All Times Eastern Standard Time
After leading his team to a school-record 42 victories in 2010, Jim Toman enters his fourth year
at Liberty with the best mark of any Flames head coach over his first three years.
Since taking over the program for the 2008 season, Liberty has won 35 or more games twice
and last season posted only the second 40-win campaign in the 37-year history of the program. The
Flames notched a 110-66-1 record during his first three seasons on Liberty Mountain.
On May 2, 2010, Toman recorded his 100th career victory, as the Flames defeated GardnerWebb, 10-7, at Worthington Stadium. The sixth coach in program history, Toman became the fastest Liberty baseball head coach to amass the milestone, passing first coach Al Worthington, by
reaching his 100th win in 160 games, six fewer than Worthington.
The impressive strides made by the program have not gone unnoticed. This past November,
Rivals.com cited Liberty as one being one of college baseball’s top 10 rising programs.
Last season, the Flames had their best season under Toman, posting a school record for wins
in a single season with a 42-19 record. The team’s ledger was boosted by a 21-8 road mark, the
nation’s 10th-best road record in 2010.
In addition, Liberty recorded a 19-7 mark in Big South play, eclipsing its record of the previous
season for most victories by the school since joining the conference in 1992. The Flames finished
second in the league’s regular season and were conference runner-up at the Big South Baseball
Championship.
Pitcher Shawn Teufel became the fourth player from one of Toman’s Liberty squads to be taken
in the MLB Draft. The two-time Big South all-conference first team pitcher and National Pitcher of
the Year Watch list member capped a strong senior campaign by being selected by the Detroit
Tigers.
In 2009, Liberty recorded a 33-21 overall record, while posting a 17-9 mark in Big South Conference play. Liberty set a new fielding standard in 2009, committing the fewest errors, 53, and
finishing the year with the highest fielding percentage, .974, in team history. From that infield, third
baseman Tyler Bream was named a Freshman All-American by the Collegiate Baseball News.
Pitcher Andrew Wilson became the third player during Toman’s time at Liberty to be taken in
the MLB draft (Atlanta Braves).
In 2008, the Flames fashioned a 13-3-1 record in the month of May to finish Toman’s first season at Liberty with a 35-26-1 mark. The record made Toman the winningest first-year coach in the
program’s history. He guided the Flames to their third straight Big South Championship title game
appearance, claiming the conference’s runner-up position in 2008. Liberty’s May record was the
best ever by a Flames team.
In addition, the Liberty pitching staff set a new season strikeout record, fanning 508 opposing batters during the year. The Flames’ strikeout total led the Big South Conference and their 8.2
strikeouts per nine innings ranked 22nd nationally at season’s end. Two pitchers from the staff,
Ryan Page and David Stokes, went on to be drafted and play in the professional ranks. Page was
taken in the 20th round of the MLB Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays, while Stokes was picked in the
28th round by the Detroit Tigers.
Liberty finished its season with a 14-7 record in conference play. The mark allowed the Flames
to claim the No. 2 seed for the Big South Championship, their highest seed for the Big South Baseball Championship since a No. 1 seed in 2000. Liberty would go on to post four consecutive doubledigit victories during six games in the Big South Championship to set a championship record with
55 runs scored.
Toman was named the sixth head coach in the history of the Liberty Baseball program in June
2007, after 11 seasons as the senior member of Ray Tanner’s coaching staff at South Carolina.
Toman worked a total of 18 years alongside Tanner, dating back to the 1990 season at N.C. State.
During his time at South Carolina, Toman served as recruiting coordinator and coached the
catchers. Known as one of the top recruiters in college baseball, the 22-year college coaching
veteran was named the 2002 Baseball America/American Baseball Coaches Association Assistant
Coach of the Year. Before joining the Gamecock staff in 1996, Toman served under Tanner for
seven years at N.C. State.
Toman has recruited 15 top 25 classes, including all 11 of his seasons at South Carolina. During his final years with the Gamecocks, he recruited many of the players who were members of the
2010 South Carolina National Championship team. From 2003-2006, three of the four Gamecock
recruiting classes were ranked first in the nation by Collegiate Baseball.
During his time on the staff in Columbia, S.C., Toman and the Gamecocks made nine NCAA
Regional appearances, including eight straight between 2000 and 2007, and three consecutive
trips to the College World Series (2002-04). Add in his seven seasons at N.C. State, and Toman
has helped lead 14 teams to NCAA Regional appearances.
Toman was a four-year letterwinner at N.C. State from 1981-84, and served as team captain of
the Wolfpack his junior and senior seasons.

The Coaches
Liberty Head Coach Jim Toman is in his fourth year at the helm of the Flames. During
his time at Liberty, he has guided the Flames to a 125-80-1 record. He led the Flames to
the best mark of any Liberty head coach over his first three seasons on Liberty Mountain.
Last season, the Flames had their best year under Toman, posting a school record
for wins in a single season with a 42-19 record. The team’s ledger was boosted by a 21-8
road mark, the nation’s 10th best road record in 2010.
In addition, Liberty recorded a 19-7 mark in Big South play, eclipsing its record of the
previous season for most victories by the school since joining the conference in 1992. The
Flames finished second in the league’s regular season and were conference runner-up at
the Big South Baseball Championship.
In 2009, Liberty posted the most victories in Big South Conference play with a 17-9
mark, since joining the conference in 1992. The Flames recorded an overall record of
33-21 in Toman’s second year.
A 24-year member of the college coaching ranks, he served 18 years as a member
of Ray Tanner’s staffs at South Carolina and N.C. State. Toman was named the 2002
Baseball America/American Baseball Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year
and recruited 16 top 25 classes, including all 11 of his seasons at South Carolina.
Head Coach Joe “Spanky” McFarland is in his 14th season as the skipper of the
James Madison Dukes. In 13 seasons, he has guided the Dukes to seven NCAA Regional appearances. McFarland led Northern Illinois for seven years prior to coming to
James Madison, resurrecting a dormant Hukies program. He enters Wednesday’s contest
looking for career win 600, having compiled a career record of 599-563-3 during his 22year head coaching career.
Last season, McFarland became the second coach to reach 400 wins at JMU when
the Dukes won at East Carolina 11-5 on May 18. James Madison won the regular season CAA championship for the third time under McFarland 2010, with an 18-6 CAA record,
while winning all eight league series. The Dukes posted a 30-23 overall record. McFarland was honored as the CAA Co-Coach of the Year and the Louisville Slugger Conference Coach of the Year.
Known for developing pitchers, McFarland has seen over 60 hurlers under his guidance sign contracts to play professionally.
All-Time Series Against James Madison
Wednesday’s meeting will be the 63rd meeting between the Dukes and the Flames on
the baseball diamond. James Madison, the most frequently played non-conference opponent in the Liberty baseball program’s history, holds a 35-27 edge in the all-time series
since 1976.
Last year, the two teams split a pair of midweek games. The Dukes took the first
meeting at Veterans Memorial Park in Harrisonburg, Va., on March 16, 13-2. The victory
extended a eight-game win streak by James Madison in the series, dating back to 2007.
Liberty ended the streak later in the season, with a 12-7 victory on April 21. Flames outfielder Doug Bream had four hits, four RBIs and hit a home run in the Liberty win. Third
baseman Tyler Bream added three hits for the Flames.

Get Your Running Shoes On
What a difference a year makes. So far this season, Liberty has taken advantage of
its team speed, doubling its stolen base total from a year ago. The Flames have stolen
64 bases in 76 attempts this season, compared to 2010, when the Flames swiped only
22 bases in 35 tries through 29 games. Liberty’s 64 stolen bases leads the Big South
Conference in the category. The Flames’ also entered the week ranked fourth in the nation in the latest NCAA Division statistical rankings (through April 3).
Leading the way for the Flames is catcher Casey Rasmus who is 17-for-18 in steal
attempts this season. He is currently second in the Big South Conference in stolen bases. Center fielder Ian Parmley is next on the team and ranks fourth in the Big South with
14 thefts (11-for-19).
The Flames stolen base totals are definitely a stark contrast from last season, when
only outfielder Curran Redal had stolen six bases and led the team at this point in the
year. This season, four Liberty players have six or more base thefts. Outfielder Michael
Robertson and shortstop Matt Williams join the previously mentioned Rasmus and Parmley, with seven stolen bases apiece, while fellow outfielder Doug Bream has six stolen
bases. Bream, a senior, entered the year with a career total of two stolen bases over his
previous three seasons.
Tyler Bream Moves into Career 2Bs List
With a double in the sixth inning of Liberty’s 16-7 victory over Winthrop on March 26,
Liberty junior third baseman Tyler Bream moved into the Top 10 on the school’s career
doubles list with 44.
The third baseman, who had the second-most doubles in a season with 22 in 2010,
has six this year. He is currently tied for ninth in the Big South. Bream is tied with former
Flames Darrell Manuel (1980-83), Steve Wright (1995-98) and Joey Monahan (2000-02)
for 10th on the all-time list with 44 career doubles.
Former Liberty outfielder Phillip Laurent (2003-06) holds the school career record for
two-base hits with 68. He also set the single season record with 27 in 2006.
In addition, shortstop Matt Williams moved to within one two-base hit joining the
school’s top 10 career list in the category with 43, last Tuesday. The junior doubled in the
third inning to reach 43 doubles in the 11-1 win at VCU. Last season, Williams also had
22 two-base hits, tying Bream for second on the single season list. The shortstop is tied
for the Liberty lead with left fielder Doug Bream with nine doubles this season.
Casey Rasmus - Base Cop
Flames catcher Casey Rasmus has been tough to on base stealers this season.
The junior begins the week having thrown out 41% (14-of-34) of would-be base stealers.
Rasmus leads the Big South Conference in caught base stealers.
On the flip side, the catcher leads Liberty and ranks second in the Big South with 17
steals. Rasmus is 17-for-18 in steal attempts.

Evans Pitches Way into Record Book
After striking out six this past Sunday at Coastal Carolina, senior left-hander Steven
Evans has moved into fourth on Liberty’s all-time strikeout list with 231, surpassing former teammate Dustin Umberger (2006-10), who finished his career last year with 230
strikeouts. Mike Brown (1994-97) is Liberty’s career strikeout leader with 287. Evans is
currently third in the Big South with 46 strikeouts this season.
Also with the victory, Evans moves into a tie for fifth on the program’s career wins list
with 22. The senior, who has a career record of 22-10, is tied with Niles Creekmore (198386), Alex Dooley (1999-02) and Michael Solbach (2005-07) on the all-time list. Liberty
standout Lee Guetterman won 29 games during his career to top the Liberty all-time wins
list.
In addition with seven innings of work Sunday, the senior move into the Liberty career
innings pitch list’s Top 10 with 268 2/3 innings. Evans passed Kyle Bryan, who pitched
268 1/3 innings as a Flame from 1981-85 to move into 10th on the program’s all-time list.
A fixture of the Flames pitching staff over the past four years, Evans has a 22-10
record with a 3.58 ERA. The left-hander has walked 87 batters for a 2.7 to 1 strikeout to
walk ratio.
Picking Up the Pace
With new bats and new rules to speed up time between innings and govern mound
visits, the time Flames contests have been played in this season has seen a significant
drop. So far this season, Liberty games have run an average of 2:30, compared to 2:45
at this point in 2010, an 15-minute difference.
Last season through 29 games, Liberty had already played seven games which lasted
three hours or longer, with the the longest being 3:43 in a 14-13, 10 inning setback to Manhattan on March 20. This season, the Flames have had only three games go over three
hours, the longest 3:11 in a 17-5 loss in game two of a twinbill at Mercer on Feb. 19.
Are New Bats Affecting Power Numbers?
How much has the new bat affected play this season? The Flames have 56 less hits
than last season through 29 games and have seen their extra base hits drop also. The
Flames have 68 extra base hits - 48 doubles, five triples and 15 home runs, so far in 2011.
Liberty has a .383 slugging percentage.
In comparison at this point last season, the Flames had 34 more extra base hits or
33% more than this season. Jim Toman’s 2010 club had 102 extra base hits at this point
of the season - 73 doubles, seven triples and 22 home runs.
Breams Big at VCU
Liberty third baseman Tyler Bream hit a two-run home run and drove in three runs and
left fielder Doug Bream had three RBIs in an 11-1 Flames victory over the VCU Rams, last
Tuesday afternoon at the Diamond.
Tyler Bream hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning, with Doug aboard to give the
Flames a 6-1 advantage. It was one of two hits the third baseman had on the day. Doug
Bream also had two hits in the game.
Catcher Cody Rasmus had three hits and scored three runs for Liberty, which had 12
hits in the game. Shortstop Matt Williams and designated hitter Marcus Grimaldi had two
hits each.
Flames Take Series with Season-High in Runs
Shortstop Matt Williams drove in five runs with four hits, including one a home run, as
the Liberty Flames cranked out a season-high for runs in a 16-7 victory over the Winthrop
Eagles in the final game of a three-game Big South series, this March 26 at Worthington
Stadium. The win allowed the Flames to take the three-game series, two games to one,
and start the season 5-1 in the Big South.
In the contest, the Flames scored a season-high 16 runs, eclipsing their previous high
in a 12-2 win over Binghamton on March 4. In addition, Liberty tied their season-high for
hits in a contest with 20. Every member of the Liberty batting order had at least one hit in
the contest.

Complete Games Highlight Sweep
Each of Liberty’s starting pitchers of its three-game Big South series pitched a complete game, keying a sweep of the Charleston Southern Buccaneers in the first conference series of the year, March 18-20.
After allowing a combined four runs the previous week at the Keith LeClair Classic,
Liberty starters, Keegan Linza, John Niggli and Steven Evans once again turned the
trick, holding the Buccaneers to four runs over the entire three-game series.
Linza got things started, Friday. The senior right-hander outdueled his Charleston
Southern counterpart, going the distance in his second consecutive outing in a 2-1 win.
Linza allowed one run on eight hits, striking out a career-high 10 to run his record to 4-0
on the year.
Niggli followed-up with a gem of his own on Saturday afternoon. The junior righthander threw his first complete game in a Liberty uniform in a 5-1 victory. Niggli gave
up one run on five hits, striking out four. From the third inning on, the junior dominated,
not allowing a Charleston Southern hit until a two-out infield single in the ninth inning.
During the stretch, the Liberty right-hander allowed only two runners to reach, on a walk
in the fifth and another walk in the sixth inning.
On Sunday, Evans made it three consecutive complete games, pitching his first of
the season and the fifth of his career in a 5-2 victory over the Buccaneers. He allowed
two runs on six hits, fanning 12 to set a new career-high and walked one.
Baker Comes Up Big at Maryland
A strong relief appearance by Garrett Baker and seven extra base hits propelled the
Liberty Flames past the Maryland Terrapins, 11-4, March 15 at Smith Stadium in College
Park, Md.
Baker entered the contest with the bases loaded, no one out and one run already
in for Maryland in the first inning and quickly restored order in the contest. The junior
allowed only an unearned run, scattering three hits over eight effective innings. The
left-hander struck out five and walked none, running his record to 2-0. He retired seven
consecutive batters from the second through the fourth inning and later, finished his outing by setting down 12 Terrapins in order.
Despite trailing 3-0 after one inning, the Flames answered with four runs in the
third inning to take a lead they never relinquished. In the frame, second baseman Zach
Haley and first baseman Jeff Jefferson hit solo home runs. For Haley, it was his first of
the season, while Jefferson’s roundtripper was his second on the year.
Haley led all players in the contest with three hits, including two extra base hits. One
of left fielder Doug Bream’s two hits in the game was a bases-clearing double.

Linza got things started on March 11, firing the first complete game of the season by
a Liberty starting pitcher in a 5-2 victory over Rutgers. The senior right-hander allowed
two runs on seven hits, striking out five and not walking a Scarlet Knight batter.

out of the contest to earn his first save of the year.
Left-hander Steven Evans capped the weekend by handcuffing the host East

to a 2-0 victory, March 13. The senior left-hander held the Pirate hitters in check
during his outing, scattering four hits over 7 1/3 scoreless innings to pick up his
first victory of 2011. The left-hander struck out a season-high nine batters and
walked three, running his record to 1-3 on the season. He retired the last eight
batters he faced, before giving way to reliever Dane Beakler with one out. Beakler
completed the shutout with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, as Liberty claimed the
title.
Flames Belt 20 in Game as Bats Come Alive vs. Binghamton
In its home opener on March 4, Liberty pounded out 20 hits, a season-high in
a 12-2 win over the Bearcats in the first game of the year at Worthington Stadium.
The last time the Flames had 20 or more hits in a single game since Liberty belted
21 hits in a 16-9, 10-inning victory at Presbyterian College on April 25, 2010.
The Flames hit .396 as team during the three-game series with Binghamton
and averaged 9.3 runs per game.
Leading the way during the series was catcher Casey Rasmus, who hit .545
and tied for the team-high in hits with six. The junior ripped his first home run of
the season and scored four times during the three-game series.
Third baseman Tyler Bream and shortstop Matt Williams also had six hits

Connections - Part I
Three Liberty Flames, catcher Casey Rasmus, third
baseman Tyler Bream and infielder Austin Taylor, each
have connections to Major League Baseball through family members.
Rasmus, a junior, is in his first season as a member
of the Liberty roster. His brother Colby is a member of
the St. Louis Cardinals and enters his third season as an
outfielder with the team in 2011.
Bream, also a junior, is the son of former major leaguer Sid Bream. Sid Bream, a Liberty standout during his
collegiate days, played 12 seasons in the majors (198394) with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros.
Taylor, a senior, is the nephew of former major leaguer Bill Taylor. Bill Taylor spent parts of eight seasons with
the Oakland A’s, New York Mets and Tampa Bay Rays.
Connections - Part II
Three Flames are carrying on a family tradition, as a
member of their family formerly played baseball at Liberty.
First baseman/outfielder Doug Bream’s uncle Dave
was a member of the Liberty baseball program from 198285.
Third baseman Tyler Bream’s father, Sid, and two
uncles, Dave and Sheldon, were members of the Flames.
Sid, who went on to play in the major leagues, was a
standout for Liberty on the diamond from 1979-81. The
first baseman and Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame member
was named a NAIA and NABC All-American in 1981, as
the Flames reached the NAIA National Tournament.
Bream’s uncles, Dave and Sheldon, were also members of the Flames baseball team during their college
days. Dave played infield for Liberty from 1982-85, while
Sheldon was an outfielder with the Flames from 1989-93.
Tyler and Doug are second cousins.
Meanwhile, pitcher Garrett Baker begins his first season at Liberty. The junior left-hander’s brothers, Jason
and Steve, played for the Flames. Jason patrolled the
outfield for the Flames from 1993-95, earning first team
All-Big South honors in 1995. Steve was also an outfielder at Liberty from 1999-02. He was named to the Big
South all-conference second team in 2002.
California Dreaming
Six 2011 Flames hail from the Golden State, the second highest number on the roster next to Liberty’s home
state of Virginia. Seven members of the Liberty roster are
natives of Virginia. Four Flames each hail from the states
of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Washington, while
three are Pennsylvania natives. States also represented
on the Liberty roster are Alabama, Arizona, New York,
South Carolina and Tennessee.
The Captains
Seniors Jeff Jefferson, Mark Swanson and Steven
Evans, along with junior Tyler Bream have been chosen
as captains for the 2011 Liberty Baseball team. The four
were selected by virtue of a team vote.
