. With the current players in place,

our fantastic new dugouts, and the resources available

to our student-athletes we look forward to an exciting

future. We will continue to prepare to win both on and off

the field. It is my goal that our Warrior baseball student-

athletes will continue to serve as leaders in our community

efforts, achieve academic prosperity, learn how to strive

for and accomplish our goals on the diamond, while also

preparing for a successful life after graduation. Ultimately,

our student-athletes will come to realize the importance of

working together as a team in a family environment and be

proud to wear the name of Wayne State University across

the front of our jerseys.”

In his six seasons as an assistant coach at WSU, the

Warriors compiled a 161-148 record (.521), won two

GLIAC regular-season titles, made four GLIAC tournament

appearances, and advanced to the NCAA Regional twice.

and athletic achievements.

Hughes married the former Janessa DeMuth in July, and the couple resides in Dearborn Heights

with their two labs, Mocha and Elway.

CHRIS OGDENAssistant Coach

Chris Ogden is in his eighth season as an assistant

baseball coach at Wayne State in 2012. Ogden, who served

as a volunteer assistant coach under Jay Alexander form

2004-08, works primarily with the Warrior pitching staff.

Under his watch in 2011, Wayne State pitchers posted

the lowest team earned-run average (3.99) in 36 years and

tied the school record with 363 strikeouts. Among those

on the staff were juniors Josh Wedesky, who matched the

program record with 10 victories, and Billy Hurley, who totaled eight saves and allowed just one

earned run during the regular season.

In 2010 the Warrior pitchers set new top-10 marks in the team record book for innings pitched

(396.0; second), strikeouts (324; fifth), saves (8; tied for sixth), strikeout/walk ratio (1.79; ninth)

and complete games (17; tied for 10th). Among those he mentored was Justin Mazur, the 2010

GLIAC Pitcher of the Year.

Ogden is a 1998 graduate of Siena Heights University in Adrian, Mich. He was a four-year

letterman for the Saints at third base and on the mound. In 1997, Ogden broke the record for

home runs (13) and tied the record for doubles (19) in a season. Ogden earned First Team All-

WHAC honors his junior year and was named to the Honorable Mention team as a senior in 1998.

While at SHU, he also went on a three-week summer tour with Team America through Germany

and Holland in 1996 and 1997.

He has conducted private instruction for over 10 years through his company, MVP Baseball,

focusing on all facets of the game. Ogden also constructs portable indoor mounds and other

baseball equipment.

He graduated high school from Detroit Country Day in 1993 where he was selected all-state as

a senior. He has a four-year-old daughter, Sara Elaine, and resides in Auburn Hills.

ART DUDALAssistant Coach

Art Dudal enters his fourth season in 2011-12 as a coach

and recruiting assistant for the Wayne State University

baseball program. His coaching career began in 1986 with

the Glendale Mountainbacks in the Arizona Collegiate

Cactus League. In 1992, he returned to his alma mater,

Macomb Community College, and served as an assistant

coach working with a staff he once played for.

In 2002, he assisted former WSU head coach Jay

Alexander with the recruitment of local players and served

as a baseball camp instructor.

After a year as an assistant coach at Rochester College, Dudal was hired as the head coach and

hitting instructor in 2004, guiding the squad to a World Series appearance in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Dudal returned to MCC in 2005 and spent two seasons as the team’s pitching coach. During that

time, Dudal saw the Monarchs achieve their highest divisional finish (third) in more than a decade

and make consecutive NJCAA regional appearances.

Since 1989, Dudal has managed many local federation programs and coached several players

who went on to forge successful collegiate and professional careers. Dudal was a two-year

letterwinner at Macomb (1987-89), posting a 9-4 career pitching record and helping the team

win back-to-back division titles.

offensive and defensive aspects of the program. More

specifically, he was in charge of the catching instruction

and implementing a strength and conditioning program.

In his three years at Macomb, the team would post its highest divisional finish (third) in more

than 10 years. This would earn the Monarchs consecutive NJCAA regional appearances.

2011 SEASON IMAGES

Michael Wiseman capped off a stellar career with three All-America

accolades in 2011. He was also named Division II Defensive Player of the

Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association. Wiseman set four

career records at Wayne State, was a two-year team co-captain and served

as president of the student-athlete advisory committee.

Wayne State student-athletes contributed over 8,200 hours of community service to the metropolitan

Detroit area. Approximately 1,500 of those hours came from the baseball team, which works closely

with organizations such as the LINK Mentoring Program and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Last October

the Warriors teamed up with Making Strides Against Breast Cancer to participate in the organization’s

five-mile walk fundraiser on Belle Isle.

Former Wayne State infielder Frank Jeney returned to the WSU

baseball field to throw out the ceremonial first pitch on April 30

as Wayne State hosted Grand Valley State. A four-time baseball

letterwinner (2002-05) and the 2005 GLIAC Player of the Year, Jeney

was inducted into the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame two months prior.

The Warriors gathered in left field

to celebrate a thrilling victory in

the opening round of the GLIAC

Tournament in Chillicothe, Ohio. Brad

Guenther’s walk-off three-run double

in the bottom of the 12th inning capped

off a wild 7-6 win over Ashland. The

four-hour game including a 45-minute

lightning delay in the 12th inning.

Wiseman embraced fellow senior Matt Rustulka after

the right-hander turned in the best performance of

his WSU career, allowing just five hits and striking

out seven in the Warriors’ 4-2 triumph over Northern

Kentucky in the NCAA Midwest Regional. The

win was the school-record 35th of the year for the

Warriors and set up a rematch with GVSU in the

championship game the following day.

Brett Shankin signed a minor league contract with the Seattle Mariners in June after the organization drafted him in the 28th

round. An All-GLIAC and All-Region selection in 2011, Shankin went 7-3 with a 2.79 ERA and a 4.67 strikeout/walk ratio in his

final collegiate season. Representing Seattle’s scouting department were Brian Williams (left) and WSU Athletic Hall of Famer Ken

Madeja, the central supervisor for Mariners scouting and special assistant to Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik.

WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS SINCE 191840

TEAM HISTORY

The 2012 season will mark the 72nd year of baseball at

Wayne State University. In that time, WSU has won 1,078

games, claimed six conference championships as well as three

regular-season titles, and made four appearances in the NCAA

Regional tournament.

The baseball program began in 1941 under head coach

Joseph E. Truske, who led the Tartars to a 5-7 record in his first

season.

Wayne State Athletic Hall of Famer William “Rip” Collins

became WSU’s first baseball All-American in 1946. Recording

a .325 batting average as the squad’s second leading hitter and

notching a lofty .625 slugging percentage, Collins also led the

team in runs with 13, tied for the team lead in hits with 12,

and registered a .956 fielding percentage as an outstanding

catcher.

After a four-year hiatus during which time Leo Maas took

over, Truske returned to the team in 1946. The next season,

Wayne State posted its first winning record (8-3), finishing in

second place in its only year in the Mid-American Conference.

The Tartars were guided through the latter half of the

1940s by standout players such as Ronald Teasley (1945, 1947),

who holds the school’s single-season (.500) and career (.415)

batting average records; John Wingo (1949-51), who totaled

87 strikeouts in three years and is the current school record-

holder for fewest hits allowed per nine innings (5.74); and

George Shuk (1946-49), who batted .375 over his four-year

career including a .462 mark in 1947.

Wayne State struggled through most of the following

decade, but in 1959, one year after the team won a then-

school record 12 games, WSU posted a perfect 6-0 record in

the Presidents Athletic Conference, winning the league title in

Wayne State’s first season in the PAC and Truske’s final season

at the helm.

Leon Lande took over in 1960 and won 76 games over

nine seasons. His teams featured some of the best pitchers

in program history, including Bruce Finlayson (1966-69) and

Hall of Famers Bob Kloss (1967-70) and Gordon Reck (1968-

71). The trio possesses three of the top four career earned-run

averages ever recorded at Wayne State, the lowest belonging

to Kloss (2.27).

Reck, a lefty who walked on to the team in the late 1960s,

set or tied 12 Wayne State pitching records during his career.

He remains WSU’s all-time leader in career strikeouts per nine

innings (11.22), while his records for innings pitched (224.2)

and strikeouts (280) remained intact for over two decades. In

1971, Reck went 9-2 with a 1.52 ERA, and threw a no-hitter in

a 2-1 victory over Buffalo as well as a one-hitter in a 1-0 win

over Central Michigan.

Reck’s career ended midway through the tenure of head

coach Bob Samaras, who led the Tartars to 82 wins over five

seasons. His .654 winning percentage (17-9) in 1969 is the

third-highest in school history.

Christ Petrouleas took over in 1974, and during his six-year

tenure several All-Americans emerged, the first of which was

Paul Janas, another Hall of Famer who garnered All-America

status in 1974 – the first baseball player to do so since Collins –

after batting .397 with a .504 slugging percentage and setting

or matching five WSU single-season records. He also received

Academic All-America honors in 1974 and 1975, the first

Wayne State student-athlete in any sport to do so.

Greg Brecht, another WSU Hall of Fame inductee, became

an All-American in 1975 after hitting .342 with four home runs

and 22 RBI. He hit seven homers in 1976, Wayne State’s first

season in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference,

while driving in 32 runs and walking 33 times on his way to

being named to the first All-GLIAC team.

Three key components to the teams of the late 1970s

were all inducted into the WSU Hall of Fame together in 1994.

Dave Zelmanski (1975-78) hit .352 for his career and led the

nation with nine triples in 1978, setting a school record. Kevin

Ponticelli (1976-79) led the 1978 Tartars with a .411 batting

average with a then-school record 34 RBI. Angelo Gust, who

would take over as head coach in 1980, had been an assistant

under Petrouleas since 1974.

The 1978 team went 27-16 (.628) and set school records in

batting average (.343) and triples (31) which still stand today.

It wasn’t until the 1980s, however, that Wayne State would

reach championship status.

Gust led the Tartars to three straight 20-win seasons,

including the 29-16 year of 1982. Wayne State won GLIAC

Championships all three years, and Gust was named the

conference Coach of the Year each season.

As a head coach Gust compiled a 174-151-2 overall record

in nine seasons, the highest winning percentage (.535) among

the nine men who have directed the program. The Tartars had

only two losing seasons under Gust, and four times cracked the

20-victory barrier. During Gust’s tenure eight of his nine teams

had winning records in GLIAC play.

Two-time All-GLIAC First Team selection Mark Limback

(1979-82) was also named the league’s Player of the Year in

1982 after batting .405 with 11 home runs, a .741 slugging

percentage and a school-record 56 runs batted in. Fellow Hall

of Famer David Croskey (1979-82) supplemented his career

.304 batting average with outstanding baserunning ability,

swiping 112 bases including a single-season record 43 in 1982.

The Tartars went 27-21 in 1987, but it would be the last

time WSU finished with a winning record for 10 years.

Rodger George’s 14-year career as head coach began in

1989. He won 272 games in his tenure, was named GLIAC

Coach of the Year in 1998 after leading the Tartars to their

fourth GLIAC title, and won a then school-record 32 games the

following season in 1999.

Several standout players left their mark on the program

under George’s watch, including Hall of Fame catcher John

Miele (1996-99), a two-time First Team All-GLIAC selection.

He hit .424 in 1999, fifth-best in school history, with 54 RBI

and a WSU-record 21 doubles on his way to being named the

conference Player of the Year.

Sadly, George passed away in October 2002 after a

10-month battle against brain cancer. Jay Alexander, a former

Tartar and George’s assistant coach since 1998, was named the

program’s eighth head coach in December.

Alexander led WSU to its first NCAA Regional appearances

in 2005 and 2008, winning 32 and 34 games in those seasons,

respectively. The Warriors also achieved their first national

ranking in program history in 2005.

Frank Jeney (2002-05) was the 2005 GLIAC Player of the

Year, and Kyle Hill (2004-07) matched Hall of Famer Michael

Newsted’s (1999-2001) career record of 24 victories.

In addition, two pitchers were selected in the Major League

Baseball draft under Alexander’s watch. Steve Squires was

taken in the 49th round of the 2005 draft by the Chicago

White Sox, and Anthony Bass was selected in the fifth round

– highest ever for a WSU player – in 2008.

Ryan Kelley, who took over following Alexander’s departure

for Eastern Michigan, led WSU to 25 wins in 2009, the most

under any first-year coach in program history. The following

year, WSU went 32-20 and won the GLIAC regular-season and

tournament championships. The Warriors set a school record

with 35 wins in 2011 and advanced to the NCAA Midwest

Regional championship game for the second time since 2008.

Ryan LaPensee (2007-10) surpassed Jeney as WSU’s all-

time hits leader in 2010, and Michael Wiseman (2008-11),

Wayne State’s career RBI king, was a three-time All-American

in 2011 and the Division II Defensive Player of the Year.

William Collins, Wayne State’s first baseball All-American,

was inducted into the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1984.

Former shortstop Frank Jeney was the 2005 GLIAC Player

of the Year and WSU’s all-time hits leader until 2010. He

was enshrined in the Hall of Fame last year.

WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS SINCE 191856

WARRIORS IN THE PROS

Former WSU outfielder Ryan LaPensee signed a free agent contract with the Arizona

Diamondbacks in November 2010, becoming the first position player from WSU to sign with an

MLB team since Jason Copeland signed with the Detroit Tigers organization in 1998.

LaPensee spent his first professional season with the Visalia Rawhide of the California League.

He played in 74 games and batted .244 with 58 hits, 24 RBI and 19 runs scored.

He ended his collegiate career as Wayne State’s all-time leader in hits (279), runs scored

(195), doubles (50), total bases (386), games played (200), and at bats (696). LaPensee posted

a .401 career batting average, second only to Hall of Famer Ronald Teasley (1945, 1947) who

had a .415 average. LaPensee is also the only player in Wayne State history to hit .400 or better

three times in a career.

Former WSU right-hander Anthony Bass, a non-roster

invitee to the 2011 San Diego Padres spring training camp,

made his major league debut June 13 at Coors Field in Colorado.

He picked up the win after five strong innings, allowing just

one run on five hits as the Padres defeated the Rockies, 3-1.

After being sent back to the San Antonio Missions (AA), he

was recalled June 26 and remained with San Diego for the rest

of the season. Bass made 24 relief appearances before his next

start Sept. 21, once again at Colorado.

In 27 outings with San Diego, Bass went 2-0 with a 1.68 ERA

and 24 strikeouts over 48.1 innings.

The 2011 season was Bass’ fourth as a professional. He

spent most of the first half with San Antonio and was named to

the Texas League South Division All-Star Team.

He has a 29-17 career minor league record with a 2.86 ERA

and 307 strikeouts over 95 games (68 starts).

A fixture on the WSU pitching staff from 2006-08, Bass was

an All-American in 2008 and the GLIAC Pitcher of the Year.

Selected by the Padres in the fifth round (165th overall) in

2008, Bass was the first Warrior drafted since Steve Squires in

2005, and the highest-drafted player in program history.

Bass appeared in 25 games for the Eugene Emeralds in 2008

and went 2-2 with a 2.10 ERA. He accumulated seven saves,

tied for fifth-most in the Northwest League, walked only 14

batters and totaled 41 strikeouts in 34.1 innings.

The 2009 opening day starter for the Fort Wayne TinCaps,

Bass went 9-3 with a 2.19 ERA and 69 strikeouts in 18 starts,

and was selected as a Midseason All-Star before being called

up to the Lake Elsinore Storm.

He finished the 2009 season with the Storm and had a 3-0

record with a 3.51 ERA in 10 appearances.

Bass led all minor leaguers in the Padres system with a

2.55 overall ERA in 2009. He also finished with the third-most

victories (12) and the fifth-lowest WHIP (1.22).

Bass went 8-7 for Lake Elsinore in 2010. He totaled 109

strikeouts, led the California League with a 3.13 ERA and was

both a Midseason and Postseason All-Star.

He reported to the Pulaski Mariners of the Appalachian League and debuted July 22 against

Bluefield. Shankin made 16 relief appearances for Pulaski in his rookie campaign.

An All-GLIAC and All-Region selection in 2011, Shankin went 7-3 with a 2.79 ERA in 15

appearances in his final collegiate season. He led the WSU staff with 70 strikeouts, posted the

third-best strikeout/walk ratio (4.67) in school history, and held opposing hitters to a .215 average.

WSU ACADEMICS

The Wayne State Athletic Department has developed a comprehensive approach to academic services

for its student-athletes. The department’s goal is to assist student-athletes in pursuit of their designated

course of studies and ultimately to achieve graduation. This objective is facilitated by appropriate academic

advising, major selection, tutorial assistance and other life skill development and academic support

services.

A major goal of athletic academic services is to significantly increase the department’s graduation

rate over the next five years and to continually emphasize the success of WSU’s student-athletes in the

community. Part of the initiative already has been realized by the department’s annual Spring Academic

Recognition Banquet that honors student-athletes with a 3.5 or better term grade point average. The

name of each graduate is permanently displayed on a brick as part of the department’s “Wall of Fame.”

The recognition is prominently displayed in the main concourse as you enter the Matthaei Athletic Facility

Complex.

Over 200 student-athletes, faculty and staff attended the

annual Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet held in April.

Academic Monitoring

The Department of Athletics participates in the university-wide early alert system in which instructors

provide notification to students and their advisors about unsatisfactory progress after the fourth week

of classes. In conjunction with the coaching staff, requests for information about class attendance and

performance are sent to each instructor. The academic coordinator tracks individual progress, schedules

meetings with students as appropriate, and personally contacts instructors as necessary.

Counseling/Mentoring

The coordinator meets with student-athletes individually and arranges for group meetings/workshops

with other support service personnel regarding academic, athletic, career, and/or personal issues (for

example, group sessions covering such topics as test-taking skills, time management, learning styles, etc.)

The Department of Athletics has collaborative relationships with many other critical units on campus to

help provide appropriate support services.

Advising/Registration

In conjunction with academic advisors in the University Advising Center, the coordinator assists

student-athletes with term course planning and registration, including holding special student-athlete

Orientation sessions to introduce them to NCAA and GLIAC eligibility requirements and departmental

academic policies as well as to Wayne State University’s academic programs, procedures and regulations,

and services. The office also works closely with academic advisors in all the university’s schools and colleges

to ensure appropriate semester course selection and timely progress towards degree. The office serves as

a clearinghouse for information about campus resources and student support services, university forms,

enrollment deadlines and institutional academic policies and procedures.

Structured Study

In an effort to help ensure the academic success and the development of consistent study patterns of

student-athletes, the coordinator organizes supervised study sessions for each team.

Tutorial Services, Writing Center, Mathematics Laboratory

The university provides free peer tutoring in most subject areas either on a drop-in or by-appointment

basis. In the event that the Academic Success Center cannot provide tutoring for a specific class, the

Department of Athletics has set aside funds to hire individual tutors. The coordinator works with academic

department chairs to identify qualified tutors and is always available to arrange special individual or group

sessions in a variety of areas. As in all other services, the office works in a proactive manner to provide

assistance before academic problems arise.

SPORTS MED./STRENGTH & COND./FACILITIES

The Wayne State sports medicine department is led by head athletic trainer Michael Chan and assistants

Steve Domzalski, Natalie Herter, Katie Minahan and Josh Priehs. All five are members of the National Athletic

Trainers’ Association and provide medical care to the Warrior student-athletes.

The sports medicine staff is responsible for all aspects of the sports medicine program including injury

prevention and management, first aid, injury rehabilitation, and drug and alcohol education. Athletic trainers

are present at Warrior home and away events to ensure for the health and safety of all student-athletes.

During the summer of 2009, the Matthaei athletic training room underwent a major renovation. WSU

now has over 1,000 square feet of updated sports medicine space for increased treatment/rehabiliation and

storage areas. Other special features include: a new hydrotherapy area with three therapeutic whirlpools, a

designated team physician examination office, and additional office space for the sports medicine staff. In

addition to a new air-conditioning system for student-athlete comfort, a new aesthetically pleasing entry

corridor was created to allow for easier access to the athletic training room.

The Warrior Strength and Conditioning program strives to maximize every Wayne State student-athlete’s

potential through the use of safe, effective, and time efficient training protocols with an emphasis on intensity

and execution, while minimizing the risk of injury.

The weight room, located on the lower level of the Matthaei Athletic Building, provides Warrior student-

athletes with over 3,000 sq. feet of work space to accomodate a vast array of equipment which includes over

13,000 pounds of weights, as well as a cardio area. At the completion of their workouts, student-athletes

receive Gatorade and nutrition shakes to aid in their recovery.

Head strength coach Ruben Mendoza, along with assistants Bryce Karasiak and Matt Paja, directly oversee

all aspects of the student-athletes’ workout regimens. A wide variety of training modalities are employed from

power lifting and Olympic lifting, to machine based, dumbbell and kettle bell, and strong-man type lifting.

The future of Wayne State athletics includes a multi-purpose student-athlete complex which will house

a state-of-the-art 10,000 sq. ft. training facility and athletic offices.

The Wayne State University baseball field is located on the northeast corner of the WSU athletic campus,

adjacent to the tennis courts and the newly-constructed Multipurpose Indoor Facility along the John C.

Lodge Service Drive.

In the summer of 2003, the baseball facility underwent a substantial renovation to create a replica

of Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, around the perimeter of the outfield. New bullpens were

installed in right field, as was a new scoreboard attached to the marquee which overlooks the M-10

Freeway.

Wayne State completed construction on two new in-ground, Major League-style dugouts in October

2008. Funding for the project was achieved through alumni and corporate support, as well as through a

sizable grant from the Baseball Tomorrow Fund, a joint initiative between Major League Baseball and the

Major League Baseball Players Association.

The most recent addition to the Wayne State baseball field is the Tiger Stadium left-field scoreboard,

which is currently mounted on WSU’s Green Monster wall in left. The scoreboard was one of over 200 pieces

of Tiger Stadium salvaged by the City of Detroit and the Detroit Historical Society for preservation purposes

in October 2007 before the stadium was razed in 2009. Tiger Stadium first opened on April 20, 1912, at the

corner of Michigan Avenue and Trumbull Boulevard, less than two miles south of the WSU athletic campus.

Last fall, the new Multipurpose Indoor Facility was opened on the Wayne State athletic campus. The

facility has 35,000 square feet of space with a height of 35 feet. Within this area is a specially built mondo

surface with four tennis courts and a 60-yard sprint track. All 15 teams can utilize the facility for practices

and conditioning, including the baseball team as student-athletes have additional space to work on

hitting, pitching, long-tossing and other team activities in a climate-controlled environment.

The facility also consists of six new offices for Warrior coaches, men’s and women’s locker rooms, and

a training room. The baseball team has its own locker room within the facility located near its home

first-base dugout, which includes 37 lockers as well as a flat-screen television donated by the 2005 GLIAC

championship team.
