BLUE KNIGHT BASEBALL 2O12 MEDIA GUIDE4

Mike Goldschmidt took over the Blue Knight baseball program on August 1, 2007. In his first ten monthsat the helm, Goldschmidt guided Urbana University to a win over an NCAA Division I team, a ranking ashigh as No. 3 in Region IX, and the program's first NAIA Region IX Tournament victory. During his firstseason in the Royal Blue and White, Goldschmidt achieved a major career milestone. On April 4th,Urbana defeated Walsh University 7-6 in 10 innings, landing Goldschmidt the 200th win of his headcoaching career. Immediately after the season, Goldschmidt saw the first Blue Knight baseball playersign with a major league baseball organization when junior pitcher Jaeson Hudnall inked a deal with theKansas City Royals.

Prior to the 2008 season, Urbana was picked to finish eighth in the preseason American Mideast Conferencepoll. The Blue Knights surprised many, finishing fourth and earning a berth to the Region IX tournamentwhere they shut out top-seeded Malone, 4-0. That happened to be the only shut out the Pioneers'suffered all season. Urbana advanced to postseason play by sweeping the last two games againstWorld Series qualifier and rival, Ohio Dominican. Urbana finished Goldschmidt's first year at 28-21.Ace Jaeson Hudnall was named 1st team All-Conference before signing with the Kansas City Royals thatsummer.

After the 2008 season, Urbana University left the NAIA and American MideastConference in preparation for the school's transition to NCAA Division II.

In 2009, the Blue Knights finished 23-21 and defeated their first ranked D2 opponents:University of Montevallo and Northern Kentucky University. For the second year in arow, Goldschmidt's Blue Knights knocked off another D-I opponent (Chicago State).Jordan Baker was named the D-II Independent Player of the Year, setting the singleseason school record in batting average (.497) and home runs (15). His .497 battingaverage was tops in the NCAA that season. Following his senior year, Baker signedwith the Florence Freedom in May of 2009. Other All-Independent selections fromthat 2009 team included Russ Chambers (1st team) and Dustin Lacy (2nd team).

In 2010, Urbana finished 19-21, playing mostly a D-II independent schedule thatfeatured 9 games against ranked opponents. As a team, the Blue Knights hit a robust.341. The Blue Knights placed four members on the D-II All-Independent team. AndrewHarrell, Matt Mays, and Shane Pfouts were all 1st teamers, while Brad Cockerill andMatt Murphy earned 2nd team honors.

The 2011 baseball season marked Urbana University's first as official members ofNCAA Division II. Urbana raced out to a 14-16 record despite losing 9 seniors afterthe 2010 season. Unfortunately, a rash of injuries, coupled with ambitious scheduling,sent the Blue Knights reeling down the stretch. A 10-game losing streak ended Urbana'sseason at 14-26, but the squad still managed to finish 4th in the country amongst D-IIIndependents, landing three players on the All-Independent Team. In all, Urbana lost12 games by two runs or less, all while starting four or five freshmen most games.

Goldschmidt enters 2012 with an 84-89-1 mark in his 4 seasons at Urbana. In 9seasons coaching at the collegiate level, Goldschmidt is 273-181-1 for a winningpercentage over .600. The team graduated 5 players last spring, including First TeamAll-Independent pitcher Wes Rehmert and 4 regular starters. Replacing that manyquality seniors will be difficult, but Goldschmidt has proven over and over again thathe is more than capable of overcoming adversity.

With the move to NCAA Division II behind them, Goldschmidt's team is excited aboutraising the bar in 2012. The team is now eligible for NCAA post-season play, and theprogram appears primed and ready to have a breakout year. In order to be the best,Goldschmidt is ready to take on the best in D-II, never shying away from the topcompetition in the country. The Blue Knights knocked off #30 Montevallo on SpringBreak in 2009, and they have shown they are capable of hanging with some of toptalent in their region.

Mike is married to Jodi. Together, they have a son, Mitchell (6).
