Challenge - Wilmington, N.C. * - Big South Game (DH) - Doubleheader All Times Eastern Standard Time Head Coach Jim Toman Record at Liberty: 107-64-1 (Three Years) Career Record: Same After leading the Flames to the best record of any Liberty head coach during his first two years, 68-47-1, Jim Toman reached 100 career victories in a 10-7 win over Gardner-Webb on May 2. The three-year coach becomes the fastest out of Liberty’s six head coaches in reaching the milestone. Last season, Liberty recorded a 33-21 overall record, while posting a 17-9 mark in Big South Conference play, the most victories by the school since joining the conference in 1992. While recording 30 or more wins in each of Toman’s seasons in Lynchburg, Liberty reached the plateau for the fifth consecutive season for the first time in the program’s 36-year history in 2009. 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. The 2009 team’s fielding percentage ranked 16th in the country. 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), while catcher Errol Hollinger later signed a free agent contract (Arizona Diamondbacks). In 2008, the Flames fashioned a 13-3-1 record in the month of May to finish the 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 36-year 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 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 this past summer. 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 also eclipsed the school’s single-season doubles mark, ripping 155 two-base hits. The total ranked the Flames fifth in the country in the category. 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 is the sixth head coach in the 37-year history of the Liberty Baseball program. The second-year skipper comes to Liberty 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 worked with the team’s catchers. Known as one of the top recruiters in college baseball, the 19-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. From 2003-2006, three of the four Gamecock recruiting classes were ranked first in the nation by Collegiate Baseball. Toman’s 2003, 2005 and 2006 classes were named the top recruiting classes by the publication. During his time on the staff in Columbia, S.C., Toman and the Gamecocks made nine NCAA Regional appearances, including eight-straight since 2000, 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 15 teams to NCAA Regional appearances. In addition, South Carolina posted eight-straight seasons of 40 or more wins with Toman on the Gamecock coaching staff, including 2007. During Toman’s 11 seasons at South Carolina, he helped the Gamecocks to a combined 500-220 (.694) record. Toman earned four baseball letters at N.C. State, 1981-84, and was captain of the Wolfpack his junior and senior seasons. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in vocational industrial education in 1985. He received a Master of Science degree in sport management from N.C. State in 1995. Upon graduation, Toman entered the coaching profession as an assistant at Richmond County High School in Rockingham, N.C., for two years. He moved into the collegiate coaching ranks in 1989 as an assistant at Florida International for one year. At FIU, he was responsible for the weight program, worked with the squad’s catchers and coached first base. Toman joined the N.C. State staff before the 1990 season. 2010 Liberty Flames Roster No. Name Pos.

The senior became the first Flame since David Bechtold in 2005 to strike out over 200 batters. Bechtold struck out 241 hitters from 2002-05. Taking One for the Team In each of the past two seasons, the Flames have set a new team record for being hit by a pitch, and this season has been no different. A Liberty player has been hit by a pitch 115 times in 2010, once again setting a new program standard. The total eclipses last season’s team record 95, which was set over 54 games. The Flames rank third nationally in the category in the latest NCAA statistics, through games of May 16. Catcher Nathan Thompson has been hit 19 times to lead the Flames. The Liberty record for number of times being hit by a pitch in a season is 22, set by David Benham in 1998.

Guetterman becomes the second baseball player to be inducted into the Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame, joining Sid Bream who was inducted in the Hall’s first class this past fall. During a highly successful four-year stint in a Liberty uniform, Guetterman set benchmarks that still stand three decades later. He is Liberty’s all-time career leader in games started (47), complete games (30), shutouts (7), wins (29) and innings pitched (334.2). Additionally, his 3.07 career ERA ranks second in school history, while his 220 strikeouts is fifth on Liberty’s all-time listings. Not just a dominating force on the mound, he certainly helped out his own cause at the plate. He posted a .325 career batting average, with 108 RBIs and 82 runs scored. The impressive statistics helped him earn NAIA All-America first-team honors as a senior in 1981. Guetterman was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the fourth round of the 1981 MLB Draft, beginning an 11-year career, which saw him play for the Mariners, New York Yankees, New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals. Following a four-year standout career at Samford in football and baseball, Worthington played for five different major league programs, including a five-year stint with the Minnesota Twins. In 1974, Worthington started Liberty’s baseball program. His 13-year coaching stint enabled him to become the winningest coach in program history. Following the first year of the program, Liberty never again had a losing record during the final dozen years under his tutelage. Worthington was named Liberty’s fifth Director of Athletics in Dec. 1983, a role he held until he retired in 1989.

Teufel’s Scoreless Streak Ends Senior left-hander Shawn Teufel gave up only his second run of the season March 19. A Manhattan home run in the fourth halted the left-hander’s scoreless innings streak at 24, which spanned over five starts for the senior.

The streak tops a previous career-high of 10 scoreless innings by the pitcher last season, from April 4-18. The scoreless span left the left-hander five innings shy of the school record of 29, set by Tim Harrell in 2000. Best Start Since 1995 Liberty started its 2010 season with a 9-0 record. The mark tied the 1995 Flames for the best start to a year in the 36-year history of the program. Liberty tied the mark with a 10-1 win over Delaware State at Worthington Stadium on March 7. The Flames’ start was the best during the three-year tenure of Liberty Head Coach Jim Toman. During Toman’s first season in 2008, the Flames opened the year, 5-1. Liberty also tied the programs’ record for consecutive wins at the NCAA Division I level with the streak. Five other Flames squads have won nine consecutive games (2009, 2008, 2006, 1995, 1985). The 1976 Liberty team holds the school record for consecutive victories with 15.
