The University of South Carolina Aiken

The University of South Carolina Aiken was chartered in 1961 after entering into an agreement with the University of South Carolina to establish a two-year center in Aiken. The Aiken Center opened its doors in September 1961 to 139 students. Temporarily housed in Banksia, a renovated mansion in Aiken, the Center consisted of three full-time faculty members (one of whom served as Director of the Center). In 1968, the Center underwent an institutional self-study and was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as a branch of the University of South Carolina and as a junior college. The first associate degrees were awarded in June 1968. The campus of USC Aiken moved from Banksia to its present site in 1972 and physical changes began to occur rapidly. At first, the permanent campus consisted of 100 acres and one multipurpose building which housed all university operations. A library was completed in 1975, and additional land was donated that increased the campus to 144 acres. In October 1977, the Student Activities Center

was opened. A classroom building was occupied in 1978, and one year later, an auxiliary services building was added. An apartment complex for students, Pacer Downs, was ready for occupancy in the fall of 1984. More construction additions to the campus included completion of the Etherredge Center, Ruth Patrick Science Education Center, the Business and Education Building, and the Alan B. Miller Nursing Building. Additional land was acquired increasing the campus to 400 acres. Academic and organizational changes also occurred rapidly. The faculty formalized its organizational structure and redefined its role in the governance of the institution in 1974-75. Also, the students reorganized their governing body and more precisely defined their role on campus; the administration and staff structures were overhauled and expanded to meet the demands of the growing academic programs. When the full-time equivalent student enrollment reached 1,066

in the fall of 1975, the USC Aiken campus was permitted to plan for senior level courses and to create a number of baccalaureate degree programs. In that same year, USCA received approval as a four-year branch campus by the Board of Trustees of the University of South Carolina, and USCA was designated a Recognized Candidate for Senior College Accreditation. In September 1976, the Board of Trustees granted academic autonomy to the Aiken Campus. The first bachelor’s degrees were granted in May 1977, and USCA became a fully accredited senior college. Presently, the college community is comprised of more than 3,200 students, over 100 full-time faculty, approximately 110 staff members, and 28 administrators. USCA awards bachelor’s degrees in more than 20 major areas of study, master’s degrees in two areas, and offers a varied program of continuing education courses for the wider community. Today USC Aiken offers students a liberal education designed to develop an understanding of human experience which will equip them for life in a free society. To accomplish this, the University provides students with an opportunity to discover learning processes which enable them to grow personally and socially. It promotes students’ interaction within a community of active scholars and artists, and it encourages students to use the knowledge which they gain to deal with the problems of a rapidly changing world.

The Peach Belt Conference

Vision Statement: The Peach Belt Conference is committed to providing through its dependent collegiate members, a forum for student participation in athletic, academic and co-curricular events under the auspices of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Division II. We will exemplify the characteristics of a premier intercollegiate conference that prides itself on the inclusion of stu-dents of all demographic groups who wish to participate in a well-rounded sports program. Our institutions, our academic goals, our athletic aspirations reflect a communality of purpose and a commit-ment to excellence in the classroom and on the playing field.

History: Now entering its 21st year of existence in 2010-11, the Peach Belt Conference has become one of the elite Division II conferences in the nation. Since its inception in 1990-91, the Peach Belt has developed a consistent history of excellence which continues to this day with 29 national championships and 25 national finalists. Starting with only two championships in 1991, in men’s and women’s basket-ball, the conference has expanded to 13 championship sports with the addition of women’s golf in the fall of 2009. The conference traces its roots back to November of 1988 when 11 schools first met in Greenville, S.C. to form a Division II conference. Following a second meeting on Dec. 3, 1989, five of those 11 schools, plus two others, formed the Peach Belt and begin play in fall 1990. The Peach Belt was less than a year old before capturing a national champion-ship. The Columbus State golf team took the honor by winning the 1992 national crown, the first of three golf champion-ships the Cougars own. One year later, the Lander men’s tennis team began their record-breaking run of eight straight national titles, the first PBC dynasty. Since then, USCA men’s golf has won three straight national titles from 2004-06 while Armstrong Atlantic State women’s tennis has captured four titles overall.

The 2009-10 season was among the most successful the league has seen in its 20 years. AASU won their third consecu-tive women’s tennis national championship while the Augusta State men’s basketball team continued their unprecedented run with a third straight appearance in the Elite Eight. Flagler became the first PBC volleyball team to reach the NCAA Final Four. The North Georgia softball team was ranked #1 in the nation in every regular-season softball poll while, in all, five PBC programs were ranked #1 in the nation (Georgia College men’s golf, ASU men’s basketball, AASU men’s and women’s tennis). The seven charter members of the conference were Armstrong Atlantic State University, Columbus State University, Francis Marion University, Georgia College, Lander University, USC Aiken and USC Upstate. The name Peach Belt Athletic Conference was adopted in January of 1990 and modified to Peach Belt Conference in May of 2000. Augusta State joined the conference in 1991 and UNC Pembroke became the ninth member on July 1, 1992. They were followed by Kennesaw State University on July 1, 1994, Clayton State University on July 1, 1995 and the University of North Florida on July 1, 1997. Kennesaw State and North Florida departed for the Division I ranks in 2005, USC Upstate did the same in 2007, and the conference welcomed in North Georgia College & State University in 2005 and Georgia Southwestern State University in 2006. In 2009-10, the Peach Belt ex-panded to 13 members, the most the league has ever had, with the additions of the University of Montevallo and Flagler College. The two schools also returned a league presence to Florida and broke new ground in Alabama. David Brunk was named the second PBC commissioner in May of

for Communications

2007. Brunk replaced Marvin Vanover, who was the first PBC commissioner from 1991 to 2007. Brunk is charged with continuing the strong growth of the conference as its second era begins. Dr. Kendall Blanchard, president of Georgia Southwestern State University, began the first of his two-year term as the league president in July of 2010. The conference currently holds championships in 13 sports, six for men and seven for women. They are men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s tennis, baseball, softball and men’s and women’s golf.

Roberto Hernandez Stadium • Alumnus Roberto Hernandez

Roberto Hernandez StadiumState-of-the-Art Home Facility to Pacer Baseball

Following several successful years at J.H. Satcher Field, USC Aiken Baseball began a new chapter in its storied history. Opened Sept. 18, 2003, the Roberto Hernandez Baseball Stadium

came into existence as a major addi-tion to the facilities at USC Aiken. This 1,000-seat, state-of-the-art stadium features a beautiful grass surface with all the amenities of a top-notch NCAA Division I ballpark.

A clubhouse, players’ lounge, coaches offices, modern press box with separate radio broadcast booth, training facilities, top-of-the-line scoreboard with message center, and 850 covered seats are among the highlights. But the crown jewel is the Roberto Hernandez Hall of Fame Room. Designed to display the program’s rich heritage, generous donations by Hernandez himself got the Hall of Fame off to a roaring start. “It means a lot to me to give to USC Aiken,” said Hernandez, a 17-year veteran and two-time Major League All-Star. “Maybe there will be another Roberto Hernandez to play at USC Aiken. If it wasn’t for this school, I would not be where I am today.” The inaugural game was played on January 31, 2004 versus Carson-Newman.

Roberto Hernandez came to USC Aiken as a sophomore after spending one season as a catcher at the University of Connecticut. Upon his arrival, the USCA coaching staff transformed him into a dominating pitcher. In his one season, Hernandez posted a 10-2 record with 97 strikeouts in 94.0 innings pitched. At the plate, he belted 19 home runs. Hernandez led the Pacers to the 1986 NAIA College World Series and was named to the All-Tournament team. After his one season with the Pacers, Hernandez was the 16th pick of the first round in the 1986 Major League Baseball draft, selected by the California Angels. Following five plus seasons in the minor leagues, Hernandez made his debut with the Chicago White Sox. In his first full season, he recorded 38 saves and helped Chicago to the AL West championship. After six seasons with the White Sox, Hernandez was traded to the San Francisco Giants in 1997 where he went 5-2 with a 2.48 ERA in 28 appearances. In 1998, Hernandez began his three-

year stint with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and for the 2001 and 2002 seasons, he was the closer for the Kansas City Royals. Hernandez signed as a free agent with the Atlanta Braves prior to the 2003 season and served as a setup man for closer John Smoltz. After stints with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2004 and then with the New York Mets in 2005, Hernandez signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates for 2006. He began the 2007 season with the Cleveland Indians before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. For his career, Hernandez was 67-71 with 326 saves and a 3.45 ERA. He ap-peared in 1010 games, tossed 1071.1 major league innings, and struck out 945 batters. Currently ranked 12th all-time in saves, Hernandez is second among Latin-born pitchers. He is also a two-time All-Star. Recognized by “The Sporting News” for three-consecutive years as a “Good Guy in Sports”, Hernandez has made a habit of giving back. Aside from the one-million dollar donation to build Roberto Hernandez Stadium, he has been involved with Gloves

for Kids, RBI (Reviving Baseball in the Inner Cities), and an autograph show to benefit the hurricane disaster relief fund for Puerto Rico in the winter of 1998. Hernandez is married to Ivonne and the couple has three children: Kairy, Roberto, Jr., and Jose.

In 11 seasons as head coach of the USC Aiken baseball program, Kenny Thomas has re-established the Pacers as a force in the Peach Belt Conference and a perennial top 25 team in NCAA Division II. During the 2010 season, Thomas became the winningest coach in USC Aiken baseball history. Thomas enters the 2011 campaign with 401 wins in his time as the head Pacer skipper. Thomas also surpassed the 900-win plateau as a college head coach in USC Aiken’s win over then national No. 2 Francis Marion on Sunday, Mar. 7, 2010. Thomas concluded the 2010 season with 921 career wins. Thomas has led the Pacers to five NCAA Tournament appearances (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) in the last six seasons. The 2010 Pacer baseball team was ranked as high as sixth nationally at one point during the regular season. The Pacers finished the year with a record of 32-19, leaving the program having won 30 or more games in each of the last 10 years. USC Aiken’s 2009 baseball team ended the 2009 season tied for 10th in the final Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division II Top 30 poll. The final ranking of 10th was the highest for the Pacers under Thomas, who was chosen as PBC Conference Coach of the Year for his mentoring of the 2009 Pacers. USC Aiken ended the 2008 season ranked 11th, while they concluded the 2005 season 12th. The Pacers reached as high as No. 2 nationally in 2009 en route to their second ever Peach Belt Conference regular season championship. The Pacers’ prowess during the regular season helped USC Aiken earn top honors in the Southeast Region, enabling the program to host its sec-ond ever NCAA Division II Tournament regional. The Pacers advanced to the regional final for the second consecu-tive season before bowing out to NCAA Division II Baseball Championship semifinalist and Conference Carolinas Tournament champion Belmont Abbey

in the first game of the championship round. USC Aiken (42-19) concluded its season having been a part of its fifth consecutive NCAA Division II Baseball regional. In 2008, Thomas and his staff guided the Pacers to a school-record 47 wins and a second-place finish in the NCAA South Atlantic Regional. USCA went 47-17 overall and 18-9 in the Peach Belt Conference, finishing just one win behind PBC champion Columbus State. It was April 23, 2006 when USC Aiken knocked off sixth-ranked Francis Marion 5-2 in Aiken to notch Thomas’ 200th victory at the helm of the Pacers. The Pacers went 45-19 that season, at the time the most wins in Thomas’ USCA tenure. In 2005, Thomas’ Pacers went 40-19 including a 16-14 mark in PBC play to advance to the program’s first NCAA South Atlantic Regional in a dozen years. On February 12, 2002, USC Aiken knocked off Limestone College 14-8 to hand Thomas his 100th victory at USC Aiken while his 50th win came on April 4, 2001 in a dramatic 8-6 victory over Newberry in 10 innings. In 2004, the Pacers opened the 1,000-seat Roberto Hernandez Stadium of which Thomas and Athletic Director Randy Warrick were instrumental in securing a one million dollar donation from the 16-year Major League Baseball veteran. Since the stadium’s opening, USCA is 142-58 at the state-of-the-art ballpark for a .710 winning percent-age. In addition, USC Aiken hosted the 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Peach Belt Conference Baseball Tournaments. Thomas has seen his fair share of student-athletes go on to play professionally. Most recently, 2008 Daktronics Player of the Year and 2008 Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year Chad Jacobsen was drafted in the 18th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by the Colorado Rockies. In addition to being chosen as

As is customary for a University of South Carolina Aiken baseball team, the Pac-ers will open the upcoming year ranked in the preseason top 20. USC Aiken is ranked 20th in the 2011 Collegiate Baseball Newspaper NCAA Division II preseason poll. The Pacers are one of five Peach Belt Conference teams ranked in the preseason top 40.

We, just like everyone else, are going to have to manufacture more runs and play defense … I think our running game is going to be critical this season. We truly are going to be a run and gun type team.” To accentuate Thomas’ point the normally long ball potent Pacer offense concluded this past fall’s 16 Cardinal-Navy intra-squad scrimmages with only four home runs. Three of the four dingers came off the bat of Jowan Gray (Aiken, S.C./

South Aiken). The new bats according to Thomas will put the onus a little more on the coaches in making their players better hitters. “With the new bats, you have to be technically sound,” mused Thomas. “You have to square the ball up on these new bats. They perform almost exactly like a wooden bat.”Small ball may be the new name of the game for the Pac-ers, but Thomas admits that this year’s Pacer pitching “is even going to be more impor-tant than ever” for the Pacers to succeed. “We have a group of 14 to 15 guys that are extremely talented,” mused Thomas. “We are going to count on our guys on the mound heavily this year. It is a very talented group that includes some very strong young pitchers. These young pitchers are going to have to mature quickly for us to be suc-cessful.”

Last year, USC Aiken en-tered the season ranked in the preseason top 10 and figuring that they had some of the best depth in the entire country. The USC Aiken coaching staff learned a hard lesson that even with what is envisioned as top-notch depth, things can change very quickly as the Pacers were saddled with nu-merous injuries throughout the course of last season. “Every year, I say we have depth, but this year I feel that we really are strong at every position,” said Thomas. “We just need to prepare every player that they could see the field at any point in time since we found out anything could happen last year.” USC Aiken closed out its fall season in prime fashion with Thomas raving about his team’s productive fall. “I guess you could say we learned a lot about all of our players this fall,” Thomas articulated. “We had some sur- Nick Aranas

prises and some things that we expected.” Thomas also noted that he felt that their unique Cardinal-Navy intra-squad fall scrimmage series prepared his squad exponentially for the coming year. “The best thing about us having our 16 Cardinal-Navy games is that everyone had a chance to play,” said Thomas. “It gave some of our younger and newer players the chance for some action, while also showing the older players that there is competition behind them.” USC Aiken will commence the 2011 regular season with 18 consecutive home games. For the seventh straight year, USC Aiken will play its first three-game series of its season against Lincoln Memori-al. The Pacers and Railsplitters will begin their season-opening three-game set at 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 4 at Roberto Her-nandez Stadium. The series will conclude with two single 1 p.m. games on Saturday, Feb. 5 and Sunday, Feb. 6.
