The 2010 baseball season will mark the beginning of a new era for the Tigers. Af-ter playing the 2009 season without a true place to call home, head coach Daron Schoenrock and his club return to the Uni-versity’s Park Avenue Campus to play in its new home—the newly redesigned FedEx-Park. “We can’t express how thankful we are to the FedEx Corporation for what they have done to upgrade our baseball facilities,” said Schoenrock. The outlook is a bright one for the 2010 club that returns nine position players that have seen signifi cant time in the Memphis lineup over the past two seasons. In addi-tion, for the fi rst time since Schoenrock’s
arrival at Memphis, the Tigers return its en-tire starting pitching rotation. A more experi-enced club, combined with a new home that will provide a more settled and stable envi-ronment have the Tigers primed for a run at post season play. “The expectations from within will be a bit stronger than the expectations from with-out,” Schoenrock stated.
Pitchers Memphis’ success will start on the mound, where it is as deep and healthy as it has been in Schoenrock’s tenure. The staff that showcases four senior arms in Brennon Mar-tin, Brach Davis, Ryan Fraser and Marc Ash-
ley, will be under new instruction as Schoen-rock hired former Oklahoma and Tennessee pitching coach Fred Corral in the offseason. Corral has made his presence felt early. “Our staff has gained physically and mentally this fall under Coach Corral,” said Schoenrock. “I expect them to continue to progress as they learn his system through-out the course of the spring. It’s still going to be a learning situation.” All four senior hurlers have seen time as a starter in their careers. Martin and Davis will anchor the Tiger’s staff. Martin won six games in 2009 and fanned a career-high 59 batters. Davis struck out 53 and fi nished strong, winning two of his last three starts. Sophomore Heith Hatfi eld or Fraser will

vie for the third and fi nal week-end slot, with the other assum-ing the closer role that was va-cated with the departure of the program’s all-time saves leader, Matt Yokley. Schoenrock and Corral will be challenged with fi nding the best way to use both pitchers to fi nd success. Hat-fi eld, who is coming off of minor elbow surgery, had a solid fresh-man campaign in which he saw time fi rst as a closer before be-ing moved to the Sunday starter. He collected saves in each of his fi rst three outings and fi nished the year with 33 strikeouts. Fra-ser, who was moved to the Tiger bullpen after early struggles in 2009, had a tremendous sum-mer season and fanned 34 in 28 innings and boasted a 3.86 ERA for the North Adams Steeplecats of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL). He worked out of the bullpen in 14 of his 16 outings. Junior left-hander Ryan Holland rebound-ed from a shaky sophomore campaign to have a nice fall. The Knoxville, Tenn., native is expected to earn a midweek rotation job. Junior Marcus Barnes and sophomore Jonathan Jones will hold down the major middle-to-late-inning relief duties. Barnes a hard-throwing lefty, was solid out of the bullpen for the Tigers last year. He went 2-1, with two saves and led the staff in ERA (3.86), appearances (19) and opponent’s batting average (.211). Jones was a pleas-ant surprise to the Memphis coaching staff in ’09. The redshirt freshman was strong in middle relief and logged 27 innings in two outings. He struck out 22 batters and fi n-ished second among Tiger relievers with a 5.33 ERA.
Infield “Defensive understanding of what we
have to do to win games will be a strength of this club,” Schoenrock said. Sophomore Chad Zurcher appears to have recovered from a season-ending injury he suffered in the opening weekend of the 2009 season and looks to return to short-stop, where he was an everyday fi xture in the Tiger’s lineup as a freshman in 2008. Under the direction of infi elder’s coach Derrick Dunbar, 2009 Conference USA All-Freshman selection Adam McClain will re-turn to second base as a much-improved defender. “Adam feels most comfortable playing sec-ond base, which will help him offensively,” said Schoenrock. “We are going to count on a lot of offense out of Adam, so leaving him in a position where he’s comfortable is important.”
McClain hit .288 with 26 RBI and six home runs as a redshirt freshman. The Memphis coaching staff looks for a breakout sopho-more campaign from third base-man Jacob Wilson. A product of Bartlett High School, Wilson hit just .250 in his rookie sea-son, but started in all 53 games and tied for the team lead with 14 doubles. He returns as the team’s top RBI producer. Senior fi rst baseman Trey Wiedman and senior catcher Shawn Ablett will be looked to, to provide power numbers. Wied-man returns for his fi nal season after hitting .285 with 29 RBI, 12 doubles and three homers in 2009. Wiedman, who led Mem-phis in six offensive categories in 2008, has battled through inju-ries throughout his Tigers career and keeping him healthy will be key to the success of the 2010
Tigers. Ablett had a solid fi rst year in Divi-sion play. The Tiger backstop fi nished third on the team with a .297 batting average and clubbed fi ve home runs. Big things are anticipated from juco trans-fer Alan Mathis. Mathis had a solid sum-mer season, but missed fall workouts with an arm injury, but will also be expected to provide the Tiger offense with punch and power.
Outfield After garnering All-Freshman honors in 2009, sophomore Drew Martinez returns to centerfi eld. The fi rst freshman since 1981 to lead a U of M team in hitting, Martinez posted a team-high .309 batting average and paced the club with 60 hits. In addition, the rookie legged out 11 doubles. SS

the need to become more physical to play through the 56-game grind that Conference USA gives,” Schoenrock said. Senior Tyler Huelsing will take over in one of the corner outfi eld positions. Huelsing, who hit .300 in 2009, fi nished the season with a seven-game hit streak. Junior Robby Graham had a productive fall season and projects to see time opposite Huelsing. The Memphis coaching staff is pleased with the emergence of true freshman Der-rick Thomas. A draft pick of the Boston Red Sox in the 2009 MLB First-Year Player Draft, Thomas has shown signs of becom-ing a signifi cant contributor to the Tiger of-fense.
Schedule Memphis is once again faced with a chal-lenging schedule, both in C-USA play and out. The slate showcases 29 home games, including 13 contests versus NCAA Region-al participants. “To get to postseason play, to Regionals and to get to Omaha, you have to put to-gether a schedule that matches your roster,” Schoenrock stated. “As this younger bunch is getting a little older, I have stepped up what we do schedule-wise. We are putting our guys in competitive environments every time we can.” That is evident, with a more experienced club; Schoenrock has ramped up the com-petition for the upcoming season. In its 56-game schedule, Memphis will play 20 games against 2009 NCAA Regional par-ticipants, 14 contests versus fi ve clubs that won either their respective regular season or conference tournament titles, 11 games against NCAA Regional champs and three against one College World Series qualifi er. With FedExPark set to open in Febru-ary, Memphis will get the 2010 season underway, at home, with a three-game set against in-state rival and Sun Belt Tourna-ment champs Middle Tennessee—one of the Tigers’ seven opponents that advanced to NCAA postseason play in 2009. The MTSU series is one of two non-conference weekends in which Memphis will host an NCAA Regional foe. The Tigers will also host 2009 Ohio Valley Tournament champ Tennessee Tech on Mar., 19-21. The Tigers’ non-conference slate is high-lighted by a pair of tilts versus NCAA Re-gional champions Ole Miss. Memphis will travel to Oxford, Miss. for a March 2 meet-ing, before hosting the Rebels in the annual clash at AutoZone Park on April 13. In ef-forts to boost its RPI late in the year, Mem-phis will travel to Big 12 member, Oklahoma
for a three-game weekend, May 14-16. The U of M will make home-and-home trips with Louisiana-Monroe
and Arkansas State. Other non-league sets include a two-game series at Dallas Baptist (Mar. 12-13) and against South Alabama (Mar. 16-17). The Tigers will host the likes of 2009 C-USA regular season title holders East Caro-lina, 2009 C-USA Tournament champion Rice, Tulane and UAB in league action, while traveling to Marshall, UCF, Houston and 2009 College World Series participant Southern Miss. Memphis will face very tough road challenges at Marshall, UCF, Houston and CWS participant Southern Miss. The 2010 Conference USA Champion-ship is scheduled for May 26-30 at the Uni-versity of Houston’s Cougar Field. For the fi rst time in C-USA history, the top six teams from the regular season will advance to the conference tournament. “There are no weekends in the league where you can forecast or predict what will happen,” Schoenrock stated. “None of our road weekends are at places that are easy places to play. It will be a battle every week-end, but the neat thing is that we will have a number of guys in our lineup who have been in this league for a year now. We are not quite as experienced as we were in 2006 or 2007, but we are getting closer.”
Tiger outfi elders Drew Martinez (left) and Tyler Huelsing (right) were the lone Tigers to hit .300 or better in 2009. The duo led the team with a .309 and .300 batting average, respectively. Huelsing also led the club with 12 stolen bases.

Head Coach Daron SchoenrockH d C h D S h kHead Coach Daron SchoenrockHead Coach Daron Schoenrock
The 16th baseball coach in school history, Da-ron Schoenrock enters his sixth season at the controls of Memphis baseball. After a rocky inau-gural season, Schoenrock confi rmed what many in the coaching world believed to be true when he was hired—that he was one of the top new head coaches in the business and that he woudl revive a once successful Memphis baseball program. With Schoenrock at the helm of the Memphis program that is noted as one on the rise, it was no surprise that the Tigers were able to end the 13-year postseason hiatus and earn a berth to the NCAA Tournament in 2007. With Schoenrock on the Tiger bench, the 2007 team went 36-27, mark-ing the most wins since 1994 and, combined with the 2006 campaign represented the fi rst back-to-back winning seasons since the 1994 and 1995
slates. Schoenrock inherited a program that had lost its top three pitchers and 10 seniors from 2004, and struggled through a 13-42 campaign in 2005. With a well-planned goal, he wasted little time working to get the Tiger baseball program back on track, signing 25 newcomers for the 2006 sea-son, including four four-year transfers, a National Junior College Player of the Year honoree and fi ve major league draftees. Schoenrock brought those additions together and led the Tigers to a 32-win season in just his second campaign. The 32 wins were the most wins for Schoenrock in his three years as a head coach and the most by a Memphis baseball club since 2001. The 19-game turnaround tied for the second-best winning turn-around in the country in 2006 and also tied for the

best turnaround in Tiger baseball history—tying that of the 2001 team. Along with that 32-28 mark came Memphis’ fi rst appearance in the Confer-ence USA semifi nals since the 2001 season. Hired on June 29, 2004, Schoenrock immedi-ately launched his plan to elevate Tiger Baseball by intensifying recruiting efforts, marketing sea-son ticket campaigns, increasing revenue gener-ated by the Bullpen Club and yearly banquets, and putting a plan in motion to upgrade the Tiger baseball facility. The Tiger skipper has overseen the the facelift recently given to FedExPark. Through 17 years as an assistant (the last sev-en in the SEC), Schoenrock learned the impor-tance an entire coaching staff has in carrying out the daily process of a program. In the summer of 2009, Schoenrock elevated fi ve-year Tiger staffer Jerry Zulli to recruiting coordinator and brought in nationally renouned pitching coach Fred Corral to Memphis as the Associate Head Coach. Both of these moves, along with the retention of assis-tant coach and camps coordinator Derrick Dun-bar and Director of Operations Al Woods have Schoenrock thrilled with the staff he has in place. The difference he has made has been evident off the fi eld as well. In just his fi rst semester a more disciplined baseball team recorded the program’s highest GPA ever. They once again recorded a program-high GPA with a 3.2 mark in the fall 2009 semester. A mirror of its coach, his squad also has been involved in community ser-vice efforts, such as visiting children at the Ron-ald McDonald House, Target House and St. Jude every year since his hiring. The Tigers added Streets Ministries to its goodwill efforts, preparing a meal and interacting with the inner city youth in a visit to the community outreach organization in the fall of 2006. In the spring of 2008, Mem-phis visited Southaven’s Field of Dreams where they held a special Meet-and-Greet session and donated gifts to support the league that serves special-needs children in the Mid-South. Schoenrock came to Memphis after several successful years as an assistant coach. Before taking the post as the Tigers’ skipper, he spent three seasons as an assistant coach on the Mis-sissippi State staff—his fi fth year in association with former State coaching legend Ron Polk. His primary responsibilities included coaching Bull-dog pitchers, and overseeing MSU’s recruiting ef-forts. Schoenrock also coordinated the activities of the Bulldogs’ foster-parent program. Regarded as one of college baseball’s premier pitching coaches, Schoenrock has coached 77 players that have signed professional baseball contracts. He has sent 46 pitchers under his tu-telage to the professional level, including Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon, and Paul Maholm, who was a fi rst-round pick (the No. 7 overall) of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Three Bulldog pitchers were taken in the 2004 First-Year Player Draft. Since coming to Memphis, fi ve Tigers have been drafted and six have signed pro deals. Un-der Schoenrock’s leadership a program record four U of M pitchers were drafted in the 2008 Ma-jor League Draft. The 2006 Major League Baseball season was special to Schoenrock as two of his former pitchers achieved national recognition. Former Kentucky Wildcat Brandon Webb won the 2006 National League Cy Young Award, while former Mississippi State Bulldog Papelbon was the run-ner-up for the 2006 American League Rookie of the Year honor. A three-time American League
seball history tying
Head Coach Daron SchoenrockAll-Star, Papelbon won the 2007 “DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year Award”. Webb, also a three-time All-Star se-lection, was the Cy Young runner-up in 2007 and 2008. Prior to joining Polk at MSU, he served as the pitching coach in 2000 and 2001 on the Univer-sity of Georgia staff. In Athens, he developed a Bulldog pitching staff that, in 2001, helped boost Georgia to its fi rst SEC championship in 47 years and its fi rst appearance in the NCAA College World Series since 1990. He launched his affi li-ation with Southeastern Conference baseball in 1998 at the University of Kentucky. He served two seasons on the coaching staff of former MSU baseball staffer Keith Madison, coaching the UK pitchers and catchers and heading up the Wild-cats’ recruiting program in 1998 and 1999. His coaching expertise gained national acclaim dur-ing a highly-successful eight-year coaching stint at Birmingham Southern. His Panther pitchers improved their staff earned run averages each season and helped lead Birmingham Southern to the 1995 NAIA World Series. In the summer that followed, Schoenrock earned a position as the short-season pitching coach for the Chicago White Sox’s affi liate in the Appalachian League. Schoenrock was a four-year starting pitcher under Coach David Mays at Tennessee Tech Uni-versity. He earned his bachelor’s degree in sec-ondary education with a certifi cation in biology before launching his coaching career as a gradu-ate assistant coach there in 1985. He continued his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach under ABCA Hall of Famer Johnny Rea-gan at Murray State University, where he earned a master’s degree in education in 1987. Schoenrock took on his fi rst head coaching job in 1988 at Lincoln Memorial University in Har-rogate, Tenn. He was 25-52 in his two years as coach of the Railsplitters. Schoenrock guided LMU to its fi rst postseason appearance in fi ve years and was named the Tennessee Valley Athletic Confer-ence Coach of the Year in 1989. Much like the 2009 Tigers, Schoenrock’s 1989 Lincoln Memorial
team played the entire season on the road as facil-ity renovations were being completed. A native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Schoenrock has been involved in numerous community out-reach efforts, sharing his knowledge at coach-ing clinics and banquets nationwide and making several appearances for speaking engagements across the country, as well as in the Memphis area since taking the head coaching post at the U of M. Schoenrock also serves as a clinician for www.mycoachonline.com, a baseball instruc-tion website, and is also active in Fellowship of Christian Athletes program. In 1995 Schoenrock authored a comprehensive textbook on pitching titled “The Total Pitching Program.” He is currently serving a second three-year term on the selec-tion committee for the ABCA’s prestigious Lefty Gomez Award, an annual award given for lifetime meritorious service to baseball. This past fall, Schoenrock was selected as the chairman for C-USA baseball coaches. Schoenrock, 48, is married to the former Carol Cawood of Harlan, Ky. Carol is involved in the Tigers’ baseball program as she coordinates the Tiger Diamond Darlings program. They are the parents of two sons, Erik, 18, and Bret, 7.

Associate Head Coach Fred Corral
The Corral File
On August 17, 2009, former University of Ten-nessee pitching coach Fred Corral was hired as the associate head coach and pitching coach for the University of Memphis baseball team, replac-ing former Tiger pitching coach Michael Federico. As one the most respected college pitching coaches in the country, Corral brings a wealth of collegiate experience and knowledge to the Mem-phis staff. He has served as an assistant coach at Tennessee (two stints), Oklahoma, Sacramento City College and San Joaquin Delta College. Corral will inherit a senior-laden pitching staff that posted a 6.30 ERA with 377 strikeouts in 2009. Memphis' pitching staff has posted a 5.73 ERA or higher in each of the last fi ve seasons. Corral's last stop at Tennessee (2007-09) saw him instruct UT freshman Bryan Morgado to Freshman All-American honors and a spot on the Roger Clemens Award watch list in 2008. Under Corral's guidance, Morgado fanned 104 batters, marking just the second time in Volun-teer baseball history that a freshman eclipsed the 100-strikeout plateau. Corral also helped several UT hurlers post dramatic improvements over his second two-year stint in Knoxville. Corral made the move to head the pitching staff at Oklahoma following the 2004 season. During his three years with the Sooners, he helped OU to two consecutive NCAA Regional appearances, including the program's fi rst Super Regional showing in 2006. During Corral's tenure at Oklahoma, nine pitchers were taken in the MLB Draft (including 13th-rounder Daniel McCutchen) and six Sooner hurlers earned All-Big 12 honors. During Corral's fi rst stint at Tennessee, he led the Volunteers pitching staff to the top of the pitching-rich SEC as well as the nation. His staffs posted consecutive sub-3.90 ERA's, and UT's 3.51 ERA in 2004 ranked 13th in the country. The 2004 Volunteer staff recorded the fi fth-most strikeouts in school history and held opponents to a .243 batting average, which was UT's lowest mark in nine seasons. Tennessee also had three pitchers in 2004 who's ERAs ranked among the top 12 in the SEC. Four of Corral's pitchers at Tennessee have gone on to be selected in the MLB draft. He signed James Adkins and coached Luke Hoche-var, hurlers who now rank fi rst and third on UT's all-time strikeouts list, respectively. Hochevar now starts for the Kansas City Royals, and Adkins is in the process of ascending toward the major leagues. Corral began his collegiate coaching career in 1993 as a pitching coach at his alma mater San Joaquin Delta Junior College in Stockton, Calif. He spent two seasons there (1993-95), before being hired to take the reins of the Sacramento City College pitching staff. From 1996-2002, Corral served as the pitching coach at SCC, where he was a vital part of the program's success. Under one of the most highly respected and successful junior college coaches in the nation in Jerry Weinstein, Corral served on a coaching staff that produced one national championship, fi ve Bay Valley East Conference championships and a pair of state runner-up ti-tles. His staffs compiled an overall record of 281-56-1 for an .833 winning percentage during his tenure.
Of the 36 drafted pitchers under his tutelage at SCC, 13 signed professional contracts. Every pitcher Corral coached at SCC was either drafted or transferred to a four-year institution. Corral's credentials of developing pitching tal-ent speak for themselves. In 16 years as a colle-giate pitching coach, 59 of his pitchers have been drafted, nine of which were selected in the top-10 rounds of the MLB Draft and six (Matt Riley, Adam Bernero, Mike Neu, Joe Horgan, Luke Hochevar and Charlie Zink) have advanced to baseball's top level. In all, Corral's instruction has helped 65 pitchers reach the professional level. Much like Schoenrock, Corral has also had extensive experience in the professional ranks. He has worked as a pitching instructor in the Los Angeles Dodgers (2000-01) and Montreal Expos (1999) organizations, and also served a coach for Major League Baseball International (1994). As a player, Corral was a fi rst-team All-Pac-10 selection as a relief pitcher at the University of California in 1987. The Golden Bears eighth 10-game winner, Corral set a school record for single-season win-loss percentage with a perfect 10-0 record in 1987. The southpaw added fi ve saves and a 3.75 ERA in his sophomore season (1987) en route to earning the team's Most Valu-able Pitcher honor. Corral helped lead the Golden Bears to their fourth College World Series ap-pearance in 1988. He fi nished his career with a 13-5 mark, a 4.50 ERA and six saves. Prior to his Division I career at Cal, Cor-ral starred at San Joaquin Delta Junior College where he garnered All-Camino Notre Conference honors in 1985 and 1986. Corral is married to the former Cynthia Drost, of Ripon, Calif., and the couple has two children, Kaitlyn Joy and Justin Jerome. The couple's niec-es, Marisa and Chelsea, and nephews, Michael and Robert, also live with them.
Fred’s passion for teaching pitching and building a pitching staff is expressed in a fi rst meeting with him. The bond he builds with his pitchers is special and his impact on this pro-gram goes far beyond just the pitching staff. We are fortunate he is a Tiger! –Head Coach Daron Schoenrock

The Zulli File
Jerry Zulli enters his fi fth season on the Mem-phis Tigers’ coaching staff. Zulli is responsible for the instruction of the Tiger hitters and outfi elders. He has also taken on a signifi cant role in the re-cruiting process, as well as placing Tiger players on teams in collegiate-level wooden bat leagues to hone and improve their skills in the summer. Zulli, brings a dimension of energy and enthu-siasm in his philosophy of teaching the offensive game, and has an excellent ability to evaluate talent. Zulli’s offenses have posted some of the best numbers in Memphis baseball history over the past two seasons, including banging out a record 137 doubles in 2007. In 2006, the Tiger offense posted top-fi ve totals in games played, hits, RBI, runs, doubles and total bases. As one of the most feared offenses in Conference USA, 2007 was more of the same as Zulli’s bunch hit .302 and racked up 665 hits in just over 2200 at-bats. For the second consecutive season, they recorded top-fi ve marks in RBI and total bases, fi nishing with 399 and 1011, respectively.
Under Zulli, numerous Tiger hitters have etched their names in the Memphis baseball re-cord books. In 2007, Michael Murray and Adam Amar became just the second Tiger duo to col-lect over 85 hits in a single season. Meanwhile, Bill Moss and Joey Lieberman each homered 14 times, representing the fi rst time in Tiger baseball history two players have hit as many home runs in the same season. With Zulli’s guidance, K.K. Chalmers took hold of several of the program’s offensive records, including the triples, runs scored and walks marks. Both Chalmers and for-mer Tiger Amar placed their names in the Tigers’ career top-10 hits list under Zulli’s instruction. Zulli has also made his mark on the program off the fi eld as the team’s academic supervisor. As a team, Memphis put together its best aca-demic semester ever by posting a 3.12 GPA in the fall of 2007. On the fi eld, Coach “Z” also serves as the third base coach during the season. While “Z” coaches third base, his product on the fi eld constantly at-tests his coaching ability. Not known as an offen-sive power when he took over as hitting coach, Zulli quickly transformed the Memphis lineup into one of the top hitting teams in C-USA. A year after hitting just .262 as a team, Memphis had a break-out season at the plate, tying Rice for the league lead and ranking 30th nationally with a .315 bat-ting average in 2006. The Tigers’ high-octane offense wrapped up the season ranked in the country’s top-30 (28th at 7.6 runs per game) in scoring after putting up 10 or more runs 17 times. The 2007 crew crossed 10 or more runs 15 times and ranked among the nation’s best in scoring at seven runs per game. Zulli’s philosophy has resulted in a 2007 Nash-ville Regional All-Tournament selection for Amar and six All C-USA selections over the past three seasons. In 2007, Lieberman garnered First-Team DH honors, while Amar, Moss and Murray hauled in Second-Team recognition. Amar and K.K Chalmers were All -C-USA picks in 2006. Zulli has also produced back-to-back hitting titles for Memphis players. Murray led the league with a .375 average in 2007, while Amar, a 2007 pre-season All-American, led C-USA in hitting with a .395 average to earn fi rst team All-C-USA honors
in 2006. He hit .459 in league play—third highest ever in C-USA history. A native of New Orleans, La., Zulli was an assistant coach under Craig Young at Middle Georgia College from 2002-04. While at Middle Georgia, he was the team’s hitting instructor and outfi eld coach. He was also responsible for coor-dinating the Warriors recruiting efforts. In his fi nal two years at MGC, 12 Warriors were drafted by Major League teams. Under Zulli’s assistantship, the Warriors went 130-51—a 72 percent winning percentage. In 2004, the Warriors placed sixth in the JUCO World Series, and ended the year with a 45-17 record. The 2002 Warriors also advanced to the JUCO World Series and ranked sixth in the fi nal National JUCO Poll. He also spent the summer of 2004 as an assis-tant coach of the Hyannis Mets of the Cape Cod Summer League. Under his assistance, the Mets advanced to the semifi nals of the Cape playoffs. Zulli spent the 2003 summer as the assistant for the U-17 East Cobb Braves. Under his instruc-tion, the Braves sent eight players to NCAA Divi-sion I baseball programs and captured the 2003 Perfect Game National Championship. Zulli fi rst arrived at MGC in 1997 as a player. In 1999 Zulli helped lead the Warriors to the Region XVII Championship and fi nish a game away from an East-Central District Championship. During that year, he was a recipient of the Terry Daniels Award. He earned his associate degree in busi-ness management from Middle Georgia in 1999. He then transferred to the University of New Orleans where he played under the direction of Coach Randy Bush. Zulli received his bachelor’s degree, from New Orleans, in sports management in 2002. He is married to the former Kristen Bell of Lawrencev-ille, Ga.
The growth, as a coach, “Z” has experienced over the last fi ve years is incredible. He has a tremendous passion for recruiting, great rap-port with our players and is extremely loyal to the Tiger Baseball program. –Head Coach Daron Schoenrock

A two-year letterwinner on the mound for the Tigers, Duke Williams remains with the program as a gradu-
ate manager for the 2010 baseball season. A former Tiger hurler, Williams will aid in fi eld maintenance as well as assisting in various practice tasks. Williams pitched for the Tigers in 2008-09 and served as one of the club’s top relievers in ’09. Williams transferred to the University of Memphis prior to the 2008 season after a three-year career at Division II power Southern Arkansas. But an arm injury limited him to one inning of work in two outings and forced him to take a redshirt in 2008. The 6-5 Williams came back a better pitcher in 2009 and was an anchor in the resurgence of the Tiger bullpen. In 16 outings, the Memphis native went 2-2 with a 5.40 ERA and two saves. He logged 34 strikeouts in 33.1 innings of relief and holds opponents to a .290 batting average. For his collegiate career, the big right-hander has compiled a 13-10 record with 144 strikeouts.

A tradition lives on for Memphis Baseball. Every time a Tiger home game reaches the middle of the seventh inning, it is Stan Bronson Jr.’s time in the spotlight. The 81-year-old living legend pops from his seat beside the home team’s dugout and heads to the home plate area where he acknowledges the Tiger faithful who have made it out to that day’s game. The fans, in turn, acknowledge Bron-son, who has served as the Tigers’ batboy since 1958.
Stan attends every practice for both the Tiger football and baseball teams and makes cameo appearances at Lady Tiger basketball games and volleyball matches. He has been a Tiger baseball fi xture for more than 50 years and the U of M is looking forward to many more years with Stan in the dugout.
Known as a living legend in Tiger base-ball, he now holds a place in history as the “MOST DURABLE BATBOY” ever, as approved by Guinness World Records. Bronson was honored by the University’s athletic department and presented the of-fi cial Guinness World Records certifi cate in a pre-game ceremony on Sat., May 5, 2007.
During Bronson’s tenure as the batboy, Memphis has played approximately 2,317 games. Bronson will be included in the 2008 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
Spearheaded by Tiger booster Beverley Dunn, the record-setting process came about in 2006 and was aided by yearly University of Memphis baseball media guides, as well as feature productions by Shirley Downing of the Commercial Appeal and Rob Petrone of WPTY/WLMT-TV.
“Stan is a cornerstone of Univer-sity of Memphis baseball. Our players love having Stan around and I look to continue the tradi-tion of having Stan as the offi cial batboy of University of Memphis baseball.”
-Head Coach Daron Schoenrock

Tournament Schedule Houston Hosts 2010 C-USA Baseball Championships The 2010 C-USA Baseball Champi-onships is scheduled for May 26-30 in Houston, Texas. The six-team event will be hosted by Houston at Cougar Field.
Cougar Field Home of the Houston Cougars base-ball program, Cougar Field is a scaled down version of a major league park. The seating capacity of the park, con-taining a fully lighted, grass playing sur-face, is 3,500. However the stadium can accommodate up to 5,000 fans with a pair of grass berm areas located along the outfi eld lines. A canopy roof covers most of the stadium seats and there are 35 spaces for wheel-chairs. The stadium houses the Cougars’ clubhouse, locker rooms and offi ces for coaches. There is also an on-site sports therapy training area as well as equipment rooms, storage and laundry facilities.
New C-USA Championship Format The 2010 Conference USA Championship will feature the top six teams in regular-season league play. Those six will be split into two three-team pools (or pods), with the winner of each pod playing in a single championship game. Teams would be assigned pods based on seed, which would be deter-mined by the order of fi nish in regular-season conference play. Each team will be guaranteed to play three games. Teams in each pod would play two teams in its pod and one team outside its pod. The team with the best composite record in each pod would advance to the championship game. Two-way ties in a pod would be broken by head-to-head play. In case of a three-way tie, the highest seed would advance. The higher seed would be the home team in games on Days 1 and 3 and in the Championship Game; teams that were the visitors on Day 1 would be the home team on Day 2.

As can be expected from a young club, the 2009 season was a roller coaster ride for the Memphis Tigers. Despite the highs of a come-from-behind win over Kansas in the season-opener, the pro-gram’s fi rst win at second-ranked Rice and a series win over eventual College World Series participant Southern Miss, the Tigers’ youth was unable to fi nd consistency. Despite its ups and downs, Memphis made a four-game improve-ment in the win column to fi nish 21-32. At the outset of the season, head coach Daron Schoenrock made the goal for the 2009 season clear. “The main point that we talked about (as a staff) is to keep this team focused and upbeat with two major hurdles to overcome,” he said. “One of them is to overcome the demons of last year and what we went through as a young team in 2008. Second is to change the outcome of those 12 one-run loss games.” The Tigers made a sizeable stride in doing just that in the fi rst contest of the year. Trailing 4-2 in the bottom of the ninth in the season-opener versus Kansas, freshman Drew Martinez capped a three-hit night and a three-run rally with a game-winning single to clinch a 5-4 win in the Service Academies Spring Classic. Just two nights later, Memphis claimed its sec-ond one-run victory behind junior southpaw Brach Davis six inning, six strikeout effort. Freshman re-liever Heith Hatfi eld followed with eight strikeouts, including a U of M record four K’s in the eighth inning, in three innings as Memphis closed out action in the Service Academies Spring Classic with a 2-1 win over the Jayhawks. The win was Schoenrock's 100th victory as head coach at Memphis. The Tigers took a 2-2 mark into the fi rst road weekend of the season—a three-game set at Troy University. Memphis starter junior lefty Brennon Martin matched a then-career-high with seven strikeouts and held Troy scoreless in 8.2 innings of action. However, the Tigers had to hold off a furious ninth-inning rally by the Trojans to claim a 7-5 win in the series opener. Troy won game two of the series, setting up Sunday’s rubber match. But, after an
inning of action in light snow, heavy snowfall forced the cancellation of the series fi nale. “The Troy series showed the typical weather pattern changes you experience during a college baseball season,” Schoenrock said. “Had a great game on Friday and Saturday and there were very few guys wearing jackets in the dugouts. We wake up Sunday with a bad forecast and by ga-metime the snow was so hard you couldn’t even see the outfi elders by the end of the fi rst inning.” After giving up 36 runs in a midweek series at Middle Tennessee, Memphis bounced back with a dominant sweep of Valparaiso. Another solid outing by Martin, combined with Hatfi eld’s third save in as many appearances gave the Tigers a 9-5 win and helped the club improve to 3-0 in Fri-day night series openers. The duo of Ryan Fraser and Marcus Barnes clinched the Tigers’ fi rst series since sweeping in late March 2008. Fraser fanned seven in seven innings and Barnes struck out a pair to guide Memphis to a 6-0 shutout of the Crusaders. Senior reliever Duke Williams completed the sweep by striking out fi ve in 2.2 innings en route to his fi rst win in a Memphis uniform, and senior closer Matt Yokley worked a scoreless ninth to pick up his 15th career save as the Tigers picked up their third-straight one-run triumph via a 3-2 decision versus Valparaiso in the series fi nale. Memphis hit the road to Mobile for a midweek series at South Alabama and midweek success eluded the Tigers for the third-straight week as they suffered a heart-breaking 6-5, 10-inning loss, before giving up a season-high 20 runs in the fi nale. Once again, the club would rebound with a series win over Indiana State. A 10th inning game-winning two-run double by freshman Jacob Wilson sealed the squad’s fourth one-run win of the season—a 6-5 victory in the series opener. Memphis scored a season-high 20 runs on 19 hits to clinch its second consecutive weekend series victory and improve to 8-7 the following day. Ju-nior Zach Clark highlighted the 20-1 win with his fi rst career hit and RBI. That would be the fi nal time Memphis played above .500. Schoenrock’s bunch dropped eight of
the next 10 contests, including a pair of series-de-ciding games versus Marshall and at No. 2 Rice. The Tigers also were outlasted 7-6 in 10 innings against 15th-ranked Ole Miss. The two wins in that 10-game stretch were both league tilts. One was a 10-7 win at No. 2 Rice that was powered by catcher Shawn Ablett. Ablett went 3-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored and he reached base fi ve times to power the Tigers to their second win over Rice when the Owls were ranked second in the nation and the fi rst time it had won at Reckling Park. Riding a three-game losing streak, Memphis opened a weekend set with UCF. Jacob Wil-son went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run and four RBI and Martin scattered nine hits and fanned six in eight innings to snap the skid with a 10-5 win as the Tigers move to 6-1 on Friday night. Memphis pitching walked in four runs in the fourth inning, and the U of M defense committed fi ve errors in a 12-7 loss in game two to set up the third-straight Sunday series-clinching contest. With a 3-0 lead in the top of the ninth, Memphis looked poised to cut its nine-series C-USA los-ing streak. However, UCF had other ideas. With two outs Kiko Vazquez blasted a solo home run to make it 3-1. Chris Duffy then tied the ballgame with a two-run blast to right. Pinch hitter Chadd Hartman kept the game alive with a single and Colin Arnold provided the game-winning hit--a two run shot into the rightfi eld seats to cap a fi ve-run inning and down the Tigers 5-3. On the heels of that last inning loss, Memphis proceeded to win six of its next nine games, be-ginning with a home-and-home midweek set with Arkansas State. Senior DH Cole Shelton and freshman third baseman Jacob Wilson combined to go 7-for-8 with seven RBI and six runs scored to lead the Tigers to a 16-8 win over the Red-Wolves and stop a nine-game midweek losing string. Memphis and A-State split the series when the RedWolves rallied late to win 8-7 in 10 innings in the series fi nale. A career night by Martin got Memphis back on the winning track in the series opener against SIU-Edwardsville. The southpaw struck out a career-best nine batters and scattered seven hits
Tigers Battle Obstacle-Filled Season, Finish 21-32
Inexperience and the lack of a true home resulted in an up and down season for the Tigers. Despite making Millington’s USA Stadium its home for the 2009 season, Memphis played home games at three different ballparks in the Memphis area.

over seven innings to lead the Tigers to a 6-3 vic-tory in the club’s C-USA open weekend. Martin retired the last 11 batters he faced, including sit-ting the Cougars down in order in the fi fth, sixth and seventh innings, in a 93-pitch gem before handing the ball over to Williams, who fanned three and held SIUE scoreless for the fi nal two innings to record his second save of the year. Memphis continued to roll, upending SIU-E 5-1 to win the series on Saturday. Hatfi eld struck out seven in seven innings, and Cole Shelton erased a one-run defi cit with a grand slam in the seventh inning to rally Memphis to victory. The Tigers were unable to fi nd the rally towel to earn a sweep in the fi nale. Despite eight strike-outs from Brach Davis, the Memphis offense left scoring opportunities on the base paths, including striking out 10 times and stranding eight runners in scoring position in a 3-2 rain-shortened loss. With the burden of a winless midweek slat off its back, Memphis put together its most positive midweek performances with a 12-inning win at Central Arkansas, followed by a 13-inning triumph over Austin Peay at Pringles Park in Jackson, Tenn. The Tiger bullpen played a major role in the win over the Bears. Garrett Hachtel, Williams and Barnes combined to hold the Bears score-less over the fi nal seven innings of play. Hachtel had his best appearance of the year, working 3.2 scoreless innings and fanning four Bears hitters. Williams (2-1) earned the win after fanning four in 2.2 scoreless innings of relief action. Barnes earned his second consecutive save of the sea-son. Junior Tyler Huelsing was the offensive hero of the game. The Munford, Tenn., native went 2-for-4 and broke a 3-3 tie with the game-winning two-out solo home run to rightfi eld to push the Ti-gers to a 4-3 triumph. The Tigers gave fans more to cheer about the following night against APSU. Martinez had a career night with four hits, but it was McClain's one-out single in the bottom of the 13th inning that plated Wilson with the game-win-ning run that gave Memphis a 5-4 win. With a two-game win streak under its belt, and
wins in four of its last fi ve contests, Memphis welcomed Houston to town for a critical league series. The Tigers held on to the eighth and fi nal spot for the 2009 C-USA Tournament, but did not help its cause in the opener. Martin fanned four and allowed just one run in 7.1 innings, while Wil-liams continued his success out of the Memphis bullpen with 1.2 innings of scoreless relief. How-ever, the U of M offense was never able to capi-talize on scoring chances, going 0-for-6 in RBI opportunities and 0-for-13 with runners on base. Five of Memphis’ eight runners left on base were stranded in scoring position in a 1-0 loss. The two teams locked into another pitcher’s duel in game two, with both side’s holding the oth-er scoreless through the fi rst six innings. Houston took a 1-0 lead in the seventh and it looked as if they would end up in the same fashion as game one—a 1-0 Houston win. But Memphis answered
quickly and senior Chris Newsom's two-runtriple in the seventh innings gave Memphisthe go-ahead run. The Tigers tacked on a third run and Barnes then held off the board for a 3-1 win to tie the series. For the fourth consecu-tive C-USA weekend, Memphis could not grasp Sunday’s deciding game. This time the Tiger de-fense faltered, committing two errors that resulted in three Cougar’s runs in the eighth inning in an 8-5 loss. Memphis found itself in the same situation for a fi fth-straight league series when it traveled to New Orleans to take on Tulane. McClain extended his hit streak to 17 games with a fi rst-inning triple, but Tulane exploded for seven runs in the third inning to cruise to a 12-4 win. Game two showcased the Tigers’ power potential. Memphis hit three home runs in the game, including a two-run shot by Brett Bowen that proved to be the eventual game-winner in an 8-6, 10-inning triumph. With the se-ries on the line on Sunday, the Tigers battled the Wave in the longest game in Greer Field/Turchin Stadium history. In a game that featured seven home runs, Memphis got a solo shot from Wilson, a three-run blast from Bowen and a grand slam from McClain. But a 12th-inning, walk-off home run gave Tulane a 12-11 win to send the Tigers to its fi fth-straight C-USA series loss of the year. Memphis was then swept in a rain-shortened two-game series at UAB to extend its skid to three games before welcoming Southern Miss into town for the fi nal home weekend of the year. The Tigers made the most of their fi nal run in Millington. Davis got the weekend started on a good note, fanning fi ve in 6.1 innings and Yokley nailed down his 18th career save to carry Mem-phis to a 5-4 win in the series opener. Memphis freshmen made its Senior Day a memorable one for the club’s seniors. Wilson was a home run shy of the cycle and McClain went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI to guide the Tigers to a 16-6 route of the Golden Eagles in game two of the se-ries. Martin stymied the USM offense, holding it to just two hits in seven innings to clinch Memphis’ fi rst Conference USA series win since March 23, 2008. A late-game rally fell short for Memphis on Sunday in a 4-2 loss. After taking two-of-three from Southern Miss, the Tigers couldn’t fi nd their way back to the win column, dropping a one-run loss to Mississippi State, before being swept at No. 20 East Carolina to round out the season at 21-32.

Coach Rock Notches Milestone 100th Win Memphis head coach Daron Schoenrock became the Tigers’ fi fth coach to reach the 100-win mile-stone on Sun., Feb. 22, when the Tigers edged Kansas 2-1 in the fi nal game of the 2009 Service Academies Classic. Schoenrock, who is 100-137 in four-plus years at the U of M, led the Tigers to 32 wins in 2006 and 36 victories in ’07. His 116 wins in a Memphis uniform is the fourth-most wins on the Tigers’ all-time coaching wins list.
Tiger Freshmen Earn C-USA Weekly Honors After leading the Memphis offense in the Ti-gers’ fi rst C-USA series victory of the year, fresh-man infi elder Jacob was tabbed Conference USA Hitter of the Week by the league offi ce on May 11. For the weekend, Wilson hit .455 (5-for-11) with a team-best 1.000 slugging percentage, a .500 on-base percentage, 11 total bases, fi ve runs scored and four RBI. The freshman collected two singles, a double, a triple and homered to help
Memphis to its third series over Southern Miss in four years. He hit safely in all three games, includ-ing falling a home run shy of the cycle in a 3-for-4 effort in Saturday’s 16-6 series-clinching win. Just one outing into his collegiate career, Mem-phis relief pitcher Heith Hatfi eld earned Confer-ence USA honors, being tabbed the C-USA Pitch-er of the Week for the opening weekend of 2009 action. A freshman from Bartlett, Tenn., Hatfi eld had one of the most dominant collegiate debuts in Memphis baseball history in preserving a 2-1 win over Kansas on Sunday, the Tigers’ second win over the Jayhawks in three days at the Service Academies Classic. The righthander struck out eight batters and held KU to just one hit in three innings of relief to earn a save in his fi rst outing in the collegiate ranks. Hatfi eld notched a Tiger record by fanning four batters in the eighth inning. He retired six of the fi rst eight batters he faced on strikes.
What a Difference a Year MakesAfter opening the year with an inexperienced lineup that showcased just 79 NCAA Division I starts on Opening Day in 2008, Schoenrock put a much more experienced bunch on the fi eld when the Tigers opened the season on Feb. 20. This year’s starting crew had a combined 217 more starts than last year’s starting nine. Here’s a look at the 2008 starting lineup versus the proposed starters for the 2009 season opener.2008 2009Name Starts Name StartsFr., Chad Zurcher 0 Jr., Shawn Ablett 0So., Tyler Huelsing 22 Jr., Trey Wiedman 55Jr., Brett Bowen 0 So., Chad Zurcher 52So., Trey Wiedman 5 Fr., Jacob Wilson 0Fr., Robby Graham 0 Sr., Brett Bowen 52Fr., Adam McClain 0 R-Fr., Adam McClain 13Jr., Cole Shelton 0 Fr., Drew Martinez 0Jr., Eric Farrell 11 Jr., Tyler Huelsing 72Sr., Chris Kirkland 41 Sr., Cole Shelton 52Total 79 Total 296
It’s All Academic for MartinJunior pitcher Brennon Martin earned a pair of scholastic honors at the close of the 2009 sea-son. The Memphis southpaw was named to the
CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV First Team on May 7 and followed that up with a selection on the 2009 Conference USA All-Academic Team. Martin, who graduated on May 9, with a 3.46 GPA in management, joins Ben Grisham (2007), Michael Murray (2007), Neil Schenk (2008) and Trey Wiedman (2008) as the fi ve Tigers to be honored on this team.
Friday Night LightsMemphis was more successful on Friday nights than any other day this year. The Tigers won their fi rst four Friday night games and won eight of 13 series openers. Memphis hits .296 and has outscored its opponents 78-75 in series-opening contests. On the mound the Tigers collected 99 strikeouts and fi ve saves on Friday. Eleven of Brennon Martin’s 13 appearances this year have come on Friday night. The Tiger ace won fi ve of his fi rst six series-opening decisions.
Tiger Duo Takes Home C-USA All-Freshman HonorsUniversity of Memphis centerfi elder Drew Marti-nez and second baseman Adam McClain were both named to the 2009 C-USA All-Freshman Team, marking the fi rst time Memphis has earned multiple All-Freshman honors. The duo joins the likes of current Toledo Mud Hens (AAA affi liate of Detroit Tigers) shortstop Brent Dlugach (2002), Quad Cities River Bandits (A affi liate of St. Louis Cardinals) pitcher Scott McGregor (2006) and New England Patriots All-Pro kicker Stephen Gostkowski (2003) as the program’s fi ve all-time C-USA All-Freshman selections. Martinez had a standout rookie campaign, leading the Tigers with a .309 batting average, a .392 on-base percentage and 60 hits. The CBHS product is the fi rst freshman to lead a Memphis team in hitting since Shane Young hit .413 to lead the 1981 Tigers. McClain started in all 46 games he has ap-peared in, making 37 starts at second and nine in leftfi eld. The redshirt freshman hit .288 and fi n-ished second on the team with a .471 slugging percentage, 92 total bases, six home runs (four in C-USA play) and three triples.

Tigers in the Final PollsYear Record Collegiate Baseball Baseball America 1976 32-11 22 - 1978 40-9 9 -1981 48-11-1 11 181994 52-11 23 23
Dave AndersonAnderson, who was noted as an All-American, All-District and a First team All-Metro selection in 1981, set what was then the single-season record in hits (87), RBI (61), home runs (14) and total bases (153). His 39 stolen bases are tied with K.K. Chalmers and Rene White for the single-season record. Anderson, who came to Memphis in 1978 as a quarterback, was a two-year let-
terwinner on the baseball diamond, before being drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers as the 22nd overall pick 1st round of the 1981 amateur draft. After a pair of all-star seasons in minors, Anderson was called up to the Majors. He spent 10 years in the big leagues, playing for the Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants. He won a World Championship while with the Dodgers in 1988. In his career, Anderson was a .242 hitter, with 143 RBI, 73 doubles, 49 stolen bases and 19 home runs. After fi nishing his playing career, Anderson pursued a managing career in the Minor Leagues. He managed the James-town Jammers, Lakeland Tigers, Jacksonville Suns and Toledo Mudhens. He earned New York-Penn League Manager of the Year honors in 1994 and was named the Southern League All-Star manager and Double A American League All-Star Game manager in 1998.
Anderson returned to his alma mater in 2001, to take the reigns of a program that had suffered four losing seasons in fi ve years, including a 15-37 cam-paign in 2000. He quickly went to work and the Tigers produced by going 34-24 in his fi rst year. The 26-game turnaround was the best in NCAA Division I. Anderson went on to win 104 games from 2001-2004.
Bobby KilpatrickThe most successful coach in Mem-phis baseball history, Coach Bobby Kilpatrick served the University of Memphis as the head baseball coach for 21 years. Under his tu-telage Memphis won 653 games, including a pair of Metro Confer-ence titles in 1976 and 1978. He led Memphis to NCAA Regional appearances in 1976, 1978 and 1981. Both the `78 and `81 teams advanced to the Regional Champi-onship game.
Kilpatrick took a struggling Memphis program and turned it into a national power as 33 former Tigers were drafted in the Coach K Era. He was the fi rst Tiger coach to post consecutive 30-win seasons in 1975 and 76 and then became the fi rst to guide Memphis to a 40-win season when his 1978 squad went 40-9. In his tenure as Memphis’ skipper, Kilpatrick led the Tigers to 14 30-win campaigns and 20 winning seasons.
Coach Kilpatrick stepped down from his head coaching post after the 1992 season. His legacy continued as the Tigers went on to advance to the Great Midwest Conference tournament championship in each of the next three seasons. Memphis claimed the GMC crown in 1993 and 1995. At the con-clusion of his coaching career Coach K remained heavily involved in the baseball program, as well as eight other Olympic sports as the University’s spring sports coordinator.
Kilpatrick also served as the Special Events Coordinator for Memphis, serv-ing as the tournament director for three different NCAA Basketball First and Second Round tournaments and one NCAA Women’s Regional Final.
Mark LittleA native of Edwardsville, Illinois, Mark Little came to the Tiger baseball program and rewrote the career hitting record book in just two sea-sons. Little, who was drafted in the 8th round by the Texas Rangers after an All-American cam-paign at Memphis in 1994, still holds the Mem-phis baseball career record for batting average (.424) and single season records for hits (104), runs scored (93), RBI (86), home runs (21), slugging percentage (.816) and total bases (195). He is still tied for the single game record for home runs in a game, three, a feat he ac-
complished against Dayton in 1994. He also still holds the school record for longest hitting streak (24 games). Behind the power of Little, the 1994 Tigers advanced to the NCAA tournament, falling one game short of the College World Series. Little was named to the 1994 NCAA All-Region team and was named the Great Midwest Conference MVP. After being drafted in 1994, Little spent six seasons in minor league baseball, including one sea-son in Memphis in the PCL, before being called up to St. Louis. Little then spent two more years with Memphis in the PCL before playing the next four years in MLB with three different teams (Colorado, Arizona and the New York Mets). Most recently Little played 32 games for the Cleveland Indians in 2004 and has played in over 150 games in Major League Baseball. He was an outfi elder for the Albuquerque Isotopes, a AAA affi liate of the Florida Marlins, before retiring in 2006.
Mike PaxtonPaxton was a four-year letterwinner under Head Coach Bobby Kilpatrick, whose jersey was retired last season. In his stint in the Blue and Gray, the right hander went 22-11 and struck out over 200 batters. The 22 wins he posted on the mound ranks sixth all-time on Memphis’ career pitching wins list, while his 208 strikeouts and 259 innings of work are both ranked fi fth. The Memphis, native recorded 19 complete games as Tiger, including going the dis-tance in one of the program’s 11 one-hitters to de-
feat Millikan College 2-1 in 1975. Paxton put up two of the program’s top-fi ve single-season ERA totals when he fi nished with a 1.87 (fourth on Memphis’ single-season list) in 1974 and then followed that by posting a 1.98 ERA in 1975. He led the Tigers in innings pitched in ‘74 and then paced the staff in innings (67.0) and strikeouts (68) in the ‘75 season. He was inducted into the M-Club Hall of Fame in 1982.
Paxton was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 1975 amateur draft and worked his way through the farm system. He made his Major League debut in a Red Sox uniform against the Minnesota Twins on May 25, 1977. As a rookie, he went on to post a 10-5 record, with a 3.58 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 108 innings of work. He made 12 starts in 29 appearances. His strongest outing came on July 28, 1977 when he tossed a 12-0 complete-game shut-out against the Milwaukee Brewers.
He was traded to the Cleveland Indians prior to the 1978 season and had perhaps the most productive season of his four-year career. He worked 191 innings and went 12-11 with 96 strikeouts in 27 starts. In his 27 starts, Paxton went the distance fi ve times. He was dominant, posting a pair of complete-game shutouts in the 1978 schedule. Paxton accomplished and unusual feat on July 21, 1978 when he struck out four batters in the fi fth in-ning of an 11-0 win against the Seattle Mariners.
Paxton fi nished his career in 1980 with the Indians. For his Major League stint, he went 30-24 in 99 appearances with 63 starts and 10 complete games. He struck out 230 hitters and posted a 4.71 lifetime ERA.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.– Adam Amar homered twice and drove in three, but a four-run seventh inning by Michigan sent the Tigers into the elimination round of the 2007 NCAA Nashville Regional with a 10-7 loss. After a two-run blast off the leftfi eld foul pole by Joey Lieberman cut Memphis’ defi cit to 5-4, the Tigers gave away three unearned tallies to fall behind 9-4 in the sev-enth. Amar brought Memphis to within three runs when he launched his second homer of the afternoon--a lined drive over the left centerfi eld wall– to make it a 9-6 ballgame. Memphis rallied for a run in the ninth and brought the tying run to the plate, but was unable to complete the comeback. In its fi rst NCAA Regional contest since 1994, Memphis jumped on the board fi rst as Amar quickly jumped on a Zach Putnam fastball, sending it over the 35-foot leftfi eld wall and onto the roof of Memorial Gymnasium. The Tigers went up 2-0 in the third when Michael Murray drove Tyler Huelsing in with a single through the left side. Tiger starter Scott McGregor (5-4) ran into trouble. The Wolverine offense touched the right-hander for three runs in the inning and never trailed from that point on. Lieberman’s home run was the 27th of his career as a Tiger, while Amar produced his milestone 30th round-tripper. The senior is second all-time at Memphis in home runs. Murray, Bill Moss and Amar had two hits each. Murray extended his hit streak to a career-long 21 games. Huels-ing was the leader of the offense, banging out a team-high three singles and scoring two runs. Putnam went eight innings and fanned seven to lead Michigan to its 40th win of the year, while McGregor sur-rendered fi ve runs on eight hits in fi ve innings. He struck out two. Dusty Davis came on in relief of McGregor to strike out four in two frames.

NASHVILLE, Tenn– Austin Peay opened the contest with a six-run fi rst and then plated six runs in the fi fth en route to eliminating Memphis from the NCAA Championships Nashville Regional with an 18-7 decision. The Tigers, who posted an improved record for the second straight season fi nish the year 36-27--the most wins by a Memphis club since 1994. Memphis trailed 9-3 through three-and-a-half innings before inclement weather forced a 3:28 rain delay. A rejuvenated Tiger club came out in the fourth, and highlighted by two-run homer to right off the bat of Adam Amar, cut the defi cit to just two runs at 9-7. Memphis was unable to score again. Three APSU pitchers held Memphis scoreless over the fi nal fi ve innings, while the Govs posted a six-run fi fth. Austin Peay tacked on a run in the sixth and pinch hitter Tyler Bullock launched a two-run blast in the eighth for the 18-7 fi nal. Tiger starter Ben Grisham struggled early and never was able to settle in as APSU touched him up for six runs on fi ve hits in the opening frame. Grisham took the loss. An RBI-single by Chris Kirkland followed by a two-run double that hit 30 feet high on Hawkins Field’s 35-foot leftfi eld wall, made it a 6-3 ballgame after two innings of play, but the defi cit proved to be too much for the Tigers in the end. Memphis banged out 14 hits in the contest. Amar and Kirkland had three hits each. Murray joined the duo with two RBI. Murray fi nishes his Tiger career with a 22-game hit streak--just one game shy of the program record of 23 straight games produced by Mark Little in 1994. Amar fi nished the Nashville Regional 5-for-9 with three homers. He hit 31 round-trippers in his career. The 18 runs by Austin Peay represents the highest offensive output against Memphis in NCAA Regional competition, topping the 17 runs scored by Minnesota in a 17-4 NCAA West Regional tilt in 1976.
Memphis’ 36 wins was four more than the Tigers posted in 2006, marking the second straight season Daron Schoenrock led the U of M to an improvement in the win column.

STILLWATER, Okla.– Memphis picked up where it left off, and advanced in the NCAA Midwest Regional with a convincing 14-9 triumph over Northwestern State.

Mark Bland drove him in, and Nate Weimer and Jeff Ince later made
it 3-0 with RBI hits. The Tigers then extended the lead to fi ve runs on Hoekstra’s two-run double.

David Hernandez capped a four-run second inning with a three-run blast, while John Thetford scattered 10 hits in a complete-game win, as the Tigers stayed alive with an 8-3 triumph over James Madison in an elimination matchup of the NCAA East Regional Playoffs. The longball was Memphis State’s weapon of choice in the elimination game. After Hernandez’s homer, catcher Richard Webster connected with a two-run shot in the third, and fi rst baseman Gary Williams lifted a solo homer over the wall in the fourth. Webster, who fi nished the game with three hits, three RBI and a pair of runs scores, drove in the fi nal run of the contest on a one-out single in the fourth.

Both teams recorded 15 hits, but Memphis State again could not fi nd the clutch hit, leaving 10 men on base as they fell short of the NCAA College World Series in an 11-5 loss to South Carolina. USC got two home runs in the second—the fi rst be-ing a two-out solo homer from Chris Boyle. Two batters later, Robby Vollmer blasted a two-run homer to give the Gamecocks a 3-0 lead. A two-run shot by Dave Anderson gave Memphis State its fi rst two runs in the third, but a trio of South Carolina runs in the fourth pushed the lead out to 6-2. Another two-run home run extended USC’s lead to 8-2 in the fi fth. MSU plated a pair in the sixth, but another three-run rally by the Gamecocks put the game away, 11-4. Anderson and Billy Hellums paced Memphis with three hit apiece. Lanny Fowler was the losing pitcher.

AUBURN, Ala.– Auburn used an eight-run rally in the second inning to move past Memphis State, 14-10, and advance to the winner’s bracket game against North Carolina. The Tigers had led the nation with a .361 and had beaten Auburn three out of four times in the regular season. Centerfi elder James Davis led Memphis with a 3-for-5 effort and fi ve RBI. Tiger pitcher Mike Graves took the loss—his fi rst of the season.

Memphis State starter Blair Gilbert tossed a four-hit com-plete game gem to pick up his 11th win of the year as MSU bounced East Tennessee St. from the South Regional Playoffs with a 5-0 win. Ahead 1-0, the Tigers posted three runs in the top of the fi fth inning to open the game up. Roy Henderson, Roy Clark and Jeff Robinson each had two hits to lead MSU.

AUBURN, Ala.– Richard Webster scored the game-winning run in the top of the ninth inning and John Thetford then worked out of a jam in the bottom of ninth to preserve the win for then, Memphis State. The rally started in the eighth inning, when down 5-3, Alan Robinson ripped a two-out double to centerfi eld to plate Jeff Robinson and ignited a two-run frame and knot the score at 5-5.

Terry Pressgrove’s two-run blast highlighted a three-run third inning that proved to be the deciding factor in an 8-6 MSU triumph over North Carolina. The win forced a second championship matchup between the two teams to decide who would represent the South Region in the 1978 NCAA College World Series. Tiger’s starter Charlie Lea hurled 7.2 strong innings to pick up the win, while Allen Robinson, Jeff Robinson and Jeff Granger each had two hits. Robinson and Granger each had RBI-hits to put two runs on the board for Memphis State in the fi rst inning, but Lloyd Brewer’s two-run shot put UNC ahead 3-2 in the second.

Memphis jumped out to an 8-3 lead, but North Carolina broke an 8-8 tie with three runs in the eighth to claim the South Region title and advance to the 1978 NCAA College World Series. Memphis fi nished the season with a 40-9 mark. Memphis crossed single tallies in the fi rst and third in-nings and then went up 6-3 with a four-run fourth inning. Two more runs were plated in the fi fth to give the Tigers what looked to be an insurmountable 8-3 cushion in the
fi fth. But UNC used two MSU errors to rally for fi ve runs over the next two innings to tie the contest and 8-8. Memphis rallied for a run in the top of the ninth, on a solo homer by James Davis, but that would be all the Tigers offense could muster in the fi nal frame. UNC pitcher Greg Norris got the win to improve to 14-0 in his collegiate career.

Danny Parks struck out seven in a two-hit shutout to lead Memphis State to a 6-0 opening-round win over Minnesota in the NCAA West Regionals in Tempe, Ariz. Parks worked 5.2 perfect innings before a defensive error broke up his perfect-game bid. He held Minnesota hitless through 8.2 innings. Each of the Tigers’ fi rst fi ve batters reached base safely as they jumped out to a 3-0 lead after one inning. A solo homer by Ron Merritt made it 4-1 in the third and Ron McNeely’s RBI-triple made it 5-0 cushion in the sixth. Robert Reed’s solo shot in the seventh capped the scoring for the Tigers. Reed and McNeely each had three hits.

Two days after shutting the Golden Gophers out in the fi rst game of the NCAA West Regionals, Minnesota retaliated to eliminate the Tigers in a 17-4 decision.
Minnesota touched up Memphis State starter Dusty Farmer for three runs in the fi rst inning on a triple, home run and two singles.
The big blow came in the third inning. The Gophers sent 10 batters to the plate and posted fi ve runs on six hits.
Memphis State got on the board with a single tally in the fourth, but Minnesota responded with three in the fi fth, one in the six and seventh and two more in the eight to take a 17-1 lead.
The Tigers battled for three in the ninth for the 17-4 fi nal.

After calling Nat Buring Stadium home for 36 season, construction and renovations have been completed for Tigers baseball’s new home–FedExPark. Thanks to a $3 million gift from FedEx Corp. (NYSE:FDX), construction redesigned the former Nat Buring Stadium that housed Memphis Tiger baseball since 1972. In addition to the new scoreboard that was put in place in January 2008, the redesign includes a new dressing facility, indoor practice facility, train-ing room, players lounge, locker roms, coaches offi ces, dugouts, grandstand, concession areas, press box and a private suite which will aid players, teams and fans with their game day experience.
The dressing facility will include locker rooms for both Tiger coaches and players, offi ce and meet-ing space, a player’s lounge, indoor pitching and batting cages, as well as a direct entrance into the Tiger dugout and fi eld at game time. The grandstand area will feature an expanded press area for media covering the events, as well as newly-constructed restrooms and concession stands. The press box will have private booths for both radio and television broadcasts, as well as working media and event management areas. A grand entrance way has been constructed at the main entrance to the ballpark from the leftfi eld parking lots. Construction setup began on Feb. 16–two days before 2009 Opening Day. Construction crews
took over the Tigers’ home, forcing them to play the 2009 season at three different balparks in the Memphis area. The Tigers called Millington’s USA Stadium its home for the season, but hosted games at AutoZone Park and Gagliano Stadium. The stadium redesign is the latest of several upgrades to the Memphis baseball facility. On March 27, 1991, the Memphis Athletic Depart-ment ushered in a new era–night baseball. The Tigers hosted Mississippi State University in the program’s fi rst-ever night game. The Tigers played three times under the lights in 1991. While the ballpark’s surroundings were reno-vated, the playing fi eld remains the same. Noted for its cozy dimensions, it has often proved to be a pitchers’ park when the wind blows in from left fi eld. However, when the wind blows out to left, hitters would think differently. The dimensions down the lines are 318 and 317 feet in left and right fi elds, respectively, 360 in the alleys and 379 to center. Several other renovations have taken place since the stadium opened in 1972. Besides the 1991 addition of lights to the stadium, a new backstop was installed at the beginning of the 1994 season to allow better visibility for the fans. Chairback seats were also installed in the grand-stand area for better comfort and enjoyment of Tiger baseball games. During the summer of 1994, the playing surface of the infi eld was overhauled, giving Nat Buring Sta-dium one of the best natural grass playing surfaces in the South. In the winter of 1999, new dugouts were constructed. In the spring of 2004, the entire playing fi eld was leveled out and resurfaced for better playing conditions. A new wall was added to the list of stadium improvements in the winter of 2005. Prior to the 2006 campaign, fi eld turf was installed around the batter’s circle to help maintain the fi eld’s aesthetic in the high-traffi c area. FedExPark replaces Nat Buring Stadium, where Memphis compiled a 667-295-1 record in 36 seasons. Following the 1971 season, the Tigers moved to the University’s Park Avenue Campus from Tobey Park, located at the corner of Hollywood and Central. The team also played games at Blues
Stadium, which in now known as the former Tim McCarver Stadium.

The fi rst game played at the former Nat Buring Stadium was on March 14, 1972, when the Tigers defeated Mississippi State 11-2 in game one of a doubleheader. Memphis went on to sweep the Bulldogs with a 4-2 victory in the evening game. The Tigers were also victorious in the fi nal game at Nat Buring, outlasting ECU 7-5 on May 17, 2008. Nat Buring Stadium hosted two Missouri Valley Conference Tournaments (1972, 1973), two Metro Conference Tournaments (1976, 1977) and the Great Midwest Conference Tournament in 1993. Memphis recorded winning records at home in 33 of its 36 seasons at “The Nat”, including posting a program-best 32-1 mark in 1981.

Nat Buring Stadium
Named after Nat Buring, a generous donor to the University of Memphis athletic program and owner of Buring Food Packing, Nat Buring Sta-dium served as home for Memphis baseball for 36 years. Since its opening on March 14, 1972, the “Nat” provided a fantastic setting for top-notch NCAA Division I baseball. Memphis called Nat Buring Stadium home for the next 36 seasons, racking up over 650 wins and averaging over 18 home wins per season. The Tigers’ most successful string at “The Nat” was from 1975-78. Under former skipper Bobby Kilpatrick, Memphis won over 20 games in each of the four seasons.

The 2010 season marks the 10th year of a special cooperative between the University of Memphis baseball program and the Memphis Redbirds. After calling AutoZone Park home for fi ve games in 2009, head coach Daron Schoenrock and his club will play just one contest at the downtown ballpark in 2010–the annual battle with Ole Miss on April 13. The relationship began on August 20, 2001, when former Tiger head coach Dave Anderson and his squad gathered in front of AutoZone Park in downtown Memphis to reveal what U of M fans had anticipated for weeks. Tiger baseball would begin a relationship with the Memphis Redbirds that would allow the U of M to share the minor league stadium that many have deemed the best ballpark in all of minor league baseball. Accompanied by U of M Athletic Director R.C. Johnson, Redbirds Co-Founder Dean Jernigan and President of the Memphis Redbirds’ Baseball Foundation Rita Sparks, Anderson fi nally outlined his AutoZone plans at the late-August press confer-ence. “This is a great day for our baseball program,” Anderson said. “AutoZone Park is one of the fi nest baseball parks in the country and now we can tell all of our recruits that they will be playing on the same fi eld as the Mark McGwires and Albert Pujols. They’ll be dressing in a state-of-the-art clubhouse and playing in a big-league park.” “This is indeed an important day for our baseball program,” Johnson told reporters. “It is important for us because it demonstrates that our program is headed in the right direction and that the Memphis business community is behind us.” Memphis played just one game at AutoZone Park in the 2001 season. The result was a 3-1 win over Ole Miss for its fi rst win at the minor league ball park.
After the Redbirds released their 2002 home schedule, Anderson announced that Memphis was scheduled to play 14 home games at the minor league facility.
Memphis’ second season of play at the ‘Zone saw the Tigers host conference series against USF, UAB and then-C-USA newcomer East Carolina. The Tigers also hosted non-conference opponents Middle Tennessee State, Southeast Missouri State, and SEC rival Ole Miss. The Tigers’ second season saw the club post a 3-10 record at AutoZone. A pair of conference wins over USF and a non-league triumph over Southeast Missouri St. highlighted the 13-game schedule. The Tigers produced one of their more dramatic wins in recent memory during the 2003 campaign at AutoZone Park. Designated hitter Ryan Martin hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to defeat Mississippi State 8-7. Memphis went 2-4 in games at the minor league facility last season also winning its C-USA opener 3-2 against Louisville with a ninth-inning rally. The Tigers called the ‘Zone home for fi ve con-tests in 2004. Year four got off to a rough start, with Ole Miss handing the Tigers one of the worst losses in history. Memphis then bounced back to defeat Austin Peay, 5-2, in a game that was origi-nally slated to be played at Nat Buring Stadium. A dramatic 6-5 win over league foe No. 18 East Carolina highlighted the Tigers’ fi ve-game schedule at the downtown ball park as they fi nished the year with a 2-3 mark at AutoZone. Year fi ve showcased just one contest at Au-toZone. The Tigers battled No. 22 Ole Miss, but fell short in a 6-5 decision. The downtown park remained unkind to Schoen-rock and his crew in 2006 as the Tigers losing streak at AutoZone extended to fi ve games after an 8-4 loss to Ole Miss, followed by a 5-3 setback to Mississippi State. The 2007 schedule at AutoZone Park was the Tigers’ most successful one to date. Memphis went 3-1 and claimed the AutoZone Classic title in its four games in the downtown gem. The Tigers’ lone loss came in the last of the four tilts, when the 13th-
ranked Ole Miss Rebels defeated them 10-2. The three wins tied the Tigers’ most wins in a season at AutoZone Park and represented the most U of M victories since the 2002 season. Two games were scheduled for AutoZone Park in 2008, but due to weather, the Tigers were able to get just one of those contests in. However, it proved to be a thriller as Memphis defeated Mississippi State 9-8 in 10 innings to end a nine-game skid. The Tigers struggled at AutoZone Park in 2009, going 1-4. In its opener at the AAA gem, Memphis took a one-run lead into the ninth inning only to see 15th-ranked Ole Miss get a game-tying two-out RBI single in the ninth and a two-out RBI-single in the top of the 10th in a 7-6 loss. Memphis evened its slate with a convincing league win over UCF in the series opener, but dropped game two and watched the Knights blast three ninth-inning home runs in a 5-3 loss in Sunday’s series fi nale. Things at AutoZone did not get any easier for Memphis in its fi nale game at the park versus Mississippi State. The Bulldogs got a game-winning solo blast in the eighth to down the Tigers 6-5. Memphis is 13-25 all-time in its nine years of action at AutoZone Park.

C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations.
GOVERNANCE Along with the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC, Conference USA is one of the sev-en conferences having signifi cant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The Presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors. R. Gerald Turner of SMU currently serves as chair of the Board.
A PROUD HISTORY; A PROMISING FUTURE Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commis-sioner on April 24, 1995 in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and after nine years, relocated to the cur-rent offi ce in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s fi rst commissioner. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. After celebrating its 10th Anniversary during the 2004-05 season, C-USA began a new chapter in 2005-06 when its current membership came together to form the new look of the league. Since its formation, C-USA has established a strong foundation, an identity and a history that re-fl ects the league’s national presence. Fourteen years of remarkable history has reinforced the league’s position in collegiate athletics, setting the course for the next decade and beyond.

or almost a cen-tury the University of
Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the
city of Memphis, the state of Tennessee and the surround-
ing Mid-South region. From its inception as a nor-mal school dedicated to the education of public school teachers, to its role today as an educa-tor of technologically-savvy graduates who face a complex world, the University of Memphis has always fulfilled its current mission while looking forward to and planning for its future. Exceptional students from Tennessee, from every other state in the nation and from al-most 100 countries around the world choose to attend the University of Memphis. They come here on the recommendation of their major professors at European universities; they come here to study subjects that are offered nowhere else; they come to study alongside men and women who are recognized and respected throughout the academic and scientific com-munities as foremost in their fields. Ever forward-looking, the University of Memphis is poised to enter one of its most his-toric and productive periods. From the faculty and staff we have in place to our alumni and benefac-tors, our “people assets” have never been more willing, able and generous in their efforts to build an academic environment that makes a life-long impact on the young minds at the U of M.

C. Johnson came aboard in February of
1996 and immediately set forth in bringing U
of M Tiger athletics into national prominence.
Over the last 13 years, the dynamic administrator has built Tiger Athletics into a nationally-recognized program that has been to five bowl games in the last six years and played for the Men’s Basketball National Championship title in 2007-08. In addition, for the last 11 straight years, donations to the department have continued to rise, and on June 30, 2009, a record-setting $7 million was announced by the Tiger Scholarship Fund. Also in the last six years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 14 total C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. The men’s basketball program has garnered five regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and four C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), while the women’s soccer program claimed back-to-back-to-back league championships in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which benefits nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, a weight room and turf practice field for Tiger Football, a redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium that is currently underway, the completed golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and the Anfernee Hardaway Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball practice facility, which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 37 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative long-term contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. Last fall, the U of M entered into a five-year, $11.3 million partnership with Nike to provide shoes, apparel and equipment for all Tiger athletic teams. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 50 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the fall 2007 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2008 and spring 2009, 335 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and 12 had a 4.0 for the year and 20 others had a 4.0 either in the fall or spring. Nine teams logged a semester average of 3.0 or higher for the 2007 fall semester, and for the last four straight semesters, the athletic department as a whole has maintained a 2.8 GPA . In May 2008, 44 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. Johnson came to Memphis after serving as athletic director at Temple from 1994-1995. A long-time administrator, Johnson also served as an athletic director at Miami University (1988-1994) and Eastern Illinois (1980-88), and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. An native of Ottawa, Ill., Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; five grandchildren and one great grandson.

he University of Memphis athletic
training staff is second-to-none when it
comes to ensuring that U of M student-athletes receive quality care in the areas of athletic injury, rehabilitation and preventative care. With fully-staffed athletic training rooms located at the Murphy Athletic Complex, the Larry O. Finch Center and the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, Memphis student-athletes can be assured of receiving the best medical attention and rehabilitation available. The Murphy Athletic Complex training room was redesigned and reconstructed as part of the $6 million renovation of the Park Avenue Campus in 2003. The athletic training facility contains an in-ground aquatic rehabilitation pool, allowing athletic trainers to work on rehabilitating injuries without having the student-athlete support his/her own body weight. The athletic training room also contains doctor examination rooms, storage areas and the latest in rehabilitation equipment. The athletic training staff uses a comprehensive approach to the injury care and wellness of student-athletes by utilizing state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment with the latest methods in the care and prevention of injuries. The athletic training staff is surrounded by many qualified and generous team doctors who are available to the many student-athletes at the University of Memphis. Dr. Barney Freeman, Dr. Fred Azar and Dr. Barry Phillips of The Campbell Clinic are directly responsible for the orthopedic needs of the Tiger football team, while Dr. Thomas Meriwether and Dr. Arthur Franklin serve as the team physicians. Tiger student-athletes are fortunate to have the two largest privately-owned hospital systems in the world located in Memphis. Baptist Hospital and Methodist Hospital offer the finest in healthcare to area residents and handle the care of Memphis student-athletes. The athletic training staff is one support group that the athletic teams cannot do without. They are responsible for staffing all practices and games as well as handling the day-to-day rehabilitation of injured or post-surgery student-athletes. The goal of the sports medicine department is not only to care for the injuries, but also to assist the student-athletes in preventing injuries from occurring.

ead Strength and Conditioning
Coach Mike Stark oversees all workouts
at the Murphy Athletic Complex. The Tiger football, baseball, softball, track and field, cross country, and men’s and women’s soccer teams work out at the Murphy Complex. A former U of M football player, Stark has worked with over 40 NFL players, including the Carolina Panthers’ DeAngelo Williams, the New England Patriots’ Stephen Gostkowski, the Cleveland Browns’ Brandon McDonald, the Cincinnati Bengals’ Clinton McDonald and the San Francisco 49ers’ All-Pro receiver Isaac Bruce. In addition to the Murphy Athletic Complex weight room, there is a weight facility in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse that was refurbished in the spring of 2005. That weight room benefits women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s tennis and men’s and women’s golf. Former Marshall strength and conditioning coach Mike Jenkins was hired in June 2008 to assist Stark and oversee the Fieldhouse strength facility. The men’s basketball team utilizes a weight room that is located in its practice facility, the Larry O. Finch Center. Assistant Strength Coach Richard Hogans is charged with the workouts of Tiger basketball. Construction is set to begin this spring on a new 13,000-square-foot weight facility on the back of the Murphy Athletic Complex. The new facility will be used exclusively by the Tiger Football team, and will be furnished with state-of-the-art weight training equipment. Once the addition is complete, Tiger athletic squads will have four fully-equipped weight rooms for meeting their full training potential.
WEIGHT ROOM HIGHLIGHTS
• The current 10,500-square-foot varsity weight room is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware so that groups of up to 75 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effectiveness and effi ciency.
• Workouts are designed and supervised by one or more of the Strength and Conditioning staff’s certifi ed specialists, and each student-athlete’s individual progress is projected via a computerized database.
• The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, multi-joint movements with fundamental principles: exercise techniques are simplifi ed and performed on an alternating heavy/explosive basis in order to maximize training effects while minimizing teaching and training time (as well as fatigue). Performance based fi tness and work quality are the bottom-line objective.
• Coach Mike Stark developed the Iron Tiger program at Memphis, which tests power, speed and strength.

ATHLETIC COMPLEX• The University of Memphis Murphy Athletic
Complex is located approximately one mile south of the institution’s main campus and serves as the home and training facility for many of the Tiger athletic teams.
• Opened in 1971, the Murphy Complex, the first of its kind in the Southeast, offers the Tiger football team the ability to practice outdoors on four 100-yard grass fields. If weather conditions are less than favorable, the team can move indoors to the turf room and workouts can continue.
• A spacious locker room for the football team includes such amenities as steam and sauna rooms as well as in-house television and stereo systems. Large equipment rooms, training rooms and weight rooms are available for all Tiger teams that work out at the Murphy Complex.
• The Murphy Complex underwent some major changes and renovations in 2003. The renovations were part of a $6 million facelift given to the Murphy Complex, giving Tiger student-athletes a state-of-the-art training facility.
• The renovation of the Murphy Complex included numerous areas for team use. The 25,000-square-foot addition houses a new locker room for the football squad. It also includes a theater-style football team meeting room, offensive and defensive meeting rooms and individual meeting rooms for position coaches.
• The renovated training room has examination rooms for team doctors, rehabilitation and taping areas and an in-ground aquatic pool for rehabilitating injuries.
• The equipment room was renovated with an additional laundry room to ease the burden of taking care of the equipment needs of the football, track, baseball, softball and soccer teams.
• Additional locker rooms were added for the football staff, women’s soccer team and visiting teams competing at the track and field and baseball facilities. A media interview room, video room and storage room were also a part of the renovation project.

n March 2002, vast improvements were
beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time,
Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff after spending the previous
10 years at Austin Peay State University. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two (which is now four) special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newly-renovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of eight, while also utilizing 20 tutors, two academic interns, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance/certification. The academic services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising. Further detail about the services and programs offered by CAAS are found on the website, http://www.memphis.edu/caas/index.php. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last seven academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of student-athletes made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club, the department semester GPA record has been set, and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious national academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic All-America. Ultimately, the goal of every student-athlete is to graduate. CAAS has continued to set records here as well as 44 student-athletes graduated in May, 2009, encompassing the largest-ever graduation group for the athletics department. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 23 student computer stations, 17 offices and numerous study tables. Four academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earned grade-point averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 student-athletes with the best grade-point average on each team and then the next best group of student-athletes, totaling 30. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester. The fourth and newest award, CAAS Academic Achievement Award, is presented to the student-athlete(s) who has overcome personal hardship but has still worked hard in the classroom.

hen the University of Memphis first fielded a
football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a
nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane, and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. In the fall of 1991, the Highland Hundred Tiger Guard received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. TOM II would serve with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on October 15th of that year. Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke of good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born August 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on November 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on November 22 during a football game against the UCF.

onsidered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace
of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run
deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as
the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis recently realized a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which transformed the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects was the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Also located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studio. Stax became known for “sweet soul music” through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. One of Hi-Records’ premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records’ most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley’s Graceland is one of the five most visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in the United States after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historical Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. The city’s location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting the city. Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation’s largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world’s busiest cargo airport. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day.
