Just when the USC Upstate baseball team’s momentum appeared to have slowed at the end of the 2009 season, the team finished with a remarkable flair, posting seven wins in its final 11 games, including a convincing, pitching-dominated sweep of Campbell, who finished the season with the third-most prolific offense in Division I.

By June, two of the team’s best pitchers, juniors Teddy Fallon and Matt Bran-ham, each heard their name called during the Major League Baseball Draft. It was the first time since 1988 that the Spartans had two players selected in the draft.

So now, as Upstate gets set for its third year of Divison I and Atlantic Sun Confer-ence play, the Spartans will do so looking to improve on a 17-37 overall record and a 7-23 mark in the A-Sun. Of course, they will have a few tools at their dis-posal, making for a silver lining that could lift the Spartans back into the middle of the pack in the A-Sun, as they finished fifth in 2008 before falling to 11th in 2009.

To start with, even though Fallon has left to begin his professional career in the Pittsburgh organization, Branham has decided to return to the Spartanburg campus for his senior season. The team’s ace, Branham set a school-record with 82 strikeouts as a junior. Joining Branham in the rotation will be junior Philip Brannon, a 2006 draft pick by Pittsburgh who is back after shoulder issues robbed him of much of the past two seasons.

Offensively, the Spartans will return senior Jimmy Tanner, who is coming off a summer performance in which he earned Northwoods League All-Star honors. A three-year starter at catcher, Tanner enters the season 20 hits away from becom-ing the eighth player in school history to reach 200 in a career. Joining Tanner are a pair of players that have earned A-Sun All-Freshman Team honors in 2008 honoree, junior Blake Green, a second baseman/outfielder, and 2009 honoree, sophomore Austin Moyer, a first baseman/pitcher.

Add onto that one of the deepest recruiting classes in school history, which in-cludes 15 newcomers, eight of whom will help the Spartans start the 2010 sea-son with the deepest pitching staff in the school’s D-I era.

“We are young,” 13th-year head coach Matt Fincher said. “We have 13 fresh-men and two junior college transfers who have not played on this level. We’ll be playing inexperienced players a great deal throughout the season. Their devel-opment over the course of the season is going to have a direct and immediate impact on how we fare. We are hopeful that we have four or five guys that can develop quickly and can make an impact. I think it bodes well for the future but it could make things interesting this year at times.”

Starting PitchersFincher, now the head coach at Upstate for more than half of its 25 years of baseball, is fond of saying that when the Spartans have success, it starts on the mound. After the team posted a 7.81 ERA in 2009, it’s easy to see his point. The Spartans have looked to bolstered that staff by adding eight new arms and welcoming back Brannon to the fold, who is nearing 100 percent after shoulder surgery last spring.

Branham, a senior from Columbia, S.C., will once again look to lead the Spartan pitching staff. A 47th-round draft pick by the Houston Astros in 2009, Branham has already etched his name in several career record books. Already tied for 10th in school history with 11 career wins, Branham is just 22 strikeouts away from becoming the third player in school history to reach 200 in a career.

With a fastball that touches the low-90s and both a slider and changeup in his arsenal, the 6-5 right-hander will likely once again draw the attention of plenty of scouts this season.

“We’re hopeful that he pitches like he has something to prove,” Fincher said. “He has worked hard to improve his strength and conditioning. I have every belief that he will improve his numbers from last year and that he will be a true front-line guy for us.”

Another pitcher that should draw the attention of pro scouts is Brannon, as the 6-2 right-hander will likely step back into the weekend rotation. Brannon, a 2006 MLB draft pick, posted an 8-0 record in two years at Spartanburg Methodist Col-lege before a shoulder injury took him from the mound. As a junior, he threw three pitches to one batter in his Upstate debut before being shut down and moving on to have surgery. After a lengthy rehab, the Broome High graduate could give the Spartans one of the best 1-2 punches in the A-Sun.

“He is the individual on the staff after Branham that has the most upside,” Fincher said. “We think Phillip is healthy right now. I am very hopeful that he is a No. 2 starter for us. He has experience and has had a lot of success at the junior college level. We think he can be a very good pitcher in our program.”

From the third starter slot to the two weekend slots, the Spartans can go in sev-eral directions, including sophomores Austin Moyer and Ryan Fern and fresh-men Scott DeCecco, Ryan Newell and Gaither Bumgardner.

Moyer, a 5-10 Greensboro, N.C., native, spent most of his freshman season in the weekend rotation, finishing with a 3-7 record in 51 2/3 innings. Moyer posted three quality starts and has an arsenal that features a mid-80s fastball and a solid curveball.

Senior Matt Branham returns to Upstate after being drafted by the Houston Astros in 2009.

Fern, a 6-1 Oviedo, Fla., native, also spent time in the weekend rotation as a fresh-men, finishing with a 1-7 record. He tossed 46 1/3 innings and also appeared seven times in relief, giving him some versatility.

Three freshmen could also factor into the starting rotation, as DeCecco, Newell and Bumgardner, may all get starting experience. DeCecco, a 6-0 New Jersey na-tive, will give the Spartans a varied look, as the left-hander had a monster senior year at Middle Township High School, finishing 7-3, with 101 strikeouts in 48 in-nings. Newell, a 6-3 Marietta, Ga., native played for the East Cobb Braves, one of the best summer league teams in the nation, serving as the team’s ace thanks to his high-80s fastball. He struck out 70 and had a 1.70 ERA as a senior at Marietta High School. Bumgardner wraps up the freshman trio, as the 6-6 Fort Lawn, S.C., native went 8-4 as a senior at Great Falls High School with a 0.61 ERA. With a mid-80s fastball, Bumgardner earned Class A Region III Player of the Year and all-state honors as a senior.

“We have some competition which we didn’t have last year,” Fincher said, “and we can make adjustments as we go through the season. This year, we have our fingers crossed that we have the depth to make adjustments.”

Relief PitchersWith 18 pitchers on the 2010 roster, the Spartans have as much depth in their bullpen as they have ever had in the D-I era. Looking to lead the pen this year is a pair of seniors in Barrett Stover and Tyler Oliver, while 10 others can likely filter in a myriad of roles, including three left-handed freshmen that will give the Spartans some solid depth in the pen.

The team will look to its senior leaders in Stover and Oliver in late game situa-tions. Stover, a Durham, N.C., native, led the Spartans with three saves and a win from the pen in 2009. Oliver, a Lawrenceville, Ga., native, has led the Spartans in appearances in each of the last two years and the lanky right-hander won two games in 2009.

“T.O. is the logical guy to step up out of the group because he is a senior,” Fincher said. “I don’t think I did him any favors last year because I used him too much. Hopefully, this year we can get into a systematic approach in regards to his use. Barrett Stover wore down, too. If we can give them an opportunity to rest, they can be more effective for us.”

From the right-handed side, the Spartans can look to three pitchers with sig-nificant experience in sophomores Adam Waters, Andrew Wyant and Robert Stegbauer. Waters, a 5-10 sophomore, will look to fight off a back injury suffered early this winter to provide some added depth to the Upstate bullpen. As a fresh-man, Waters appeared in 20 games, tossing 30 innings and finishing 1-1. Wyant, a 6-6 sophomore, appeared in six games out of the pen as a freshman. Stegbauer, a 6-6 redshirt sophomore, also returns after fighting off an illness that took him from USC Upstate for the 2009 spring semester. Fully healthy this spring, Steg-bauer can both spot start and be used in any relief role.

Freshmen Bobby Jackson, who is coming back after shoulder surgery, and Trev-or Leonard will also look to find some time in the Upstate bullpen.

On the left-handed side, Upstate has four pitchers that can contribute. Senior Brian Dempsey can once again be used in middle relief after tossing 19 1/3 in-nings in the last two seasons. Chris Knauff, Stephen Rozenman and Jordan Rusk will also contribute from the left-handed side for the Spartans in any va-riety of roles.

“We’re hopeful three left-handed freshmen can produce a competitive inning from time to time,” Fincher said. “If you have options from the left side in the bullpen, it strengthens the team.”

CatchersBehind the dish, the Spartans can turn to a group of five players to spend time behind the dish, led by senior and three-year starter Jimmy Tanner and sopho-more Jeff Medley.

“They are going to be in competition,” Fincher said. “We think they can both catch, throw and hit, so we’ll see how it turns out. They both provide us with op-tions, as far as other positions, so that’s a good thing.”

Tanner, a 5-11 Fayetteville, Ga., native, is the lone catcher on Upstate’s roster with

collegiate catching experience, but he does have 96 games of experience over his first three seasons at Upstate. The best contact hitter on the team, Tanner paced the Upstate offense with a .354 average and 41 runs in 2009. His 80 hits were fifth in school history and leave him just 61 away from the school record of 241 hits set by John Caddell (2004-07).

Medley, a 6-1 Greensboro, N.C., native, will look to take over as the Spartans’ sec-ond catcher. As a freshman, he played third base, appearing in 43 games and hitting .255, also adding two homers and 21 RBIs. Perhaps most importantly in his transition to catcher, he displayed a very strong arm.

Behind Tanner and Medley, the Spartans can filter in three freshmen behind the dish, including Sam Bruner, Trevor Leonard and Trey Richardson.

“If one of the freshmen does develop, we are always in competition,” Fincher said. “If they make themselves available, we will certainly use them.”

InfieldersUpstate’s infield will likely take a variety of transformations during the 2010 sea-son, but that will be by design, as the team’s 11 available infielders also can per-form a variety of other tasks, from designated hitting to catching to pitching.

At first base, the Spartans can turn to the direction of no fewer than four play-ers in senior Jimmy Tanner, sophomore Austin Moyer, junior Joe Barnes and freshmen Gaither Bumgardner and Trey Richardson.

Moyer will likely platoon between first base, the mound and designated hitter. A 2009 All-Freshman Team selection, Moyer hit .278 as a freshman with four hom-ers and 34 RBIs, but due to his patience at the plate, he posted a .419 on-base percentage. Tanner likely could also platoon at first base when he is not behind the dish.

Barnes, a 5-11 transfer from Grand Rapids Community College, will also likely see time at frst base as well as second and third. A first baseman at Grand Rapids, Barnes hit .447 with 60 RBI as a sophomore. Richardson, a 6-1 Lakeland, Fla., na-tive, could also see time at first after hitting .448 as a prep senior to earn honor-able mention all-state honors.

Junior Blake Green will look to continue to hold down his spot at second base after playing 29 games at the position as a sophomore. Green hit .269 with 22 runs and 20 RBI and was one of the team’s best fielders, making just four errors all season. He also played eight games in centerfield and could see time in that position again.

Jimmy Tanner paced the Upstate offense with a .354 average and 41 runs in 2009. His 80 hits were fifth in school history.

Season Preview

The Spartans will likely start the season with freshman Brody Greer taking over for departed two-year starter Eric Guillen at shortstop. A solid fielder, Greer helped Belton-Honea Path win a state title as a senior after hitting .324.

“Brody Greer won the job in the fall and he is going to be given every opportu-nity to play shortstop for us,” Fincher said.

There are plenty of other players that could see time in the middle infield, in-cluding returning sophomores Austin Liput, Branden Millhouse and Adam Waters. Liput, who can play second, shortstop or third, played in 27 games as a freshman, posting nine runs. Millhouse appeared in 20 games, posting six hits and providing some sparkling defense. He will likely serve as a backup at second base. Waters appeared in nine games and had three hits and three RBI. If his back cooperates, he could serve as a backup at second base or third base.

At third base, the Spartans will likely use a couple options, including Bumgardner and Medley. Bumgardner, a 6-6 Fort Lawn, S.C., native, was three-time Class A Re-gion III Player of the Year at Great Falls High School and he hit better than .500 in each of his final two seasons at the school. He could provide some much-needed power for the Spartans. Medley, who will also platoon at catcher, will likely see time at third base, where he played all 43 games as a freshmen and he could also play at designated hitter.

OutfieldersWith Upstate’s four top outfielders from 2009 lost to graduation, the team will have to replace starters in all three outfield slots. The team will look to fill the void with three returners and three newcomers.

In the corner outfield slots, the Spartans will look for leadership from two re-turners, senior Brian Dempsey and redshirt sophomore Tyler Cook. Dempsey, a Montverde, Fla., native, has seen spot action in each of his first three seasons, appearing in 72 games and posting a .270 average and 21 RBI. Cook, a Bloom-ington, Ill., native appeared in 16 games as a freshman. One of the team’s best defensive outfielders, Cook posted five runs.

Junior Andre Harris will start the season in centerfield. A two-year letterwinner at Grand Rapids Community College, Harris hit .418 with 43 runs and 55 RBI as a sophomore. Green could also see time in centerfield.

Two other freshmen could also see time at any of the outfield slots in freshmen McCrae Norton and Tyler Miller. Norton, who was the High School Sports Report Class 4A Player of the Year after hitting .477 to lead Gaffney to the state title, will add some extra speed and versatility, as will Miller, who earned all-region honors as a senior.

“Dempsey and Cook, because they’ve been here, are the logical candidates to fill the voids,” Fincher said. “Tyler Miller played well in the fall so we’re hopeful he can earn time. Between Cook, Dempsey, Harris and Miller, we are hopeful we can find a competitive outfield.”

ScheduleThe USC Upstate baseball team has proven, even with the move to Division I, that it is not afraid of a challenge, and the 2010 season will be no exception, as the Spartans will play 32 of its 56 games in 2010 against teams that finished 2009 with non-losing records, 21 against teams with 30 or more wins, 18 against teams with an RPI of better than 100 and seven against teams that competed in the NCAA Regionals.

Upstate, celebrating its 25th season of play in 2010, will not stray from the path that Fincher has laid out for the team in its move to the Atlantic Sun Conference and Division I play. Once again, the team will find itself challenged every step of the way, beginning with a game against Appalachian State, which went 33-21 and finished 83rd in the RPI in 2009, on Feb. 20.

The Spartans will have a few more advantages up its sleeves in their schedule during the 2010 season, thanks mainly to 30 games in the friendly confines of Harley Park and no non-conference mid-week games more than three hours from the Spartanburg campus, heading only as far south as Charleston and as far north as Knoxville, Tenn.

Upstate will also continue to develop rivalries with traditional regional foes and powers, like the Atlantic 10’s Charlotte (at Charlotte, March 31; at Harley Park, April 6), the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Clemson (at Clemson, April 21), the Southern Conference’s The Citadel (at Charleston, March 10; at Harley Park, May 12) and the Southeastern Conference’s South Carolina (April 20, Columbia), and Tennessee (March 23, Knoxville). Upstate will also keep rivalries with the Big South’s Presbyterian (Feb. 20, Harley Park; Feb. 21, Clinton; April 7, Clinton), UNC Asheville (March 30, Harley Park; April 14, Asheville) and Gardner-Webb (March 3, March 24, Harley Park), all within an hour’s drive of Spartanburg, and Charleston Southern (March 9, Charleston; March 16, Harley Park).

The team will also start a few other non-conference relationships, including home-and-home agreements with SoCon power the College of Charleston (April 13, Harley Park; May 11, Charleston) and 2009 NCAA Regional participant, the Co-lonial Athletic Association’s Georgia State (Feb. 23, Atlanta; Feb. 24, Harley Park).

Fincher has also worked to keep developing the working relationship with Wof-ford for the Courtyard by Marriott Classic, a co-operative classic run by the two schools. This season, the tournament will occur on the second weekend of the season, from Feb. 26-28, with five games occurring in three days at Harley Park and Wofford playing four games at Russell C. King Field. The Spartans will host Dayton, NJIT and Butler during the tournament.

A reduction in the number of conference games from 30 to 27 in the 2010 season will also allow Upstate to play three more games at home, as the Spartans host George Washington for a three-game non-conference set on March 5-7, reunit-ing Fincer with close friend and former Peach Belt Conference foe at Georgia College & State, Steve Mrowka. The Spartans will also play a two-game homes-tand to end the season on May 18-19 against the Colonial Athletic Association’s William & Mary.

The conference season favors Upstate this year as a mix of tough match-ups will head to Harley Park, as both the 2009 A-Sun Tournament champions and the two-time defending A-Sun regular season champions will visit Upstate. FGCU, the regular-season champs, will kick off Upstate’s A-Sun season on March 12-13 while 2009 A-Sun Tournament champs Jacksonville visit on April 2-3. Also on Upstate’s home slate in A-Sun series are Campbell (April 16-17) and Kennesaw State (May 14-15).

The Spartans will hit the road five times for three-game A-Sun series, heading to ETSU (March 19-20), Belmont (March 26-27), North Florida (April 10-11), Mercer (April 23-24) and Stetson (May 7-8).

Austin Moyer will once again be used as a two-way player after posting three wins on the mound and hitting .278 with four homers as a freshman.

One of the most accomplished amateur baseball coaches in the nation, Matt Fincher is entering his 13th year as head coach at USC Upstate. With experience as an as-sistant coach in two of the most prestigous and toughest amateur baseball leagues in the world, the collegiate Southeastern Confer-ence and the summer amateur showcase Cape Cod League, it seems there is no better person to lead the Upstate baseball program into Division I and the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Fincher has spent the last decade-plus building the Spartans from a team that won 38 games in the three years prior to his hiring into a team that entered the Division I ranks in 2008 by finishing with a winning conference record for the first time since 1990. He has coached two current professional baseball players (Chris Nowak and Teddy Fallon) as Spartans. Along with former pro players Bradley

Blanks, Eric Davis, Bret Story and Brandon Williams, Fincher has helped six Spartans reach their goal of playing professional baseball.

Fincher’s clubs proved a thorn in the side of many of the best baseball teams in Division II, beating 48 teams ranked in the Collegiate Baseball Magazine Top 30 with 20 wins against teams in the top 10. The Spartans even pulled off historic wins on March 23, 2003, when Upstate downed top-ranked Kennesaw State, 8-7, and on March 18, 2006 when Upstate beat top-ranked Georgia College & State University, 11-1. In all, the Spartans won at least one game against a team inside the top 25 in each of Fincher’s years with the program in Division II and won at least one game against a team ranked in the top 10 in their last five years of DII play.

But that is just the beginning of Fincher’s story as a baseball coach. He is one of the most accomplished summer league coaches of the last 20 years. He has spent time in the North-east Collegiate League, the Jayhawk League, the Alaska Central League and 10 seasons in the Cape Cod League. One of only two people to ever have their number retired by the legendary Chatham Anglers, Fincher spent a decade on the Cape, coaching future major leaguers such as Jason Bay, Ryan Braun, David Bush, Matt Cepicky, Luke Carlin, Chris Coghlan, Jamie D’Antona, David DeJesus, Ron Flores, Chris Getz, Adam Greenberg, Brad Halsey, Rich Hill, David Huff, Chris Ianetta, Joe Inglett, Matt Kata, Mike Koplove, Bobby Korecky, Tim Lahey, Chris Lambert, Todd Linden, Evan Longoria, Mike MacDougal, Marcus McBeth, Kevin Mench, Andrew Miller, Colt Morton, Ryan Mullins, Ross Ohlendorff, Chad Orvella, Bobby Parnell, Kevin Reese, Brian Roberts, Kyle Snider, Tim Stauffer, Matt White, Chris Young and Brad Ziegler.

The Spartans, despite falling to 11th in the A-Sun in 2009, had plenty of bright spots, in-cluding a 1-0 win over SEC school Tennessee and a 4-3 win over Charlotte, the program’s first win over a Division I school receiving votes in a national poll. After the season, Austin Moyer earned A-Sun All-Freshman team honors and for the first time since 1988, two Spar-tans were drafted as pitchers Teddy Fallon (Pittsburgh) and Matt Branham (Houston) were selected in the MLB draft. In 2008, Fincher led Upstate to its seventh straight 20-win season and added the school’s first winning conference campaign since 1990, all while getting the team adjusted to the rigors of Division I baseball and the Atlantic Sun Conference. Along the way, the Spar-tans continued to play the role of the spoiler, as they shocked A-Sun Tournament Cham-pions Lipscomb with two come-from-behind wins and also shocked regular season A-Sun Champions Florida Gulf Coast by closing the season with two wins in a three-game set.

“Fincher developed me like I could be devel-oped and a big part of the reason I’ve got-ten to play collegiate baseball, let alone pro baseball, is because of Coach Fincher. He did wonders with me. You don’t come across many coaches who are as patient with players as Coach Fincher.”- Former Upstate pitcher Brandon Williams (2003-06)

In the process, Fincher coached both an Atlantic Sun Conference All-Freshman Team member (Blake Green) and the school’s first All-Atlantic Sun Confer-ence selection in second-team pitcher Kyle Bowley.

To close out the Division II era, Fincher coached three of the finest teams in program history, with the Spar-tans holding a national ranking at some point in each of its last three years in the Peach Belt Conference. A hitting guru, in three of the 12 seasons that Fincher has been head coach, the Spartans finished the sea-son with a batting average better than .300.

Fincher led Upstate to three straight winning seasons and back-to-back appearances in the six-team Peach Belt Conference Tournament to close the Division II era. The Spartans finished the 2007 season with a 34-25 record and a 15-15 mark in the conference, fin-ishing the season as the No. 4 seed heading into the PBC Tournament. The 15-15 league record was the best Peach Belt record in school history.

In 2006, the Spartans finished with a 33-24 record, the third time in the last four years the Spartans post-ed a winning record. USC Upstate advanced to the six-team Peach Belt Conference Tournament and was one of the final four teams left in the event before be-ing eliminated on the next to last day. The Spartans also claimed their first NCAA regional ranking.

The 2005 Spartans finished with the program’s best record as a member of NCAA Division II. USC Upstate had a 33-21 overall record and a 14-16 mark in the legaue in the 2005 season as Matt Goyea won the conference batting title and Kyle Bowley was named the league’s Freshman of the Year.

In 2004, the Spartans recorded a then-school record 11 conference wins. After the season, Chris Nowak was drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the 19th

round of the Major League Baseball draft, becoming the Spartans’ first draft pick since 1991.

In 2003, the Spartans finished with a 28-26 record, the first time since 1991 that the Spartans had a .500 or better record. It also marked the best record in the program since 1991. Fincher started Upstate’s resur-gence in 2002, leading the team to 21 wins, the first of a school-record seven straight 20-win seasons.

Prior to taking the baseball coaching position at USC Upstate, he served one season as the interim base-ball coach at Andrew College in Cuthbert, Ga.

From 1994 to 1996, Fincher served three years as an assistant coach under former University of Geor-gia baseball coach Steve Webber. In 1994 and 1995, Fincher served as a volunteer assistant coach. In 1996, he was promoted to top assistant and served as the team’s recruiting coordinator, hitting instructor, and coordinator of team travel. While at Georgia, Fincher earned his doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction in Physical Education.

During the summers of 1994 and 1995, Fincher coached the Athens (Ga.) Post 20 American Legion baseball team. The 1994 team won the state cham-pionship and advanced to the finals of the Southeast Regional before falling to eventual national champion Miami (Fla.) Post 346. The 1995 team finished second in the state tournament, losing in the state champi-onship game in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Fincher began his coaching career at Eastern Illinois Uni-versity, where he served as a graduate assistant coach with the baseball team and earned his M.S. in physical education. Following the completion of his master’s, he accepted a position at Georgia College & State Univer-sity where he assisted John Kurtz for five years. While at GCSU, Fincher’s primary duties included hitting in-

struction, coaching catchers and outfielders, and field maintenance. He also taught in the physcial education department and coached cross country for one year.

In 1991-92, Fincher took a job on the grounds crew with the Atlanta Braves, working old Atlanta Fulton-County Stadium during two Braves’ runs to the World Series.

In summer baseball, he managed the Cortland (NY) Apples of the Northeast Collegiate Baseball League in 1986 and 1987, and in 1988 he managed the Nevada (Mo.) Griffons of the Jayhawk League. In 1989, Fincher returned to the Northeast Collegiate League where he managed the Syracuse (NY) Braves. The summer of 1990 saw Fincher assisting with the Kenai Peninsula Oilers in the Alaska Central Baseball League. While with the Oil-ers, Fincher coached former MLB All-Star Rich Aurilia.

From 1997 to 2006 Fincher served as an assistant coach for the legendary Chatham A’s in the Cape Cod Baseball League, who were featured in both the ma-jor motion picture “Summer Catch” and the season-long retrospective “Last Best League” by author Jim Collins. Over 10 summers, Fincher worked in a vari-ety of roles which included coaching third base, field maintenance, and directing summer camps. During that time, the A’s won a league championship in 1998 and division championships in 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2001. His No. 23 was retired by the Chatham Athletic Association on Aug. 5, 2006.

Fincher played two seasons for coach Kurtz at GCSU, serving as a reliable catcher on one of the best small college programs in the Southeast. He also played two seasons at Wofford College. After exhausting his eligibility, Fincher finished his degree at Georgia Southern, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education in 1984.

Fincher resides in Moore.

“Going to college was a big step for me. Coming out of high school I was good, but I needed something to put me on the right track to becoming a better baseball player. Coach Fincher really opened up the mental side of the game to me and he really helped me understand how the game is played. We accomplished things that hadn’t happened in the program in a long time. From where the program was when I got there to when I left, it showed what kind of coach he is, the kind of players he recruits and the kind of program he has. He’ll have guys who will go out there and play hard and his teams won’t be out-coached if he has anything to say about it.”- Former Upstate player Chris Nowak (2002-04), currently playing in the Tampa Bay Devil Rays organization

“Based on his vast experience in coaching at so many levels, Matt is the right person to move USC Upstate to the DI level. I feel his strongest attribute is his ability to commu-nicate with today’s athlete. He has a unique ability to blend a strong disciplinary ethic and yet, he makes the experience fun for the players. He is a baseball junkie, constantly trying to learn new techniques and drills to make himself a better coach and convey this to his teams to make them better players. I enjoyed the 10 years Matt spent with us in Chatham. We were very fortunate to have very successful teams during his tenure and I give him a great deal of the credit for that success by helping create a fun environment, while teaching the game of baseball the way it should be played.”- Chatham Athletics Manager John Schiffner, Cape Cod Baseball LeagueWinningest Coach in Cape Cod League Modern Era

“Matt Fincher is a class act and has done a great job at USC Upstate. He knows the game, respects the game, and always prepares his players to compete. I have nothing but respect for Coach Fincher and I know he will do a good job taking Upstate to Divi-sion I.”- Columbus State University Head Coach Greg Appleton2002 NCAA Division II Champion, 2007 NCAA Division II Runner-Up

“The thing that has impressed me the most about Matt is that he is not willing to just compete. He has a very strong desire to take Upstate baseball to levels its never seen before, but he’s also not willing to do that at any price. He’s going to make sure he gets good students as well as good people that are exceptional athletes.”- USC Upstate Hall of Fame Member Ken Dickson ’90Former Major League Draft Pick

“Matt Fincher’s role with the Chatham Athletics of the Cape Cod Baseball League tran-scended coaching. From his first year there, his enthusiasm, his distinctive whistling, and his seeming ever-presence at the ballfield made him almost an institution with the fans and host families. For the players, though, he was something more: part sage, part teacher, part friend, all baseball. The players in Chatham came from some of the best college programs in the country -- from the ACC and the Southeastern Conference, from Texas and Maine and Southern Cal -- and more than one of them said they wished they had Finch for a coach back at school.”- Author Jim CollinsAuthor of the book, “The Last Best League,” which chronicles the Chatham A’s

“Coach Fincher is definitely the right guy for the program. He has built it from the ground up. We were ranked for the first time in the DII poll my freshman year and we had a great team during my four years. As far as him helping me, I was a walk-on that was cut twice during my high school career. I pitched just seven innings in high school. Fincher just gave me a chance. He developed me like I could be developed and a big part of the reason I’ve gotten to play collegiate baseball, let alone pro baseball, is be-cause of Coach Fincher. He did wonders with me. You don’t come across many coaches who are as patient with players as Coach Fincher. Plus, he can see the potential in play-ers better than anyone I know.”- Former Upstate pitcher Brandon Williams (2003-06)currently playing with the Frontier League’s Gateway Grizzlies

Quickly becoming recognized as one of the best recruiters and hardest workers in mid-major collegiate baseball, Russell Triplett is set to begin his fourth season as an assistant coach with the USC Upstate baseball program. Triplett works primarily with the infielders and hitters and coordinates the recruiting efforts for the Spartans.

In three seasons with the Spartans, Triplett has recruited three players that have gone on to receive postseason freshman awards, with two earning A-Sun All-Freshman Team nods and another earning Ping! Freshman Team honors. In 2009, the Spartans infused three freshmen into the everyday lineup and two more entered the weekend rotation, with Aus-tin Moyer earning A-Sun All-Freshman honors.

In his second year, the Spartans infused three freshmen into the everyday lineup, the Spar-tans won 25 games in their first season of Division I play and finished in fifth-place with a 17-16 record in the 12-team Atlantic Sun Conference. Along the way, two of Triplett’s first signees, Blake Green and Keith Bisgounis, earned some attention with Green taking a slot on the Atlantic Sun All-Freshman Team and Bisgounis earning Honorable Mention Ping! Freshman Team honors.

In his first year with Upstate, Triplett immediately helped the Spartans to a 34-win season, helping the team hit .289 during the season. The Spartans reached a DII national ranking as high as 18th and posted a school-record 15 Peach Belt Conference wins.

Triplett came to Upstate from Clemson University where he was a Volunteer Assistant on the Tiger coaching staff for one season. He was responsible for working with the hitters and infielders, as well as serving as the first base coach. He was part of the coaching staff that led the Tigers to an appearance in the 2006 College World Series in Omaha, Neb. Clemson claimed the Regional and Super Regional Championships, and won the regular season and ACC Tournament titles. He also coordinated the hiring of the winter and sum-mer baseball camp staff and assisted with the organization of the camps.

In addition to his experience working at Clemson, Triplett has served as a professional baseball instructor at the Blue Chip Baseball Academy.

Triplett was a standout player and four-time letterman at Clemson from 2000-04, earning his bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. He served as a Team Captain his junior and senior seasons. He red-shirted his first year at Clemson in 2000 and played in 37 games as a freshman in 2001. He had a breakout season as a sophomore in 2002, earning Second-Team All-ACC honors as a utility player. He hit .301 in 58 games and helped lead the Tigers to an appearance in the College World Series and a third-place finish in the nation.

Triplett took over the reigns at shortstop as a junior in 2003, earning his second consecu-tive Second-Team All-ACC selection. He hit .335 with seven home runs, 32 RBIs, and a .414 on-base percentage. He hit .304 with 17 doubles, four home runs, and 41 RBIs as a senior in 2004 and was the only Tiger to play in and start all 65 games.

For his career, Triplett played in 222 games and hit .312 en route to leading the Tigers to four NCAA Regional appearances, two NCAA Super Regional appearances, and an appear-ance in the 2002 College World Series.

Triplett played in the New York Mets organization in 2004 and 2005. After playing for the Kingport Mets (Rookie League) and Brooklyn Cyclones (Short Season A) in 2004, he was promoted to Single-A Hagerstown to start the 2005 season. He moved up to Double-A Binghamton during the summer, hitting a combined .286 with 15 doubles, four home runs, and 25 RBIs with Hagerstown and Binghamton.

The West Columbia, S.C., native was a four-year standout and letterman at Brookland-Cayce High School. He was named the High School Sports Report 3A State Player of the Year and the region Player of the Year as a junior in 1998 in leading his squad to the 3A state championship. He was also a standout quarterback on the football team.

Triplett resides in Spartanburg, S.C., and he is engaged to Ciria Ochoa, who is an assistant coach on the USC Upstate softball team, and will be married on July 31, 2009.

Heading into his second year as an assistant coach at USC Upstate, Grant Rembert has al-ready made a solid impact on the face of the Spartans with his tough-as-nails approach to the game. A former all-conference selection at Southern Conference power Elon, Rembert works with the Spartan hitters, catchers and outfielders as well as assisting with recruiting. He also oversees the Spartans’ strength and conditioning program.

In 2009, Rembert helped lead the Spartans to wins over SEC school Tennessee and back-to-back Atlantic 10 champions Charlotte. He also mentored a catching crew that threw out 34 percent of would-be basestealers and helped the team finish the year with a .283 batting average.

Rembert was a volunteer assistant for his alma mater in 2008, helping to lead the Phoenix to their third NCAA Tournament appearance in the past seven seasons and their ninth straight 30-win season. Working primarily with catchers and outfielders, Rembert helped Cory Harrilchak to First Team All-Southern Conference honors as an outfielder and catcher Dallas Tarleton to second team honors from the SoCon Media.

He had a standout career for the Phoenix as an outfielder, placing his name in several Elon record book categories and earning two All-Southern Conference honors. He earned two letters for the Phoenix and in 2004, he posted one of the best individual seasons ever for an Elon player. He set Elon season records with 250 at bats and 24 doubles, while his 85 hits are the second-most in school history. He added 60 RBIs, which is fourth in school history.

Before an injury in 2005 forced him to redshirt, Rembert earned a NBCWA Hitter of the Week award for posting five runs and six RBIs, leading the Phoenix to a sweep of Wofford College.

He capped his career by hitting .315 with 51 runs and 44 RBIs, earning second team All-Southern Conference honors, to help lead the Phoenix to a program-record 45 wins, a SoCon regular season championship and a berth in the 2006 Clemson Regional. In the regional, Rembert helped second-seeded Elon defeat third-seeded Mississippi State, 5-4, the school’s first-ever NCAA Division I tournament win.

In 2006, Rembert played for the Evansville Otters, leading the Frontier League team to a league championship, playing 34 games in the outfield. He hit .258 with eight doubles and 16 RBIs in 41 games for the Otters.

Rembert played two seasons at UNC Asheville, earning Collegiate Baseball Louisville Slug-ger Freshman All-American in 2002. He hit .365 with five homers, seven doubles and 40 RBIs for the Bulldogs. He also earned a slot on the Big South All-Tournament team. He earned All-Big South honors as a catcher in 2003, hitting .324 with eight homers and 51 RBIs.

In all during his collegiate career, Rembert collected 299 hits, 32 home runs and 63 dou-bles.

A graduate of Maiden High School, Rembert helped the Blue Devils to a state title in 1999 and earned two all-state and three all-conference honors. Also a quarterback on the foot-ball team, Rembert was twice named the area and conference player of the year. A two-time all-state selection, Rembert also played in the 2000 Shrine Bowl.

Rembert, a native of Hickory, N.C., earned his degree in business administration from Elon in 2005 and his MBA from Elon in 2007. In 2008, he earned his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification through the National Strength & Conditioning Association.

“Thomas L. Smith took real pleasure in watching children and young adults play baseball. He always felt this level of the sport represented the game in its most pure form, and he especially enjoyed watching his son and grand-sons play the sport. He was extremely proud that his grandsons, Blake and Jason, were able to play on the college level. Although he was unable to watch them because of his age, he always made sure to ask how they were doing. Regardless of the outcome of the game, he was always able to say the right things to let them know how proud he was.

It is with this thought, his love of watching children and young adults play baseball, that we, the family of Thomas L. Smith, have established this schol-arship. It is our hope that this scholarship can assist a deserving young man in continuing to play the sport Dad so enjoyed. The Smith Family trusts that this young man and his family will enjoy being a part of the USC Upstate baseball family as much as we have.”

- Rick Smith & Family, 2005

The fifth recipient of the Thomas L. Smith Memorial Scholarship is Brian Dempsey.

Dempsey is a senior outfielder/left-handed pitcher from Montverde, Fla., where he played at East Ridge High School for David Bultema. He joined the USC Upstate baseball team as a freshman in 2007. Now in his fourth year at Upstate, Dempsey is set to graduate as a physical educa-tion major.

Dempsey has seen his playing time increase throughout his time at USC Upstate, as the outfielder is a lifetime .270 hitter. A good bunter, Dempsey has posted 10 sac bunts in his career and he also has nine doubles and two triples, including a bases-clrearing triple in the bot-tom of the eighth against A-Sun Tournament champion Lipscomb in 2008 that helped Upstate to a 9-5 win.

Also active in summer baseball during his time at USC Upstate, Dempsey helped both the Clermont Mavericks of the Florida Sum-mer Collegiate League and the Waikiki Surfers of the Hawaii Collegiate Baseball League to league titles.

Brian has shown dedication to USC Upstate both on and off the field, and will be a major contributor to the program in 2010. The USC Up-state Baseball Program is proud to award Brian Dempsey with the Thomas L. Smith Memorial Scholarship.

2007 - bret HanSenThe first two-time winner of the award, Hansen showed sig-nificant dedication to Spartan baseball during his four years. During his senior year, Hansen left his mark on the school’s re-cord book, setting the school’s career hits mark and finishing

Now in its sixth year, the Thomas l. Smith Scholarship is awarded annually to a present or former USC Upstate baseball player, currently enrolled at the University, who has made significant contributions to the program. The memorial scholarship has been created to memorialize Mr. Smith, provide opportunity for others, and serve as a reminder as to the real reasons we play baseball.

The scholarship has had five recipients in its six-year history, from Thomas L. Smith’s grandson to one of the finest players to ever play at Upstate, the scholarship has been passed on as an enduring symbol in the Spartan program of hard work and love for the game.

Jason Smith was the first recipient of the Smith Scholarship in 2005.

2009 IN ReVIeW

MakinG StrideSBranham, Fallon DraftedJuniors Teddy Fallon and Matt Branham became the third and fourth USC Upstate baseball players in the last six years and the 10th and 11th in school history to be selected in the Major League Baseball draft, as Fallon was selected in the 43rd round with the 1,285th pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates and Branham was selected in the 47th round with the 1,421st pick by the Houston Astros on Thursday.

This is the first time since 1988 that two USC Upstate players have been selected in the MLB draft. The 1988 squad featured five draft picks (Leonard Thigpen, New York (AL), 69th round; Don Brock, San Francisco, 35th round; Rick Given, Houston, 20th round; Ken Penland, Texas, 40th round; Lindsay Robinson, Texas, 32nd round).

Fallon, a 6-2 right-handed reliever, was selected by Pittsburgh in the 43rd round, becoming the second player in school history to be drafted by the Pirates, joining 2006 Upstate graduate Brandon Williams, who was selected in the 29th round. He could become the third player to play in the Pirates’ organization, join-ing Williams and Tony McKinney, who was signed by the Pirates as an undrafted free agent in 1988.

Fallon turned into the go-to arm in the Upstate bull-pen late in the spring. In his last eight outings, he had a 1-0 record with a save and a 4.35 ERA in 20.2 innings. The Florida fireballer struck out 22 and walked 13 dur-ing that stretch. His four innings of one-hit, scoreless relief against Kennesaw State helped the Spartans take a 7-5 decision on Easter Sunday. Against The Citadel on May 6, Fallon was just as good, throwing 3 1/3 innings of one-hit ball, striking out one to pick up the save. Fallon’s emergence has come after he held a 16.88 ERA and had walked 36 batters in his first 13 1/3 innings.

Matt Branham was selected by the Houston Astros in the 47th round of the MLB draft. Branham has left a significant mark on the Spartans during his three-year career. Entering the week-end rotation as a freshman, the Spring Valley High graduate is already third in school history with 178 strikeouts, fifth in games started (37), fifth in innings pitched (232.0), sixth in ERA (4.03) and tied for 10th in wins (11).

Branham is the fourth player in school history to be selected by the Astros in the MLB draft, joining 1987 picks Chris Hawkins (15th round) and Kenny Dickson (21st round) and 1988 selection Rick Given (20th round). Branham popped up on many scouts’ radars thanks to a fastball that runs into the low-90s and his ability to throw both a slider and change for strikes. He has improved his ability to miss bats, culminating in his school-record 82 strikeouts this season. As a ju-nior, Branham was befallen by several hard-luck dur-ing several of his starts, as he finished 2-5 with a 4.39 ERA, but he left three games qualified for the win be-fore taking a no-decision. He tossed 82 innings, with batters hitting a paltry .267. He walked just 27 while his 82 punchouts were seventh-best in the A-Sun.

Branham had six quality starts during the season and lasted less than five innings in just two of his 13 starts. He finished the year strong, going 2-1 with a 2.35 ERA in his last three starts. He posted a win over Wofford, tossing eight innings and allowing seven hits while striking out seven and closed the year with seven in-nings of work in a win over Campbell. He allowed just four hits, an earned run and struck out seven in the game.

Moyer earns All-Freshman HonorsFreshman Austin Moyer finished second on USC Upstate baseball team in both homers (4) and wins (3), making him a valuable part of both the Spartans’ starting lineups and pitching staff, helping the rookie earn Atlantic Sun Conference All-Freshman Team honors.

On the mound, Moyer posted tossed 51.2 innings, striking out 32 and walking 34. Towards the end of the season, Moyer started to excel as he allowed one run or less in two of his last four starts. Against Charleston Southern, he posted one of the best pitch-ing performances of the season for Upstate. The 6-0 freshman retired 11 in a row at one point and allowed just five hits and one run in seven innings against the Buccaneers, striking out a season-high seven. Moyer also had a great performance on April 15 against N.C. A&T. He pitched seven innings, allowing just two hits and an unearned run. Moyer used pinpoint control to strike out four and walk none while allowing just two hits, one an infield single and one a seventh-inning double. Moyer also earned a win by tossing eight in-

Senior Phillip Morgan capped his collegiate career by going on a D-I era record 25-game hitting streak and

leading the Spartans with six homers and 42 RBI.

Teddy Fallon became the sixth Spartan in the last six years to enter pro baseball after he was drafted by

Pittsburgh.

nings and allowing seven hits and four runs against A-Sun school Belmont on March 7.

At the plate, Moyer helped fill a slot in the middle of Upstate’s lineup for much of the season, hitting .278 with four homers and 34 RBI. He led the team with 31 walks and was second with a .419 on-base percent-age. He also added 21 runs, eight doubles and two triples. In his first career start, Moyer went 3-for-4 with three runs, two RBI and a homer in a win over SIU Ed-wardsville on Feb. 21. He finished third on the team with 10 multiple-RBI efforts and also added eight multiple-hit efforts, including three three-hit games. Moyer posted a career-high four-RBI by going 3-for-5 with a triple at Jacksonville on March 28. Against North Florida, the 6-0 first baseman/designated hit-ter hit homers in both ends of a doubleheader, going 2-for-6 with two runs and three RBI in the first game before adding two RBI in the second game.

Spartan Pitchers lead To Sweep Of CamelsIt looked like the day would belong to USC Upstate junior ace Matt Branham, who set the school’s single-season strikeout mark in a 5-3 win in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader at Campbell. Then, senior Dennis McCraney stepped on the mound for his final game, setting the school’s career appearance record.

McCraney (4-1) finished the day with his first career complete game in his record-setting 77th career ap-pearance, going the distance in a six-hitter, leading Upstate (17-37 overall, 7-23 A-Sun) to an 8-2 win over the Camels (27-24 overall, 7-19 A-Sun), securing the series and doubleheader sweep at Taylor Field to wrap up the 2009 season.

McCraney allowed just three hits in his first eight in-nings, shutting down the Camel offense, which en-tered the week ranked 10th in the country in runs per game. He allowed six hits and four walks, but two of those came in the first inning before he found his groove. He faced the minimum 15 batters from the second inning to the seventh, allowing two base hits in that time, but McCraney alertly stepped off to cut down a runner attempting to steal in the fourth and then freshman second baseman Branden Millhouse fully extended on a ball to his left in the fifth inning, flipping on a belly flop to start a double play.

Branham pitched brilliantly to pick up his second win of the year, allowing four hits and one earned run in seven innings to lead Upstate to a 5-3 win in the first game of the doubleheader. He struck out seven in the game to establish a new single-season record for strikeouts, finishing his season with 82, besting the mark of 80 by Michael Stone set in 2000.

StreakingHow impressive was senior Phillip Morgan’s 25-game hitting streak? To start, it is the longest hitting streak for the Spartans since Chris Nowak’s 27-game hitting streak in 2002. Morgan hit .425 (45-for-106) with nine doubles, three homers, 17 runs and 28 RBI during that time.

Even more impressive is that Morgan was headlong in a slump that saw his average dip to .232 before his hitting streak started on April 7 at Wake Forest. Against Florida Gulf Coast, Morgan had six hits in 13 at bats, including a three-hit, two-RBI game on April 25. He was 4-for-4 with two runs and an RBI at Ken-

Freshman Austin Moyer earned A-Sun All-Freshman Team honors after hitting .278 with four homers.

Junior Jimmy Tanner led the Spartans, hitting .354 and posting 80 hits and 41 runs during 2009.

Senior Eric Guillen hit .300 and led the team with 42 RBI while playing 53 games in the middle infield.

nesaw State to lead the Spartans to a 7-5 victory on April 12. He was 2-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in the win over Presbyterian on April 8. In addi-tion, he started the streak by going 4-for-6 with a career-high six RBI at Wake Forest and missed hitting for the cycle by a triple. During a three-game set with ETSU, Morgan blasted seven hits.

Spartans Post Big Win Over 49ersHaving lost four straight games, all to 2008 NCAA Re-gional teams, the USC Upstate baseball team wasn’t being given a break on March 17 at Robert and Miri-am Hayes Stadium when it faced the 2008 Atlantic 10 champions, Charlotte. But, as the old adage goes, you make your own breaks, and Upstate got out of a run-ners on first and third situation with two outs in the ninth to take a 4-3 decision over the 49ers, who were receiving votes in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Poll and had won 10 straight games.

In the process, Upstate picked up its first win in the Division I era against a team earning votes in a DI na-tional poll. Upstate left the bases loaded in the eighth and junior Tyler Oliver ran into trouble quickly in the ninth after cruising through four innings of relief. Af-ter a leadoff walk to Corey Shaylor, a costly error on a groundball in the infield put runners on second and third. A passed ball cut the lead to 4-2 and a walk left runners on first and third when junior Barrett Stover took the mound.

Stover got a grounder to second for a fielder’s choice, but it scored Brown from third to make it a one-run game. A fly ball to Simpson in center gave Upstate a second out, but on a 1-1 pitch to Grant Bowmann, a hit and run worked to perfection, as Spartan second baseman Green had to change direction and could only get a glove on the grounder, moving the runner to third. A fly to deep left field, though, was corralled by Bisgounis to end the threat.

Beating TennesseeAfter what can only be termed an uncharacteristic four inches of snow fell on Sunday night after a pro-digious rain washed away two of the USC Upstate baseball team’s games last weekend, it was nice just to stand on a field with no snow on Wednesday, March 4, as the Spartans headed North to Tennessee for a game at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

The Spartans made the day more memorable than just playing a game after leaving their Spartanburg campus behind with snow still melting away, as a one-out RBI double from junior Jimmy Tanner in the top of the ninth inning lifted them to a 1-0 stunner over the Vols.

The Upstate offense, held to just four hits heading into the ninth, finally got some momentum in the top of the ninth, as sophomore Blake Green delivered a single off a diving center fielder’s glove. After a strike-out, Tanner took a 1-2 offering and delivered a liner into the left-center field gap, easily scoring Green.

The Vols immediately got a rally started in the ninth thanks to a leadoff walk and then a Spartan throwing error put two on with no outs. However, junior Bar-rett Stover settled the Vols’ bats and quell the rally, getting two flyouts before the last batter grounded to third and freshman Jeff Medley beat the Vols’ run-ner to third for the force out.

Upstate Baseball: Celebrating 25 Seasons

The baseball program, in conjunction with the USC Upstate athletic media relations department, began the process of nominations for Upstate’s list: “25 Seasons, 25 Moments” in July before fans had a chance to vote from mid-August to mid-October and more than 300 fans cast their votes to get their favorite moments on the list. The ballot was split into five distinct eras to ensure solid representation from across all of the program’s 25-year history. Included in the following pages are the fan-voted moments that have defined USC Upstate baseball.

Each of the 25 moments will be honored with a PA announcement during one of USC Upstate’s 29 home games at beautiful Harley Park. Below is the schedule for the commemorations:

Rifles Power Past Tennessee, 7-4USCS posts school’s first win against an SEC school, as left-hander Chris Hawkins saves game with four innings of key relief, April 14, 1987.

What They Have To Say...

I remember I wasn’t even supposed to be com-ing in. I was a starter at the time, but Coach Daurity really wanted to win the game. He knew it would do a lot for our program to beat an SEC school. Don (Brock) always threw a lot of pitches. He was in a lot of full counts, 2-2s and he threw a lot of pitches, just leaving too many over the plate. Coach Daurity told me to go warm up and I jumped out there. It was fun. Kenny Dickson would motivate me in different ways than normal and he got in my face and told me what the game was about and what it was for and he motivated me to go. I remember playing on that nice, big beautiful field that I hadn’t gotten to play in here or anywhere else for that matter. It was just a nice environment. The good thing about that team was that we always played up if our competition was better. I remember the last pitch and it was a fastball, called third strike. I didn’t think the umpire was going to give me the call, but I got it and it was good.- Chris Hawkins ’87

Don was very solid that day and the thing I re-member was that Chris had such a live fastball. That thing was just booming out of his hand. We had a play at the plate because of his live fastball and the ball went by Rick Given. Chris covered and we got him. That was a great trip. We also played at Vanderbilt. Tony McKinney was on a pitch count and then it started raining and we took him out, but we had them on the run. It got so sloppy, but they had their hands full that day. - John Daurity

I remember many of the players were in awe when we first entered the stadium and during batting practice. After batting practice, it felt like any other game. We were on a 13-game winning streak entering that game and we weren’t planning on losing any time soon. - Rick Given ’88

The win over Tennessee was huge for us. It was our spring trip in which we were scheduled to play Tennessee Wesleyan, Vanderbilt, UT, Western Kentucky and Belmont. We had beaten some really good teams at the time, but a win over them at their place was a great feeling. I remember the game well for another reason. I took a line drive off my thigh in the second or third inning, which later began to bother me and was part of the reason I came out after five innings. Hawkins came in and did a great job, and the offense supplied plenty of support.- Don Brock ’88

1986-1989

Five Rifles Chosen In The 1988 MLB DraftDon Brock, Rick Given, Ken Penland, Lindsay Robinson and Leonard Thigpen and undrafted free agent Tony McKinney all go on to play in the minor leagues, as 10 players in the first three years of the program play pro ball.

What They Have To Say...ing, it wasn’t hard to get a look from a scout. I was fortunate enough to be drafted along with these guys and have the opportunity of a professional career, which I had dreamed about since I was a kid. - Don Brock ’88

That was probably the closest I came, with that team, to winning a championship. Lindsay and Leonard were my roommates and Rick was my catcher and Don was in the rotation with me. Tony McKinney was in the rotation, too, and he was signed as well. So it was pretty cool for us. John Daurity was one of the most influential people in my life outside my family. I went to Butte, Montana and the wind chill was in the 20s with just my USCS jacket. I ran into Don in the minors. Lindsay and I both played in the Texas organization, but he went down to Florida and I was up in Montana.- Ken Penland ’88

Hawkins Strikes Out Record 15 Against WingateLeft-hander Chris Hawkins punches out a school-record 15 against the Bulldogs, leading USC Spartanburg to a 12-7 win, March 28, 1986.

What They Have To Say...If it didn’t go by them, they hit it real hard that day, but the team I had behind me made it real easy because you always knew that they would catch any ball they could. They didn’t really make many mistakes so that kind of helped. I don’t know if the mound was higher or the wind was blowing at my back, but it was definitely one of those days where you’re in the zone and everything is easy. I also had days where I wasn’t able to do anything right, so I was fortunate to be able to play in that one where everything was going well. I can remember a little bit about a lot of things. I remember how I felt when I went out there each inning. Even on 0-2 counts, I wouldn’t waste pitches. It was just one of those feelings where you could go at them. When the curveball is working really well, and you can throw it at any time, it really helps. I remember the last pitch was on a breaking ball. - Chris Hawkins ’87

Chris got better as he would pitch. Being around the guys he played with in junior college, I think it drove him. They just always had the knack of bringing out the best in each other.- John Daurity

On March 28, 1986, Chris Hawkins did somethingthatnoplayer inschoolhistoryhadaccomplished.Hawkins struck out a school-record 15 batters in aUSCSpartanburgvictoryoverWingate. His recordstillstandstothisday.

Hawkins, who has gone on to win more than 500games in 15 years as USC Upstate’s head softballcoach, was inducted into the USC Upstate Athlet-icsHallofFameforhisexploitsonthebaseballdia-mondin2003.

I think starting out the season with 17 straight wins got the attention of a lot of scouts. There should have been six players drafted. I never un-derstood why Tony McKinney was not drafted. He was an unbelievable pitcher. He later signed with the Pirates. In 1987, I had gotten some attention from the Braves and was told I would be drafted. It did not happen and I later was told that I was too short. Since I couldn’t get any taller, I decided I would hit the weight room and try to get stronger. After hitting eight home runs in the first eight games in 1988, I started get-ting a lot of attention. Not bad for a defensive catcher. I spoke with five different organizations during that season and was pretty confident that one of those teams would give me an op-portunity. It was great having all of those other players sign pro contracts. I remember Lindsey Robinson giving me a ride back to school after Rookie Ball in Florida and Tony McKinney giving me a ride to Spring Training.- Rick Given ’88

The thing I remember most about the season was the enormous amount of talent that Coach Daurity had been able to assemble. An incredible thing about the ’88 team was that we only returned two full-time starting position players from ’87 (Rick Given and Chris Sturgill). Somehow, Coach Daurity was able to replace them, and put together one of, if not the most prolific offenses in school history. When you were surrounded with such talent and coach-

Dickson’s OutburstKenny Dickson hits five homers and goes 13-for-15 (.867) during one of the most impressive offensive stretches in school history, March 28-31, 1986.

What They Have To Say...That entire week stands out as remarkable to me. Playing the competition we played and doing as well as we did, in my opinion, solidified that we could compete with anyone. That team was really amazing! We had a lot of fun and no matter what the odds were, we had a group of guys that in most cases, someone would come through. When I look back, I took for granted the talent and quality of people that I was sur-rounded with.

As for the three-game stretch, I would have to say that was a result of such a poor start for me. I had struggled tremendously and it had gotten to the point where Coach Daurity was so frustrated that he made me turn around and hit from the left side. It started out as an experiment during batting practice, and extra BP, and more extra BP, but developed into me hitting left-handed during games. After a few games, he allowed me to turn back around and that’s when things began to click. From going to Coastal and beating what was an established team with a load of talent to beating Elon, which was ranked nationally, it was a thrill. - Kenny Dickson ’90

USCS Downs Lenoir-Rhyne In School’s First GameJoel Goff pitches six innings and Bryan Durham goes 3-for-4 with a double to lead USCS to an 8-3 win in the program’s debut, March 2, 1986.

I just remember it was a pretty cold day, the first game of the year. I considered it an honor to pitch the first game and throw out the first pitch. I remember it was a strike. For a team that just kind of got put together, we had a lot of good ball players. Steve Bird, Chris Hawkins, Kenny Dickson playing third base, and during that year, Doug Keelan had one of the best averages in college baseball. It was kind of unique for just a bunch of guys from different places. For Coach Daurity to put a group together like that, it was a pretty good feat. - Joel Goff ’86

I was fighting for a position. I had been an infielder. As it turned out, a few weeks before the first game, I found I could play right field and I was the only one who could handle the sun. It was a whole new experience for me. It was special for me because I was playing. I was so geeked to just be running out there with the first nine. I was pretty close to getting one of the first hits, not the first one, but I did get a hit my first time up. We played pretty well, too. We knew we had a lot of talent, we just weren’t sure how it matched up with other college teams.- Chris Sturgill ’88

I told him to hit left-handed and he hit pretty well in a game or two. When he went on that tear, he saw some left-handed pitching. With that positive and negative learning experience, I just tried to get him to relax. He had lost his confidence and he just turned around and said I know I can do this. That thing probably looked as big as a beach ball. He hit the greatest home run I have ever seen when Kenny almost hit that great oak tree in left field at Gardner-Webb.

It was a great experience. I had a lot of help. Gene DiFillipio was the AD. If there was a way to get something done, he would do it. He was so infectious, with every kid we signed, Gene was in the middle of it. Gene went with me down to Atlanta and we had an 8 a.m. breakfast at Ken Penland’s house. Every guy that came in, he shook hands with and told them it was going to be a great accomplishment. To look at the guys we had, 10 signed professionally. There was some great talent and they were great people.- John Daurity

The things that stand out, I remember a lot of time being spent picking up rocks to make Rifle Field come together before that first game. Hav-ing that buy-in, though, helped us say we truly did help make the field. We had a great group of guys and the excitement (before the game) was good. To score that first run in the first inning, it was great to see the guys cheering. It was definitely exciting to do that and to have that little part in history.- Steve Hanvey ’87

1990-94

Rifles Win Duncan Park Classic, Then Down PhilliesAfter having to win three games in as many days to earn the right, USCS takes down the Class A Spartanburg Phillies, 5-3, in an exhibition game, April 3, 1990.

What They Have To Say...

It was a great experience. Steve Barr got a couple hits. He was an Anderson College guy and he had some talent. Steve Thompson, who wanted to be an engineer, he started that night. He transferred out at the end of the year, but we had some great players. Different club, but we had a great corps of athletes. They had a way of bringing the best out of each other. - John Daurity

I was out the first part of the year with mono and I just got back for that tournament so that was the first time I got to play. I was just pretty excited to be there. Things went from there and we got on a roll and of course, we ended up winning districts. It was just exciting to beat the professional players.- Greg Houston ’91

That whole tournament, we had fun playing. We had a pretty good team when I was there. It was exciting playing the Phillies because those guys were pros. Beating them in what we considered ‘our home park’ was good, too. We played a lot of games there and we thought it was ours, too.- Steve Barr ’91

That was one of the highlights of our year getting to play at Duncan Park. Back then, we still played at old Rifle Field. I don’t think I had any cartilage left after all I pitched. That’s when we really hit our stride, in that tournament. We were a good team, but we didn’t know how good we were. The thing I remember most is pitching a lot. I remember the game against Limestone was one of the most infamous in the school’s history because of the fight. It was a back and forth game. After all that happened, I pitched five innings. I think for that team, it was important that we won the fight and the tour-nament. To play the Phillies very well, too, was also pretty special. They are one of my favorite teams I ever played on. I know I needed several days off after the tournament.- Chris Fowler ’92

The Rifles Take The District Six CrownIn a winner-takes-all final, USCS pounds Francis Marion, 18-9, as both Jeff Lipscomb and Tommy Hodge score four runs in the game, May 7, 1990.

What They Have To Say... that year, so to come back that next year and win the district was sweet. We all felt like we were winners to come back. We didn’t have as much pure talent as the ’86, ’87 teams, but we had some grittiness. - Jeff Brooks ’92

I remember that was the culmination for us. We went into that tournament thinking we could win it. We beat Aiken, our long time nemesis in the first game. Tommy Hodge hit a homer in that game. Going into the final, I pitched with a large lead, which is always dangerous for a closer. I was as nervous going into that game as anything. I would’ve rather it been a tie game or us with a one-run lead. Francis Marion had some good players and I remember we had a game plan for one player and with our pitching coach, Oliver Whittaker’s help, we got that guy out thanks to his plan. We wanted to get out of there and once that final out was made, it was a great feeling. The year before that we had one of the worst teams in USCS history and to come out the next year and win the league, it was a good time. We felt like we could beat anybody and if you look at the stats, we could if we had the last at bat. It was really up to our pitchers how good we could be because we could score. That was a special time.- Chris Fowler ’92

Daurity Earns Third District Six Coach of the Year NodAlong with Daurity’s second Coach of the Year award at USCS, Todd Ellson, Clay Overcash, Jeff Lipscomb and Chris Fowler earn All-District Six honors, May 3, 1990.

What They Have To Say... the same. He was going to put in who he thought was going to play the best. His work habits, there was so much detail to his practice. The hard work he demanded has carried over through the years in me.- Jeff Lipscomb ’90

They all worked hard to get to that point. We had some unheralded recruits, guys like Lip-scomb. As a senior, he was Mr. Clutch. Jeff was a baseball player. Todd simply is a Hall of Famer. He is the best college hitter I have ever seen at any level. Guys on the other team did not want to face him. If you had to face him, he was going to hurt you. Clay was one of those guys you wanted on your team, but hated if he was the other team. He had a tough job. We ran a lot of guys on the hill and he, being the All-District se-lection, proved his worth with that staff. Coach D was one of those guys that is like a second father. That’s how he coached. He had a lot of psychological warfare going on. He could build you down and bring you up without ever raising his voice. He could break down fundamentals and you wouldn’t have an idea what he was doing, then a year later, you’d look back and say that’s why we did that. We lost several people in 1989 and he made some changes, but he brought in some guys that could play baseball.- Chris Fowler ’92

By Joe GuistinaUSC Upstate Assistant Media Relations Director

Aftera14-24season,theworstinschoolhistorytothat point, head coach John Daurity refocused histroopsin1990,leadingthesquadtoafourth-placefinish intheNAIADistrictSix.Thatwasenoughforhim to win his third District Six Coach of theYearaward,joininghisawardswonin1982(atWofford)and in 1987 (at USCS) while a school-record fourplayers earned all-district honors in first basemanTodd Ellison, catcher Clay Overcash, outfielder JeffLipscombandpitcherChrisFowler.

From the standpoint of the team, we all just meshed together. I hit in a good lineup. Jeff Lipscomb and Todd Ellison protected me. Guys would come at me and I was able to hit it well that year. I’m thankful for that. Chris Fowler would come in and he closed out games. We had a good working relationship as a battery. We truly were a team. We all got along off the field. We just had a good time. That goes as a reflection of Coach Daurity. He’s a good teacher of the game. We benefitted from his knowledge of the game.- Clay Overcash ’92

We played really well together. We didn’t have any superstars on the pitching staff. Everybody really truly enjoyed playing together. I think that was the biggest difference. Coach Daurity was such a good guy, we all wanted to do it for him. That year, if you saw one of us anywhere, you saw all of us. Everybody got on pretty well and that was special.- Todd Ellison ’90

I was a walk-on and Coach Daurity gave me every chance possible to succeed. I appreciate that so much because he looked at everyone

that thing. It was unbelievable, one of those things where we got hot at the right time. We believed in each other and we had a great time playing the game.

I remember not starting the final game. We batted around and the kid who was playing in front of me was in because he was left-handed. We batted around in the first and by the second inning, Coach Daurity put me back in. Tommy Hodge was on fire the whole tournament. The excitement we had when it was over just to have a chance to keep playing. For a lot of us, we knew it was our last chance to play baseball and to win and have another day on the field, that was awesome.- Jeff Lipscomb ’90

In the first game, USC Aiken’s pitcher had prob-ably 14 scouts out there watching. I figured I had a shot to impress the scouts in the bottom of the inning, but I came out and none of the scouts were in the stands. Then they all come back and had hot dogs in their hands, but I guess I got the last laugh, because we ended up winning that game. My freshman year was a tough year. A lot of the guys struggled through

They were all gritty, hard-nosed players. That was a fun group of guys to be around. Jeff Brooks was a crafty left-hander. Danny Taylor called me about Chris Fowler, one of those ath-letes from a small school that played basketball. I went over and watched him play Legion. Chris comes to us in the fall and he is not very good. He pitched against Anderson, and he got one guy of 11 out. He just struggled. We didn’t try to change him in the fall. He had such a long, loose, easy-flowing body that I thought he could throw underneath. He sure did figure it out. The kids called him ‘Zero’ because if he came in with a lead, he never gave anything up. His move-ment was so amazing. - John Daurity

We came back on that Sunday, and that last game, those guys were not going to get beat. Whatever it took, there were a bunch of runs scored. It was all hands on-deck. It was a fun expe-rience. Great individuals doing some great things.- John Daurity

We set a goal. I’ll never forget the meeting we had the night before. Todd Ellison, myself and Chris Cranford talked in front of the players. We went into that tournament with so much con-fidence. We had a great year and then we won

The Peach Belt Tournament UpstartsPlaying against an Armstrong Atlantic State team that had held the No. 1 national ranking during the year, USCS sweeps the Pirates out of the Peach Belt quarterfinals, April 18, 1993.

What They Have To Say...By Joe GuistinaUSC Upstate Assistant Media Relations Director

If ever there were a movie-script perfect momentfor USC Upstate baseball, it came in 1993 whenthe Rifles finished the regular season in last place,felldowninabestofthreePeachBeltTournamentquarterfinalseriesandthen,onthearmsofShaneJohnsonandJerryWest,theybeatanArmstrongAt-lantic State team that many thought was the bestteam in Division II in consecutive games, 6-5 and5-3, tomoveontothePeachBelt’sfinal four-teamtournament.

I was scheduled to start the first game on Satur-day and I remember Coach Dorman calling me and Greg Ort into his room and changing it. I thought it was going to be the last game I’d ever pitch. I didn’t see us sweeping AASU that day. One thing about Coach Dorman and Daurity, if you got late in the game, if you walked the leadoff guy you were gone. We were leading 6-2 in the ninth and I walked the leadoff guy. I guess I started my sales career that day because I wasn’t leaving. He left me in initially, but we were pretty fortunate to sneak out with the win. Ben closed the door on them. Jerry West threw a gem the next game. The thing I remember the most is the pile-up on the mound on their home field at the end.- Shane Johnson ’93

That morning we had a team meeting and all of us came together. After we won the first game, we knew we had it. Shane threw lights out in the first game. He threw great. In the ninth, Bubba Dorman took me out behind the plate and he put me on the mound. I struck out the last guy and we erupted. Jerry just shut them down after the first inning. We had several meetings on the mound in the sixth or seventh but he said he

still wanted the ball. We knew we had the same amount of talent that they had and that day it showed up. We got a lot of key hits. We turned double plays. That was the best Shane and Jerry had thrown all year. It was great to catch both games. I was pumped. It was one of those memorable things. Jerry, Shane and I were all tight. It was the highlight of my career playing at USCS.- Ben Wages ’94

The big thing for us, we were the last seed in the tournament and Armstrong was loaded. We were supposed to go down and lose two and out. We went down and played over our heads. Some guys got some big hits. I got a double to put us ahead in the first game. It was one of those thrilling games. It was pretty exciting.- Brian Simpson ’94

I think they had been ranked No. 1 for about half the year. They had a couple D-II All-Americans. That game was probably the best I felt all year. When we got the last out, it was one of those deals where they piled on me like we’d won the World Series. That was pretty special, especially for a club that hadn’t been very good all year. The thing that made it even more fun was that Armstong was in shock.- Jerry West ’93

We didn’t have a prayer in the first game because they threw an All-American. I saved my two best guys for the second day. We ran Shane (Johnson) out there in the first game on Sunday. He could compete and had a great hammer. I knew the Armstrong Atlantic coach Joe Roberts and he had made some statements earlier that year that he was scared to death of Shane. In the second game, Jerry West, who had a tre-mendous breaking ball, and when he had that breaking ball going, he was pretty dog gone good, too. They gave us a tremendous opportu-nity to stay in the game and win the thing.- Bubba Dorman

What They Have To Say...We always started well. Steve Barr had a great body and a better head. He worked like gangbusters. He got his swing grooved. We had some guys who could really stroke the baseball. regardless of what the score was. Greg Houston played short and he was a can-do guy. It wasn’t real complicated. They just went out there and got it done. Tim Wallace (head coach at SMC) came out to a practice at Duncan Park and he brought us some equipment and he told me ‘I wasn’t going to stay to watch batting practice, but when you started, it was hypnotic. I could not get up.’ Every guy just ripped that thing so pronounced. That’s how fun it was to watch to those guys take BP. For somebody who has not played, they don’t know the time that is put in. To be able to consistently bang-bang, that was a great testament to the work ethics they had. - John Daurity

That was a great year indeed. I often think back to the “streak” and how much fun it was to see our name on the local TV station (WSPA) and just the buzz around campus. We had fun when we showed up at the field. One thing about Coach Daurity’s teams was that we played with a lot of energy and had fun! He always said we were never out of game until the last out and

we believed that - especially with the offensive team we had. The transition to D-II made it dif-ficult to make it to post-season since we weren’t in a conference. I will always be grateful to our school and Coach D for giving me a chance to play collegiately.- Eric Prince ’91

I remember the start of going to Division II was a challenge. We had a lot of the same guys from the year before and we just decided that we wanted to make a statement. - Jeff Brooks ’92

It was a pretty exciting time. We wanted to prove we belonged. We had a pretty good run. I think that 1991 team was better overall than the one the year before. It was pretty exciting to play in those games. We killed people. If I can remember correctly, we played Newberry at Duncan Park. It was a big thing because Tim Medlin was the coach. He was a pitcher’s coach at Anderson Junior College when I played for him. I led off the game with a homer, then Tom Hodge hit one and Stanley Jones hit one. Mark Faile followed with a long foul ball down the right field line, then he walked. To jump out to a 4-0 lead like that, that was memorable.- Steve Barr ’91

25 Seasons, 25 Moments

The Fincher Era BeginsUpstate’s longest-tenured baseball coach earns his first win at the school thanks to a nailbiting 2-1 win over USC Aiken, Feb. 14, 1998.

What They Have To Say...

I remember that we didn’t get off to the best of starts. We had been playing for a week and had not won a game. I remember, specifically, that we won that game because Chuck Tauchman pitched so well. He held them down, he changed speeds and they didn’t hit him. It was a tight game the whole way through and we won because of Chuck.

It was still early in the season and we knew we were in a season that was going to have more downs than ups. It was a relief to get the first one. I remember the guys being real happy about it, so that was kind of a neat day.- Matt Fincher

I met Coach Fincher in the offseason when I was doing rehab from my knee surgery. I always thought fondly of Coach Fincher. He’s a great coach and I wish I had played for him for more than one year. It was a good win for us to beat a nationally-ranked team. I remember it being a nail-biter. There wasn’t much room for error on the mound. One thing I remember is that I was doing pretty well and moving along. Then David Dart comes out to the mound, and I said, ‘What are you coming out here for?’ He said, ‘Coach Fincher told me to come out and say hi. Didn’t look you were having much fun. ‘ I just thought that was an interesting thing to do to keep me loose.- Chuck Tauchman ’98

Brendel, Moss Top Mars HillStanley Moss hits for the cycle by the fifth inning during a five-hit game and Jay Brendel notches six hits as USCS downs Mars Hill, 27-7, Feb. 16, 1997.

What They Have To Say...Stanley Moss was a great baseball player. Jay Brendel, a young man out of Indiana, had a lot of juice in his bat.- Bubba Dorman

It was a very special day. It was the first game of the year. I was hoping to start things off on the right foot, but I certainly didn’t think about starting it off quite like that. I didn’t realize I had done it until my last at bat and I got a double. Everybody else was cheering. I didn’t really think about it. You know, once the game starts, you’re kind of just focused on the game. Everybody was kind of talking more about Jay getting six hits and then we kind of also realized that I had hit for the cycle. A lot of offense, a lot of runs, especially for that first game of the year. Usually, pitching is a little out in front of hitting at that point of the year, but we came out and swung it. We came out and swung it well the whole year.- Stanley Moss

Westbrook Goes Back-To-BackJason Westbrook becomes the only player in school history to earn back-to-back All-Peach Belt Conference accolades, 1994-95

What They Have To Say...Jason got the most of his abilities every day he showed up. He was a young man out of Florida that went to Brevard in North Carolina for his first year. Rusty Stroupe recruited him and with the coaching change, Jason wanted to get out of there. He was very unorthodox at the plate with a perpendicular swing, but he knew where the barrel was. He played center for us all three years and he was a dirtbag. He could hit, not a lot of power, but I don’t know that he hit below .330 in his three years here. He competed every day he was here. I don’t think he got drafted because of his speed, but he got great jumps on the ball. If it was near him, he caught it.- Bubba Dorman

Callahan CanCallahan Morden earns All-South Atlantic Region honors as a junior, hitting .355 with 11 homers for second-year head coach Matt Fincher, 1999.

What They Have To Say...Callahan had a great junior year. He was by the far the best player on the team that year. He was one of the primary reasons that we improved pretty signifigantly from the first year to the next one. Callahan was hitting the ball and he was the catcher, so he led us to a degree.- Matt Fincher

I knew that the team had struggled in the past and I thought that I could help move that pro-gram into the right direction. Instead of going somewhere else to play I thought, if I could help make an impact for a program that would be something special to remember! And it turned out to be a good season. We had some real highs, as well as lows. As for playing well that season, I would attribute a lot to Coach Fincher. I was constantly working at my game both at the plate and behind the plate. I was never blessed with the God-given talent for the game, I had to work at it. First to arrive and last to leave was how I lived my life around the game. It was an adjustment from SMC as we basically faced pitchers that threw hard fastballs and not too much offspeed, which was the exact opposite of what we faced at USCS. I had to work with Coach a lot to make the adjustments at the plate. - Callahan Morden ’00

By Joe GuistinaUSC Upstate Assistant Media Relations Director

When head coach Matt Fincher took over the USCSpartanburg baseball program in 1998, he wasdetermined to rebuild a program that won just 13gamesinhisfirstseason.Hewantedtocompeteim-mediately and as part of that, he recruited heavilyfromjuniorcolleges.

Rifles Steal One From The BulldogsA three-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning leads USCS to a major upset of a Wingate program that finished sixth in the nation, March 7, 1995.

What They Have To Say...We didn’t have the big-time guns on the mound, but we had some guys that were going to fight. Eric Smith could absolutely hit, Westbrook, Ben Wages. The kids just competed and a lot of times we had to go Johnny Whole Staff. After Metcalf got us five, then everybody else kind of had to get an inning, but if you let us hang around long enough with the guys who were swinging, we could jump up and bite you. Offensively, we had some young men who could swing the bat. - Bubba Dorman

We had a great time. It was a learning experi-ence for all of us. We came from a small town. Ben (Wages) and I came from Union. It seemed like a whole different world being out on our own the first time. And baseball got me through school. It helped me gain a different perspec-tive. I had a great time. My wife actually goes to USC Upstate now and it’s awesome to see those fields up there now and it’s great to see the progress that was made.- Greg Medford ’95

Nowak Leaves USC SpartanburgDrafted in the 19th round by Tampa Bay, Chris Nowak leaves USCS as a junior after earning All-Peach Belt and All-South Atlantic Region honors, June 8, 2004.

What They Have To Say...

First, and foremost, I was happy for Chris be-cause I knew that’s what he wanted. He worked very hard and he absolutely deserved it. I was very happy for him because he was going to get what he wanted - an opportunity to play profes-sional baseball. I was happy for the program because, in my mind, it was a recognition that we were improving. Before that, scouts hadn’t come around. They hadn’t seen us play. As Nowie progressed, and as consistent as he was, they came around to see him and then they saw others. Nowie did more than get himself drafted. He gave a lot of opportunity to others. He gave the program a spotlight - an opportunity to see it in a different light. That was very important in the improvement of the program.- Matt Fincher

I remember the final game and kind of, not saying goodbye, but getting hugs from the close frends, especially my two buddies from Wiscon-sin and the coaches. I didn’t say that I was going to be drafted and that I was going to go, but I had heard some things. I left to play in Roches-ter in the Northwoods League and the first day of the draft went by and I didn’t get drafted, which wasn’t a bad thing. I had a great time at USC Upstate, but it turned out the second day, the second pick of the draft was me. I had to sit down and make a decision. I wanted to go play professionally. It was a lifelong dream and I am still playing today. The All-Region and All-Peach Belt, it was an honor. I can’t say that I didn’t like being rewarded for the hard work that I put in.- Chris Nowak

The StreakChris Nowak hits in a school-record 27 straight games, help-ing to spur him on to Peach Belt Freshman of the Year acco-lades, Feb. 23-April 4, 2002.

What They Have To Say...It was clear to me early in the fall that if Chris wasn’t our best player, he was one of our best. He enjoyed a very good freshman year and I think his consistency is what was significant. He was very consistent across the season. He came in and showed he was going to be one of the better players in the program. - Matt Fincher

I remember coming in and feeling a bit like a fish out of water. I had a good fall and was told I would be the starting third baseman and hit in the middle of the lineup. Getting a chance to play every game at the time in the No. 1 D-II conference in America against weekend starters from some really good schools, and getting to show what talent I had was a blessing. It was a great opportunity. I didn’t really realize that. I knew I was seeing the ball well and I was just getting through the ball. To come in and do what I did as a freshman, it was special. It was a pretty neat thing. Coming from high school, I was still a kid but I had some good senior lead-ership, and that helped me mature. I think I was more successful because of it. - Chris Nowak

Cycling Around The BasesNowak hits for the cycle in a 10-8 loss to Anderson, complet-ing it with a ninth-inning double. He later earns Peach Belt Player of the Week honors for the effort, Feb. 18, 2004.

What They Have To Say...What I remember about this game is that there was some back and forth to it. They’d get the lead and we’d catch up. We hit fairly well, but in the end, we just didn’t have it. We hung in there with them because Nowak was having such a good day. He kept hitting and we kept catching up with them, but they won the game.- Matt Fincher

I remember I didn’t realize I had done it. I had hit a triple and single earlier in the game. Later in the game, I hit a homer to center field and then I hit one off the wall in right-center and I don’t remember if it was to tie or take the lead, but I remember it not going over and kind of being mad because we needed the run. I got to second and guys were clapping because it was a big hit, but it seemed a little longer than normal. It took me a minute to realize what I did, then Brad Wingo came up and said, ‘Hey man, you know you hit for the cycle. That is awesome.’ I do remember that and I do remember losing that and wishing we could’ve won if I would’ve scored. It was kind of bittersweet that we lost the game but good I did well individually.- Chris Nowak

Smashing The Hits RecordChris Nowak sets the school’s hits record, since surpassed three times, in just three seasons with a double at Columbus State, March 28, 2004.

What They Have To Say...That freshmen class was when we really started to turn it around and Nowak certainly was the driving force in that. He was the best player and the best player that I’ve coached here, probably. He was really important. We don’t do it without him. He carried us to a certain degree. He was consistent, day-in, day-out. You could put in the bank that he was going to get a hit or two. He was going to make an impact offensively and defensively. He was the kind of player that you had to have if you were going to be nationally-ranked and as a result, we were.-Matt Fincher

I remember the team was talking about it, and they had talked about me doing it in three years. Getting the opportunity to set the record as a junior was special because it showed I was con-sistent in my time there. I think my sophomore year was my most inconsistent, but I still hit .365, which by my standards, wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be. To come in the next year and to keep it going was pretty special. It’s something that not too many people could say that they set a school record for hits as a junior.- Chris Nowak

Harley Park OpensTrevor Berryhill and Brandon Williams pitch USCS to a pair of wins against Tusculum in the debut of the on-campus facility, Feb. 1, 2004.

What They Have To Say...That was a big-time honor for me. I am very thankful that Coach Fincher gave me the op-portunity to pitch the first game. That was a very nice privilege for me. There’s always nerves going into a game, but not like opening the new complex. I remember I was on vacation the summer before it opened and we drove through Spartanburg just to see it. To pitch well and get a win, that is one of the games that I’ll never forget in the Black and Green. Tusculum was a great program and for us to go and get two wins that day, we did well. That place is like home to me and it always will be.- Trevor Berryhill ’06

I just remember that it was nice to save on gas money because we didn’t have to drive to Dun-can Park. I loved having a place of our own to play. We went to a lot of schools that had their own park and it was nice to have something that was ours. It was almost nerve-wracking before the game to see who got the first hit, the first out, the first homer. - Brad Wingo ’06

I remember the day that Director of Athletics Mike Hall told me that Cleveland Harley had promised us a donation and that they were go-ing to put it towards baseball to build a facility and how happy that made me to know that we were going to be on-campus. I knew from the moment that he told me that it would change the program tremendously and it did.

As far as playing the first game, what a special day. A lot of it is a blur because we were trying to get ready, not only for the start of a new season, but also with the opening of a new facil-ity. Tusculum was nice enough to come down here and I think that was a great opener for us because they have a tremendous program. We were fortunate enough to win both games, which made the day even more special. What I remember the most, probably, is the first pitch was a strike and the umpire threw me the ball and said, ‘You might want to keep this.’ That was the first glimpse of recognition that this is pretty special. I still have the ball to this day. That’s one of the days that I really feel fortunate that I am the baseball coach here.- Matt Fincher

Fincher Sets The School’s Career Wins MarkNot even known to him at the time, Matt Fincher passes John Daurity with his 182nd career win, a 7-4 triumph over Lenoir-Rhyne, March 30, 2006.

What They Have To Say...

Certainly, John Daurity is the greatest coach in the history of the program. There is no doubt about that. I know how good a coach he was because I was fortunate to play for him for a year (at Wofford College). Anytime you look at a counting stat, like wins, it’s because I stayed here longer. I look at that, and think how fortunate I am to now be in my 13th year here. I’m proud of the fact that I’ve been here that long. It’s good to be on the list, but that’s not why we do this.

I remember that when we recruited Kevin Crane, we thought he’d be a big contributor. On this particular day, he was very competitive. He pitched the way he could and he held us in the game. We were playing in a minor league sta-dium in Hickory, which was always a neat thing to go up there and the guys always enjoyed playing up there. Kevin pitched great and we won the game. With Kevin Crane pitching like that, we had a chance to win some games.- Matt Fincher

Coach Fincher, not only did he teach us a ton about baseball, but he also teaches a lot about mental toughness. The work ethic he put in us, it prepared us for the season and prepared us for the real world. He had a plan and systematic approach to everything he did. He taught us that excellence is defined as something a person is better at or superior to than others. He taught us that we as baseball players at USC Upstate aspire to excel in all that we do. He also taught us a lot of big words that I still use today.- Brad Wingo ’06

“ThatwasthefirstthingCoachaskedmeafterthatgame,”Clarksaid.“‘Howdidyourgranddadlikethathomerun?’”

My granddad, who is 86 now, whenever he would come see me play, I would do terribly. He came to that game, though, and I had struggled in a few games before that. I went up to Coach and told him my granddad was coming to ask him to put me in. In the second at bat, I hit a home run. When I crossed the plate, I looked at my granddad and he stood up. It was a really good personal moment. That was the first thing Coach asked me after that game, ‘How did your granddad like that home run?’

Coach Fincher always had the same mentality, same focus whether we won or lost. He was always the same guy and he tried to instill in us what a grind it is to play a long season. You can’t have high and low mood swings, but he is a serious competitor and you know he wants to win. - Josh Clark ’07

Another Milestone Win For FincherNow in the waters of Division I, Matt Fincher beats his old Peach Belt foe, Kennesaw State, 14-5, for his 250th career win, April 11, 2008.

What They Have To Say...2008 was a good year. We were moving to Division I. Bowley was a senior, and Runion had five hits in that game. Our seniors gave us a lot of leadership that year. Bowley pitched a lot of good games here and he held opponents down. He did that again that night. They pitched Kyle Heckathorn, who ended up being a second round draft pick the next year, and we got him out of the game. We hit a very good pitcher very well. This was a night that we truly played to our level of ability. Historically, we haven’t beat Kennesaw State that often, and to beat them like that was enjoyable.- Matt Fincher

We knew that if we won it was going to be Coach’s 250th win. A couple of the guys talked about it, but we weren’t going out there thinking we had to win. We knew we were facing a high draft prospect and that he’d get the win eventu-ally. It was a big win. We were pretty pumped up. The postgame speech was uncharacteristic of Coach Fincher. He was proud of it and you could tell. He deserved that win. He has put so much into the program. It was big for him.- Andrew Runion ’08

By Joe GuistinaUSC Upstate Assistant Media Relations Director

Matthew D. Fincher knows what it is like to havethe odds stacked against him. Facing a historicallystrong program, one that Upstate had beaten justsix times in school history, and one with a futureMLB second-round draft pick standing on the hill,Fincher’s Spartans took the field looking to handhimhis250thcareerwinonApril11,2008.

Of course, Fincher had some pretty darn goodcardsofhisown,namelyintheformofseniorsKyleBowley and Andrew Runion, each of whom weredeterminedtoleaveabigmarkontheprogramintheirfinalyears.OnthatFridaynight,theystampedanother mark into the Upstate annals, as RunionsmashedfivehitstoleadUpstatetoa14-5win.

“Our seniors gave us a lot of leadership that year.Bowley pitched a lot of good games here and heheldopponentsdown,”Finchersaid.“Wehitaverygoodpitcherverywell.Thiswasanightthatwetrulyplayedtoourlevelofability.Historically,wehaven’tbeatKennesawState thatoften,andtobeat themlikethatwasenjoyable.”

Kennesaw State had just eight hits while Upstateknockedaround16safeties.

“The postgame speech was uncharacteristic ofCoachFincher,”Runionsaid.“Hewasproudofitandyoucouldtell.Hedeservedthatwin.Hehasputsomuchintotheprogram.”

Riverboat’s JourneyCasey Rivers takes the long road to D-I baseball, becoming the first player in NCAA history to play at the JuCo, D-III, D-II and D-I levels, Feb. 23, 2008.

What They Have To Say...Rivers is somebody who has worked for every-thing that he’s got. When I think of him, as I go through the years and I remember him, I’m sure his name will come up in regard to work ethic and making your way. - Matt Fincher

I always wanted, from the get-go, to play college baseball at the highest level, which is Division I, and I tried to get there but my grades weren’t good enough to get there right away, so I went to a junior college and played there. Later, I saw an opportunity to come down and play at Upstate. Mike (Colecchi) said, `Why don’t you come down here?’ It was my last shot at playing at a higher level, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I wasn’t even thinking about the team making the transition to Division I, I just figured it was a very good Division II team. I was a walk-on that just basically showed up. Coach Fincher said that my skill level wasn’t good enough when I got here. As we went through the fall practice, he said I improved dramatically. I al-ways believed that if you show up every day and work your hardest, good things will happen.- Casey Rivers

25 Seasons, 25 Moments

The Stunning ShutoutSeven pitchers allow just four hits as USC Upstate leaves a snowy Spartanburg campus to beat its first SEC team, Tennes-see, in the D-I era, 1-0, March 4, 2009.

What They Have To Say...We clearly caught them on the right day. For whatever reason, they were unable to score. I think the shuttling of pitchers in and out, on that particular day, although I am not a big be-liever in it, was very effective. They didn’t get any of our pitchers timed up. There were a couple key instances in the game where things worked out for us. We’d get an opportune double play at the right time. Pitchers executed at the perfect time. Defensively, our guys were efficient. We weren’t out there making a lot of mistakes. We made them earn it and they were unable to do that that day.- Matt Fincher

It was a lot of fun. I remember being on deck and they had their big righty in there and he was throwing pretty hard. I noticed in warm-ups that he was starting to get on the side of his breaking ball a little bit and he hung the breaking ball to me and I just got through it and drove it into the left-centerfield gap. I just tried to attack the weakness and capitalize. It was a good feeling to have the opportunity to beat them. To have the chance to get that hit and get that run, was good.- Jimmy Tanner

Let The A-Sun InIn their first year of D-I play, Upstate beats league champion Florida Gulf Coast twice in three games to finish above .500 in league play for the first time since 1990, May 16, 2008.

What They Have To Say...The history of our program is that when you pitch well, you win. Florida Gulf Coast had a tremendous team that year and they won the conference. Matt Branham went up against an outstanding pitcher (MLB fifth-round pick Richard Bleier) and won. That was another day where we played to our ability. We were very good that day. That Kyle Simpson and Eric Guillen were so closely involved in the victory is good because they were program guys. They were instrumental in a lot of the things that had gone on at that time.

We had to win the third game to finish with a winning record in the conference, which was a primary goal of ours at that point and we had the right guy on the mound. When Bowley was motivated, he was good and he was motivated that day. Runion was hitting the ball. What I remember most about that year was the leadership that we got from Runion, Bowley and Eckard. Those guys went out there and led by example. That’s what made that senior class special. They weren’t in the dugout talking, they were on the field doing. That was really impres-sive to me.- Matt Fincher
