The 2013 season will not, however, be a victory lap for the Bears, Guttin insists . Fresh off a 40-22 campaign that landed MSU in Coral Gables for its eighth NCAA Tournament appearance, the Bears will enter the new year with the Missouri Valley Conferencebullseyeaffixedsquarelyontheirbacks.WithfivereturningAll-MVCperformers,including All-American hurler Nick Petree, as well as the bulk of a pitching staff that led the nation in team earned run average in 2012, Missouri State is the Valley’s preseason favorite for the second consecutive season . “I think it shows a certain level of respect that our returners — especially our pitchers — have earned around the league,” Guttin says of his team’s preseason acclaim . “We’re fortunate to have an experienced and talented group of seniors, who do a good job of providing the type of leadership we need to be competitive . But this is a tough, deep league and no one is going to hand us any-thingwithoutafight.”

On the RiseThanks in large part to its veteran cast, the Bears checked off a number of to-dos on their 2012 list, including a landmark victory over traditional power Miami on its own turf to knock the four-time national champions out of the postseason . Additionally, the Bears handed Guttin his 1,000th career victory on March 3 at Northwestern State, making the MSU

bench boss just the 46th NCAA Division I head coach to reach the milestone . But, one accomplishment in particular eluded Missouri State last spring — a Valley championship . MSUcamewithinjustahalf-gameofitsfirstMVCcrown in three years, taking two of three games fromeventualchampIndianaStateoverthefinalweekend of the regular season . The Bears then came up short in two close contests at the Valley tournament and had to sweat out an at-large selec-tion to get into the NCAA Tournament . The photo finishintheconferenceraceandprematureexitfrom the MVC Championship left MSU’s group of 10returningseniorsevenmoreintentonfinishingwhat they started . To get there, Guttin and long-time assistants Paul Evans and Brent Thomas will look, once again, to their upperclassmen . To call the Bears veteran core ‘experienced’ would be an understate-ment . MSU’s four senior pitchers enter the season with a combined 125 appearances totaling 432 in-nings of work under their collective belts . Likewise,

the Bears’ four returning senior position players have logged 433 career starting assignments in 462 games in Maroon and White . “It’s a luxury to have as many veterans back as we do,” Guttin concedes . “Most of these guys have been contributors since their freshman seasons, so they know what it’s going to take .”

The Pitching StaffSpeaking of luxuries, Evans — now entering his 25th season as the Bears’ pitching coach — will alsohavethebenefitofsevenreturnerstoastaffthat posted the lowest team ERA in all of Division I baseball a year ago . In addition to a program re-cord 2 .57 team ERA, the Bears set school records forshutouts(11)andstrikeouts(537),rankingfirstand third nationally in those categories . While MSU’s key loss off of that staff — right-hander Pierce Johnson, who was taken 43rd overall in the 2012 MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs — isasignificantone,theBearsdoretainthe services of 2012 Louisville Slugger National Player of the Year Nick Petree . All Petree did was go 10-4 with a Division I-best 1 .01 ERA en route to becomingthefirstBearandjustthesecondValleyplayer to earn Collegiate Baseball’s top national individual honor . Petree posted a school-record 38 .1 consecutive scoreless innings as part of a stretch of 73 straight innings in which he did not yield a single earned run . In addition to his national player of the year honor, Petree became the Bears’ thirdconsensusAll-AmericanandthefirsttogarnerNCBWA District Player of the Year recognition . Petree will be backed in the weekend rotation by senior right-hander Cody Schumacher, an All-MVC honorable mention and MVC Championship All-Tournamentteamselectioninhisfirstseasonwith the Bears . The junior college transfer turned it on after an injury to No . 3 starter Clay Murphy forced his move into the weekend rotation . The Topeka, Kan ., native posted a 6-1 mark with a 2 .38

behind the plate . Two-time All-MVC catcher Luke Voit made 53 starts behind the dish as a junior, throwing out 39 percent of all would-be base-stealers, while registering a career year at the plate as well . The right-handed hitting Voit hit . 298, clubbed six homers, stole nine bases and drove in a team-high 46 runs . A nagging shoulder injury relegated the Wildwood, Mo ., product to DH duty in thepostseasonandultimatelyrequiredoff-seasonsurgery to repair .After sitting out the fall campaign, Guttin believes Voit will be ready to answer the bell as a senior, giving MSU a veteran presence that knows how to handle a pitching staff . “Voithasreallygrownintoaqualitycatcher,”Guttin asserts . “He’s always had a strong arm and a plus bat, but he’s shown he can lead a staff and beastrongleaderonandoffthefield.” Backing up Voit will be the combination of sophomore Eric Cheray, who made 55 starts at shortstopasafreshmanbeforefillinginbehindtheplate during the Bears’ NCAA Regional appear-ance, and freshman Tyler Harris . Additionally, junior Conor Smith has shown that he can handle thebatoverhisfirsttwoseasonsasaBearandcouldfilltheroleofbackupbackstopaswell.

The InfieldPerhaps the biggest area of uncertainty for the Bears entering the season lies in the task of replacing three all-conference performers on the infield.GoneareAll-MVCsecond-teampicksBrockChaffinandBrentSeifertonthecorners,aswellas second baseman Kevin Medrano — a four-time first-teamAll-ValleyhonoreeandoneofthemostprolificpurehittersinMissouriStatehistory.

Additionally, his 96 strikeouts rankedfifthintheValleyand10thall-timeinasingle season at MSU . CompetitionwillbefiercefortheBearsremain-ing starting slots during the preseason . Junior transfer Tyler Thompsonfigurestohavetheinsidetrack on landing MSU’s third weekend rotation spot . The right-hander joins the Bears on the heels of a standout two-year stint at Jefferson College, where he helped his club reach the Junior College World Series appearances each season . MSU’s rotation will also be impacted by the health of Murphy, who was dominant in 10 ap-pearances last season before an April elbow injury shelved him for the remainder of the season . Murphy, who underwent Tommy John surgery in late April, is working his way back into form, but his availability as a possible mid-to-late season option remainsquestionable. Evans also expects big things from a deep and talented class of freshmen hurlers, possibly as soon as this spring . Headlining the group is right-hander Jonathan Harris, a 33rd-round selection of the Toronto Blue Jays in last June’s MLB Draft, as well as a pair of Kansas City-area lefties, Andy Cheray and Matt Hall . All three possess the versa-tilityandmentalitytostartorgivetheBearsqualityinnings out of the bullpen as rookies . The Bears’ starters will be backed by a bullpen that turned in a sparkling 2012 campaign in its own right . Bears relievers combined to hold the opposition to a .230 batting average and posted a Missouri Valley Conference-best 16 saves — just two shy of the program’s single-season record . Leading the way will be two of the top relievers in the Valley in sophomore Tyler Burgess and senior Grant Gordon . Both hurlers turned in strong summer performances in the prestigious Cape Cod League following banner 2012 seasons . From the

get-go, Burgess was the linchpin, notching either asaveoravictoryineachofhisfirstsevenap-pearances as a Bear . The lefty ultimately wrapped up the regular season with a 5-0 mark and MSU freshman record 11 saves, holding the opposition to a measley .164 batting mark en route to bringing home Freshman All-America honors . The Bears will once again look to Burgess to close out games, but Gordon possesses the ability and versatility to give MSU a solid second option . TheSalem,Mo.,nativeentershisfinalseasonasaBear already entrenched among the program’s top 10 for career mound appearances (57) and saves (8), enjoying success in nearly every role the Bears haveaskedhimtofill. With Burgess and Gordon givinig MSU a strong one-two punch at the back end of the pen, Guttin has a deep cast of characters from which to choose his other options in relief settings . Senior Erik Shannahan was more than effective over the firstmonthofthe2012season,postingsixstraightscoreless outings to begin his MSU career . A lingering shoulder injury sidelined the side-winding right-hander in late March, however, and he would missthefinaltwomonthsoftheregularseasonbe-forereturningtoworkintheBears’finaltwogamesof the NCAA Regional . Sophomore Zach Merciez also enjoyed his fair share of success as a Bear rookie last spring . The righty from Bartlesville, Okla ., proved to be a dependable innings-eater, notching a pair of saves in 18 appearances as a freshman . A trio of talented newcomers may play a feature role in the Bears’ relief efforts as well . Evans believes that Branson product Sam Perez has the ability to be a factor in the bullpen mix, and fellow freshmen Tayler Ross and Bryan Young could also help the Bears if they are able to overcome injuries that slowed them in the fall .

The Whitby, Ontario, native could once again push for time thanks to his solid glove work . Additionally, senior transfer Derek Locascio could jump into the mix at one of the corners after joining the Bears during the preseason .

The OutfieldWhilethepictureontheBears’infieldhas yet to become clear, Guttin has a muchbetterideaofwhatMSU’soutfieldwill look like . Two regular starters, plus otherreturnerswhosawsignificantplaying time last spring are back, led by 2012 A .E . “Ted” Willis MVP Keenen Maddox . Now a senior, Maddox has been a key contributor since his rookie season, but came through with his best year as a Bear in 2012 . The Ballwin, Mo ., product earned all-tournament recogni-tion at both the MVC Championship and NCAA Regional and led the club with eight homers while hitting .324 overall . Guttin expects Maddox to see the bulk of the time in left, in addition to occasionally fillingtheroleofDH. Juniors Patrick Drake and Trey Massenberg have each spent time in the Bears’ starting lineup over the last two seasons and should each see ac-tion in right . Massenberg turned in a breakthrough sophomore campaign, showing both power and speed with three home runs and a team-high six triples . Drake, meanwhile, struggled at the plate, butgavetheBearssomequalityat-batswhenitmattered most, including a key go-ahead homer to beat eventual league champ Indiana State .

2013 Preseason Polls

The 67th annual NCAA Division I Baseball Championship will conclude with the NCAA College World Series. The event is held in Omaha, Neb., for the 63rd time in its history after making the move downtown to the brand new TD Ameritrade Park in 2011. For the 15th year, the tournament will continue with a highly-successful new format which was implemented in 1999. Another significant change to the format in 2003 occurred in the World Series’ final round. The championship round is now a best-of-three showdown involving the winners of each bracket in the CWS field. The 64-team tournament field will again include 30 conferences whose champions (determined either by a league tournament or regular season play) automatically qualify for NCAA play, with the other 34 slots to be filled

on an at-large basis. A total of 291 schools sponsored Division I baseball in the NCAA in 2012. Following the conclusion of conference tournament play the last weekend in May, the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee will select and announce its 64-team field for the tourney. The teams will go into 16 double-elimination regionals of four teams each, with the regionals to be held June 1-4 either at campus or neutral sites. The NCAA will announce the 64-team field May 26. The 16 regional winners will advance to best-of-three Super Regionals at eight campus sites the weekend of June 8-11, with those sites to be announced June 5. The Super Regional winners will advance to the 67th College World Series, held at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, June 15-26. Missouri Valley Conference member Creighton University is the College World Series host. The eight teams in the CWS are divided into two double-elimination pools of four schools each. Pool winners meet in the new best-of-three championship June 24-26. All CWS games

are nationally televised on ESPN. Once the field of 64 teams is determined, the committee will select 16 teams each to receive regional seeds one, two, three and four. From the 16 No. 1 seeds, the committee will select the top eight national seeds and rank them, one through eight. The eight national seeds will be placed in separate regionals so they cannot meet before the first round of the College World Series, and the eight remaining No. 1 regional seeds will be placed geographically in the 64-team bracket for potential Super Regional meetings with the eight national seeds. Teams from the same conference will not go into the same regional and teams from the same conference who are number one regional seeds cannot meet in the Super Regionals. The 64-team field will not be reseeded once the initial bracket is announced May 26. Thirteen schools have represented the MVC in the NCAA Division I championship, including all eight current MVC baseball schools.

One of the most successful baseball coaches in Missouri Valley Conference history, Keith Guttin

began his MSU head coaching career in 1983, and has spent the past 30 seasons building the Bears into one of the top programs in the country. Under Guttin, the Bears have won 61 percent of their games, averaging 34 victories a year and racking up eight 40-win seasons. Last spring, Guttin became the 46th Division I baseball coach and the third Valley bench boss to reach the 1,000 career-win mark with the Bears’ 3-2 victory over Northwestern State on March 3. After narrowly missing out on NCAA Tournament bids in three of the previous four seasons, Guttin guided a veteran-laden 2012 MSU squad to a 40-22 season that culminated in the Bears’ first trip to the postseason since 2003. Along the way, MSU set numerous program records, including an all-time best team earned run average (2.57), thanks in large part to sophomore right-hander Nick Petree, who became the program’s first national player of the year after posting a Division I-low ERA of 1.01. Guttin, who entered the 2012 season 15th among active Division I head coaches in career victories, has been a part of the MSU baseball program as a player, assistant coach and head coach for 35 of the program’s 49 years, Guttin took the helm of Bears baseball at the start of the 1983 season, coinciding with the move of Missouri State athletics to Division I status. He inherited the reins of the program from its only previous head baseball coach, former Missouri State Director of Athletics Bill Rowe. Guttin ultimately helped stretch MSU’s string of consecutive winning seasons to 32 in a row; easily the longest of any Missouri State athletics team. The Bears have finished in the top half of the conference race in all but four of the last 39 seasons. During Guttin’s tenure, 115 Bears have signed professional contracts, including four first-round draft picks and 12 players who advanced to the Major Leagues. Additionally, MSU has won 11 regular-season or conference tournament championships and made eight Division I NCAA Tournament appearances, including seven in the last 17 years. In 2003, Guttin led the Bears to the NCAA Division I College World Series for the first time in school history and has been a conference Coach of the Year 10 times. He was selected the American Baseball Coaches Association Division I Midwest Region Coach of the Year in 1997 and again in 2003.

Missouri State returned to the top of The Valley in 2009, finishing the league schedule with a 17-5 record after sweeping Creighton and Indiana State in the final two weeks of the season. Both CU and ISU entered its series with MSU atop the MVC standings. MSU’s stellar 2009 season followed a 2008 campaign when the team went 40-17 overall, earning Guttin his 10th conference coach of the year honor. In 2007, Ross Detwiler was selected sixth overall in the MLB Draft, the highest pick in school history, and the Bears came within a win of the NCAA Tournament in 2006 before falling in the MVC Tournament finals. In 2003, MSU advanced to its first-ever NCAA Division I College World Series to cap a season in which the Bears won the MVC regular season title for the second time in three seasons. The Bears’ NCAA Tournament trip was the second straight NCAA trip and the sixth appearance in nine years. That year, Guttin garnered the American Baseball Coaches Association Midwest Region Coach of the Year award and his

second MVC Coach of the Year honor in three seasons. It was his third conference honor since the Bears joined the Valley and it was Guttin’s ninth conference Coach of the Year recognition in 23 years as a head coach. In 2002, the Bears posted their first 40-win season since 1991 and won the second-most games in school history and the most since winning a school record 47 games in 1987. Missouri State advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in eight years but the first time since 1999. In 2001, Guttin led the Bears to their first-ever MVC regular season championship and, in the process, dethroned perennial league powerhouse Wichita State. The Shockers had previously won outright or shared the Valley regular season crown in the previous 14 years, but the Bears posted a 22-10 record in 2001 and beat WSU by one game in the final league standings. While the accomplishments of Guttin’s teams on the field speak volumes about the success of his program, another dream came true in April 2004 when the Bears opened a sparkling 8,000-seat stadium just four blocks north of the Missouri State campus. The Bears finished the year ninth among NCAA Division I teams in attendance, playing only a portion of their home schedule at Hammons Field. It’s just a coincidence that the crown jewel of the Missouri State baseball program came one year after the Bears exploded onto the national college baseball radar in the College World Series. But both events show the growth of college baseball in the Ozarks and the

amount of community and administrative support the program had received in the last several years. Throughout those years, Guttin has been the face of Missouri State baseball. The Bears have finished lower than third in the league standings just five times since Guttin took over. Guttin directed Missouri State to six straight league titles in Mid-Continent play from 1984 through 1989. He gave MSU its first two Valley postseason tournament championships in 1996 and 1997. He was voted the MVC Coach of the Year in 1993, 2001, 2003 and 2008 and was selected the American Baseball Coaches Association Division I Midwest Region Coach of the Year in 1997 and again in 2003. Missouri State ran through MCC regular season and tourney play annually from 1983 through 1989. The Bears faltered only once, finishing as tourney runner-up in 1990, their final MCC season before moving to the Valley. Guttin was named MCC Coach of the Year each season from 1984 through 1989. In 1986, Missouri State had its best record ever, going 47-14. In 1987, the 38-14 Bears got their first NCAA Division I tourney bid, playing in the West II Regional in Tempe, Ariz. In 1988, the 41-17 Bears became the first team to go through regular season MCC play undefeated, and in 1989 went 41-10 for the third best winning percentage in all of Division I baseball. The 1990 Bears were 42-15 and again perfect in regular season league play. Missouri State capped the year with Guttin’s 300th win and left the Mid-Continent with the best overall, conference and league tourney marks. In 1991, Missouri State joined the Valley, reaching the 40-win plateau and finishing fourth in its first Valley campaign. In 1993, the Bears finished second as Guttin was named MVC Coach of the Year. The 1995 Bruins were second in the MVC Tournament and added an NCAA visit, playing in the West Regional in Fresno, Calif. In 1996, Missouri State won its first MVC tourney, capped by Guttin’s 500th career win, an 8-7 victory over top-ranked Wichita State in the winner’s bracket final. Missouri State won its first NCAA Division I tourney games, beating Long Beach State and UCLA to finish third in the Central I Regional in Austin, Texas. The 1997 Bears repeated the MVC crown and knocked off Texas Tech and Nevada on the way to a runner-up finish in the NCAA Central Regional in Lubbock, Texas. Missouri State was at the Fayetteville regional in 1999, finishing second with wins over Clemson and Arkansas. Guttin returned to Missouri State in 1982 after a year at Rend Lake College where he served as assistant coach to Kirk Champion as RLC claimed an Illinois JUCO sectional crown. Guttin was a Missouri State assistant under Rowe from 1979 to 1981, as Missouri State won its last MIAA title and made two NCAA appearances. Guttin had two notable seasons as the Missouri State second baseman, coming from Mineral Area College. He earned MIAA all-conference honorable mention in 1977 as the Bears made their first NCAA Division II tournament appearance in seven years. A University City native, Guttin finished his undergraduate degree at the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 1978, and earned his master’s degree in 1984 at Truman State. He and his wife, Marianne, have three daughters; Lauren, Lindsey and Samantha.

A veteran assistant coach who’s been at Missouri State alongside Bears’ head coach

Keith Guttin since he took over the baseball reins in 1983, Brent Thomas is one of the senior assistants in the Missouri Valley Conference as he enters his 31st year on the MSU staff. Thomas has been the Bears’ first base coach for six Mid-Continent Conference championship years, MVC titles in 1996, 1997, 2001, 2003 and 2009, and all eight of the Bears’ trips to the NCAA Tournament. In addition to coaching, Thomas’s duties include academic evaluation of players and game administration, as well as working with hitters and outfielders. Under Thomas’s guidance, the 2012 Bears set a new program standard for sacrifice hits, while posting a school-record .969 team fielding percentage in support of a pitching staff that led all of Division I baseball with a 2.57 team ERA. Thomas stayed with the program after his days as a Bear outfielder in 1981 and 1982. He came to MSU after earning MVP honors twice at Crowder College in Neosho, Mo. A native of Marshfield, Mo., Thomas played for the Bears’ unbeaten MIAA Southern Division champs in 1981 and the 1982 team which closed the Bears’ Division II days with a regional title and a trip to the NCAA World Series in Riverside, Calif. Thomas hit .380 for the 32-12 MSU team in 1981 as the Bears came within a game of winning the MIAA crown and advancing to NCAA play. He hit .352 his senior year as Missouri State was 31-14 and won its final Division II regional, competing as an independent.

Thomas was a four-year baseball starter at Marshfield and also played football and basketball. He was a four-year all-conference pick in baseball and two-time all-leaguer in football. Coach Thomas also coached the Marshfield American Legion team two summers. He and his wife, Debbie, have a son, Evan, and a daughter, Allie.

pitching coach in 1989 after three years as head coach at Rend Lake College. Evans also serves as the recruiting coordinator for the baseball Bears. Over the past seven seasons alone, Evans has coached three of the highest draft picks in MSU history, with Brett Sinkbeil going 19th overall in 2006, Ross Detwiler as the sixth overall pick in 2007, and Pierce Johnson as the 43rd overall pick this past spring. Detwiler made his major league debut with the Washington Nationals on Sept. 7, 2007, a mere 108 days after his final outing in a Bears’ uniform. In fact, Evans has coached four first-round pitchers in the last 12 seasons, including John Rheinecker as the 37th overall pick in 2001. A total of 52 hurlers have signed pro contracts under Evans’ tutelage, with at least one in each of his 24 seasons and eight advancing to the Major Leagues. Additionally, Evans has seen three Bears selected to pitch for Team USA: Jarrod Mays (1995), Bob Zimmermann (2001 and 2002) and Detwiler (2006). This past season, Evans guided a dominant Bears’ pitching staff that posted the best team ERA (2.57) in the country, while ranking fifth in Division I with 537 strikeouts. Both marks shattered previous MSU team records, as did the Bears’ 11 shutouts, which also led the nation.

Missouri State University’s search for its new director of athletics concluded May 28, 2009, with the introduction of Kyle Moats as the University’s 10th

A.D. Moats came to the University after serving as associate athletics director for national marketing at the University of Louisville since 2005. Moats began his duties at Missouri State in July 2009, replacing Bill Rowe, who retired after spending 27 years as Missouri State’s top athletics administrator and more than a half century at the university as a student, coach and administrator. In a busy first year on the job, Moats wasted little time in laying groundwork for the future of Missouri State Athletics. From day one he emphasized the importance of fostering a strategic vision in the current landscape of intercollegiate athletics by involving all corners of the campus community in developing a long-range plan for the MSU Athletics. Moats played a key role in Missouri State’s new partnership with Nelligan Sports Marketing (NSM), announced in February 2010. The agreement will result in the outsourcing of the departments’ marketing and corporate sales operations while maximizing revenue potential for MSU Athletics. Additionally, Moats was instrumental in MSU’s negotiations for a new multi-year television contract with KY3, Inc. Year two for Moats in Springfield saw Missouri State finish second in the 2010-11 MVC All-Sports Trophy standings--its best finish in five years. Conference titles by men’s basketball, women’s swimming and softball, as well as postseason tournament berths for both MSU basketball programs highighted the Bears’ year. In 2011-12, Moats’ third year at the helm, Missouri State enjoyed its finest campaign in nearly a decade, capturing the Missouri Valley Conference All-Sports Trophy for just the fourth time. The Bears won Valley titles in women’s swimming and diving, women’s indoor track and field, women’s basketball and women’s golf this year along with a co-championship in men’s soccer. Additionally, four MSU teams advanced to postseason play, including NCAA Tournament appearances for the Bears’ volleyball, women’s golf and baseball programs. Prior to his arrival in Springfield, Moats spent four years as associate athletics director for national marketing at Louisville. In that capacity, he coordinated the Cardinals’ efforts in national awareness, marketing, branding and group ticket sales. He also worked closely with Nelligan, which manages the exclusive marketing rights for Cardinal Athletics. Moats oversaw the Louisville band and spirit squads as the liaison with student government and student spirit groups. Prior to joining the Louisville staff, Moats served as senior associate athletic director for two years at Marquette University, where he oversaw the Golden Eagles’ Blue and Gold Fund, media relations, ticket operations, special events, licensing, radio, television, marketing and promotions and sponsorships with NSM. He also worked 14 years in the University of Kentucky athletics department, including his last three there as associate athletics director for marketing (2000-02). A native of Dixon, Ill., Moats is a 1988 graduate of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. Moats was a three-year letterwinner in golf and a student assistant basketball coach for the Cougars from 1985-88. He earned a master’s degree in sports management from the University of Kentucky in 2001. Moats and his wife, Leeann, have two children, Kirk and Lauren.

Kyle Moats was introduced as Missouri State University’s 10th director of athletics on May 28, 2009.

Contributions may be cash, gifts in kind of goods or services, matching gifts from employers, bequests or life income trusts and honorary or memorial gifts.

In the words of Tom Petty, the waiting is the hardest part, particularly for a baseball program with a long-standing tradition of excellence such as Missouri

State. But “the waiting” often makes “the arrival” all the more sweet, and the 2012 Bears’ season certainly provided its share of long-overdue gratification. After narrowly missing out on NCAA Tournament bids in three of the previous four seasons, a veteran-laden 2012 MSU squad broke through with a 40-22 season that culminated in the Bears’ first trip to the postseason since 2003. That’s only half of the story, however, as the 2012 season offered enough memorable moments and once-in-a-lifetime accomplishments to temper nearly a decade-worth of frustrations for a proud program. Absent from the scene was the exasperation from a series of NCAA Tournament near-misses, replaced instead with the implausible feats of one of the top pitching staffs in the country, a record-setting defense and countless individual achievements scarcely seen before in the five-decade history of the MSU program.

Setting the ToneFollowing a disappointing end to an otherwise memorable bounce-back 2011 season, Missouri State entered the new year as the preseason choice to capture the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title for the fourth time in the last 12 seasons under 30th-year head coach Keith Guttin. After a

rough start to opening weekend in Lubbock, Texas, the Bears rebounded to win 20 of their next 24 games to post their best start to a season in a decade. As it would throughout the season en route to establishing a new program standard for team earned run average with a Division I-best 2.57 season mark, the Bears’ pitching staff led the way. After knocking off Tennessee Tech and Texas Tech on opening weekend at the Red Raider Classic (Feb. 17-19) to kick off a five-game win streak, the Missouri State staff spearheaded a six-game run (Feb. 29-March 9) in which Bears’ pitchers yielded just six total earned runs and held the opposition to a .193 batting mark in 54.0 innings. MSU bested Stephen F. Austin twice to open play at the UTA Invitational, (Feb. 24-26) then topped host UTA before falling to Houston Baptist on the final day of the tournament. Three days later in Stillwater, Okla., the Bears recorded the first of two wins over Oklahoma State in the span of seven days. Junior right-hander Clay Murphy continued a string of dominant performances against the Cowboys by allowing just two runs while striking out 12 hitters over 15.2 innings to earn both victories. The Bears also posted their first three-game road sweep in four years at Northwestern State (March 2-4) and went on to outscore the opposition 35-9 over their six-game streak. Perhaps more notable from the NSU series was the beginning of one remarkable achievement and

the culmination of another for a pair of Bears. Nick Petree’s seven-inning, series-opening stint against the Demons kicked off one of the more improbable pitching feats in college baseball history. The sopho-more right-hander picked up win No. 2 of a personal six-game win streak. More importantly, he allowed a seventh-inning earned run—the last one he would permit until May 17, a span of 73.0 consecutive in-nings over 12 appearances. Game two of the series saw the Bears rally for a 3-2 win, marking the latest crowning achievement in the storied tenure of MSU head coach Keith Guttin, who notched his 1,000th career win. Petree combined with freshman Zach Merciez on a two-hit shutout of SIU Edwardsville (March 9) for the first of MSU’s school-record 11 white-washings on the year. A tough-luck 3-1 setback to SIUE the following afternoon ended the Bears’ win streak, and back-to-back losses to 28th-ranked Purdue and Oral Roberts slowed Missouri State’s early roll--momentarily. MSU responded with its best stretch of baseball, once again highlighted by standout pitching performances in nearly every outing. Junior right-hander Pierce Johnson dropped a complete-game 1-0 duel with ORU’s Drew Bowen (March 15), but Petree and Mur-phy picked up wins to claim the series for MSU after Luke Voit’s three-run double in the top of the ninth inning of game two handed the Bears a come-from-behind 5-3 victory. Petree combined with freshman Tyler Burgess on his second straight shutout in a 3-0 decision (March 17), and Murphy fanned a season-high 10 hitters in a 3-2 win the following day. Finally, an 8-1 road clubbing of SEMO (March 20) handed MSU its fourth consecutive win, sending the Bears into their MVC opener on a high note.

Great ExpectationsThe Bears did little to disprove the foresight of the Val-ley’s preseason pollsters on the opening weekend of conference play, steamrolling defending league champ Creighton in a three-game set at Hammons Field (March 23-25). Pierce Johnson got the ball rolling with one of the more dominant performances in school history in the first game of the series, blanking the Bluejays on five hits in a complete-game effort to give the Bears their seventh straight win in a Valley opener. Johnson, who just missed the MSU single-game strikeout record with 16 punchouts against CU, became the first Bear hurler to notch double-digit strikeout totals in four consecu-tive games and earned Collegiate Baseball’s National Pitcher of the Week honor for his effort. Not to be outdone, Nick Petree followed Johnson’s effort with a gem of his own, recording another shut-out—the Bears’ first back-to-back blankings since the 2006 season—the next day with a 7-0 victory. MSU completed the sweep with a 5-3 win over CU after falling behind by three runs in the opening inning. In

eight-inning gem in a 7-2 game two victory. Despite suffering another one-run setback in the finale (their fourth in a row), the Bears surely felt as if they came away from Eck Stadium with a victory of sorts, as Johnson returned to the mound for the first time in three weeks. The junior showed no lingering effects from a forearm strain that had sidelined him since March 30, fanning nine hitters without issuing a walk, while permitting all three WSU runs on seven hits over six innings. An 11-inning loss to Missouri (April 25) halted the Bears’ Big 12 win streak, but MSU answered with wins in five of its next six games. Petree and Burgess teamed up again to blank Southern Illinois (April 27-29) in the two clubs’ series opener, won by the Bears on Maddox’s walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth.The Salukis took game two thanks to a five-run fifth inning, but the Bears returned the favor the following afternoon by scoring seven times in their half of the fifth in an eventual 12-6 series-clinching victory. Four Bears went deep in the win, while both Maddox and Brock Chaffin drove in three runs. The Bears took a week off from Valley play, ventur-ing back to the state of Kansas for the second time in three weeks with three games at the Jayhawk Classic (May 4-6) in Lawrence. Petree fanned a career-high 12 hitters and kept his scoreless streak intact with eight shutout innings in a 7-0 win over

Air Force to kick off the weekend. The Bears blasted the Falcons again the next afternoon, 11-3, getting three hits from Medrano for the second straight day, as well as Schumacher’s fifth win in as many starts. MSU capped off the weekend with a 6-3 win over host Kansas after scoring three runs in the top of the 11th inning. Medrano was named tourney MVP after hitting .467 with six RBIs in three games at the Classic. Following their tear through the Sunflower State, the Bears took a 34-14 overall mark and a half-game lead in the MVC standings into the final two weeks of the regular sea-son. A disheartening 10-5 loss at Missouri (May 9) and a pair of close setbacks to Evansville quickly turned the tables on Missouri State, however. After Petree extended his string of consecutive scoreless in-nings to a school-record 38.0 with his 2-0 whitewashing of Evansville in the opener (May 11), UE came up with a pair of aces on the mound to take the series. Kyle Lloyd allowed just six hits over eight innings of a 3-1 Aces’ victory, and freshman Kyle Freeland took a no-hitter into the ninth inning before settling for a one-hit, complete-game 1-0 win in the finale.

all, Bears pitching held the Bluejays scoreless in 26 of the 27 innings of the series, striking out 34 while walking just five hitters.

Poll PositionRiding the crest of their sweep of Creighton, the Bears vaulted into the national rankings for the first time in three years March 26, as MSU came in at No. 29 in both the Collegiate Baseball and Perfect Game polls. MSU also received votes in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers of America (NCBWA) Top 30 for the first time in 2012 and earned 30 votes in the USA Today/ESPN Top 25 Coaches’ Poll, good for 30th among all Division I programs. For the Bears, who were ranked 31st in Collegiate Baseball’s preseason poll, the citations mark their first regular-season top 30 rankings since holding the No. 30 spot in the same poll the week of May 18, 2009. MSU extended its hot streak to a season-best eight games with a dramatic 9-8 win over Kansas (March 27) on Kevin Medrano’s walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning. Despite dropping a pair of tightly-contested games at Dallas Baptist (March 30-April 1), the Bears wrapped up a banner month with 15 wins in 19 March outings. That mark represented MSU’s best performance in a single month since going 12-2 in May 2005. The same type of consistent success eluded the Bears in April—initially, at least. After dropping two of three contests at DBU, MSU momentarily caught fire again with a two-game mid-week sweep of Arkansas State (April 3-4). Led by Keenen Maddox’s 6-for-11 effort at the plate that included a pair of home runs and six RBIs, the Bears outscored the Red Wolves 17-7. They would not be able to sustain their offensive momentum, however, fol-lowing with a bewildering weekend at Bradley (April 6-8) that saw them lose two of three games despite scoring twice as many runs as the Braves while posting a 1.12 team ERA for the series. Compounding the Bears’ frustrations was a season-ending injury to Clay Murphy (5-1 with a 1.37 ERA through 10 appearances) in MSU’s lone win of the series. Coupled with a forearm strain for Johnson that ultimately forced the right-hander to skip two starts, Murphy’s elbow injury left the Bears with a greatly-depleted weekend rotation. The Bears responded to the ad-versity in a big way, collecting wins in 10 of their next 14 outings to improve to a season-best 20 games over .500. Four MSU hurlers, led by Jake Powers’s career-high nine-strikeout effort, combined on a 3-0 shutout of Kansas State (April 11), giving the Bears their fifth straight win over a

Big 12 foe in 2012. Next, MSU found its offense again in a weather-shortened two-game sweep of Illinois State (April 13-14) that ran its home win streak to a Hammons Field-record 11 games. The Bears pounded out 20 hits in a 14-4 series-opening win, as all nine hitters in MSU’s starting lineup recorded at least two hits. The win also marked the first of five consecutive scoreless starts for Petree, who failed to finish the sixth inning for the first time in 20 career starts due to heavy lightning that postponed the game until the following afternoon with one out in the sixth inning. In game two the Bears kept the heat on ISU, striking for five early runs before cruising to a 10-4 win. A Sunday rainout of the final game of the Illinois State series that would ultimately play a crucial role in the MVC race, as well as a 1-0 setback to Saint Louis (April 17), temporarily darkened the Bears’ outlook. Once again, though, Missouri State rebounded to put itself in position for a strong finish. Perhaps the highlight of the Valley season for MSU was its first-ever regular-season series win in Wichita (April 20-22). The Bears took the first two contests of their series with the Shockers before falling, 3-2, in the Sunday finale. The Bears, just 12-38 all-time against WSU on its home field, also posted their first road shutout against the Shockers, as Petree combined with Tyler Burgess on a five-hit, 6-0 shutout in the opener. Cody Schumacher also came up big for MSU, tossing an

With Indiana State’s sweep of Southern Illinois, the Bears found themselves needing a road sweep of the Sycamores on the final weekend of the conference season (May 17-19) to secure the league title. ISU quickly extinguished those ambitions, striking for three early runs against Petree in the opener to end the right-hander’s historic streak of 73.0 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run. The Bears rallied to knot the score, but the Sycamores came up with three late runs to wrap up the MVC crown with a 6-3 win. MSU faced another uphill battle in game two after falling behind, 4-1, through three innings. But home runs by Maddox and Derek Mattea brought the Bears back, and Patrick Drake’s two-run shot in the top of the eighth proved to be the difference in a 7-5 MSU win. Johnson carried the Bears the following day, tossing eight innings of four-hit, shutout ball to beat the Sycamores, 5-0. With the victory, MSU grabbed some much-needed momentum, finishing the regular season in second place, just one-half game behind ISU, in the Valley standings.

Valley Championship Returns to Hammons FieldFor the first time in five years, the State Farm MVC Baseball Championship (May 22-26) returned to Missouri State’s home park, with the host Bears holding the No. 2 seed in the eight-team field. MSU’s opening-round matchup with Bradley featured two first-team all-conference pitchers in Nick Petree and Joe Bircher. It was the offense—particularly the Bears’—that took center stage early, however. MSU jumped on Bircher for a pair of first-inning runs, but the Braves fought back to even the score in the fourth, then scored three times over the final two frames to pull out a 5-3 victory. Missouri State struck early again in their elimina-tion game with Wichita State, tallying five runs in the

first to chase Shocker starter Kris Gardner after just 2/3 of an inning. That would be more than enough support for MSU hurler Cody Schumacher, who defeated WSU for the second time on the year with a complete-game, two-hit shutout. The 7-0 win over the Shockers extended the Bears’ stay at the Championship and set up a rematch with Bradley. MSU built a three-run advantage after scoring four times in the sixth, thanks in large part to Brock Chaffin’s mammoth two-run homer. But BU battled back again, plating a single run in the seventh before getting a clutch three-run shot from Jason Leblebijian to knot the score at 6-6 in the bottom of the ninth. After the two clubs traded two-spots in the 12th inning, Dylan Becker’s sac fly drove in the go-ahead run, and Luke Voit capped a career-best 5-for-7, 5-RBI day at the plate with a two-run single to hand the Bears an 11-8 win. Needing a victory against suddenly-red-hot Southern Illinois to force a deciding contest for a spot in the title game, the Bears got a career day from sophomore pitcher Jake Powers in another extra-inning duel. Keenen Maddox homered in the fifth inning, then drove in the tying run with a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth. But a tiring Powers could not keep the Salukis off the board in the 10th despite a valiant 9 1/3 inning effort, as MSU fell by a 3-2 score to end its quest for the MVC tourney crown. Two days later, Creighton would rally against SIU to take its second straight Valley title with an 8-6 decision.

Valley Prominent in NCAA FieldDespite its premature exit from the Valley Tournament, Missouri State was one of three MVC teams selected for the NCAA Tournament, marking the first time since the 2007 season the league earned multiple

bids and the first time in 12 years the MVC placed three teams in the Championship. Making their eighth NCAA Division I Tournament appearance, the Bears were slotted as the No. 3 seed in the Coral Gables (Fla.) Regional, where they matched up against No. 2 UCF, while top seeded Miami hosted No. 4 seed Stony Brook. Additonally, MVC Tournament champ Creighton drew the No. 4 seed in the Los Angeles Regional and faced No. 2 national seed UCLA as its opening-round opponent. League regular-season champion Indiana State secured the third seed in the Eugene (Ore.) Regional and a date with No. 2 seed Cal State Fullerton in the first round. The Bears entered the Coral Gables Regional as the three seed for the third time in their last four trips to the NCAA Tournament. In their last Championship appearance in 2003, the Bears went 3-1 against Coastal Carolina and host Nebraska to claim the Lincoln (Neb.) Regional, then swept Ohio State in the Super Regional round to advance to the school’s first Division I College World Series appearance. Missouri State, 10-7 on the year vs. the NCAA field, found itself behind the eight-ball almost immediately in its opener against 15th-ranked UCF. Leadoff hit-ter Ronnie Richardson belted a home run—the first allowed by Nick Petree all season—in the bottom of the first inning to put the Knights on top. UCF starter Ben Lively and reliever Roman Madrid would make the lead stand until the seventh, when Dylan Becker doubled and Kevin Medrano drove him home with an RBI single to even the score at 1-all. UCF reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the eighth and, following a two-hour weather delay, closed out the 2-1 decision with a scoreless ninth. Petree allowed just two runs on six hits in a complete-game effort, but the Bears could not overcome a pair of key baserunning errors and 12 men left on base, despite out-hitting the Knights, 8-6. MSU saw two runners tagged out in between third base and home plate, and failed to put any runs on the board in a pivotal eighth inning after loading the bases with nobody out. Day two of the regional offered a completey differ-ent spectacle from a frustrating opener for Missouri State. Squaring off against 22nd-ranked Miami in an elimination game, the Bears set the tone early and never let the four-time national champion Hurricanes off the mat in an eventual landslide 12-2 victory. MSU scored seven runs in the first inning to give starting pitcher Pierce Johnson enough offense to wrap up the Bears’ 40th win of the season and their first in post-season play since 2003. Keenen Maddox drove the Bears’ 15-hit attack by matching career highs with three hits and four RBIs, while Johnson established a new Missouri State record for strikeouts in a single season with a commanding eight-inning performance that helped MSU reach the 40-win plateau for the ninth time under head coach Keith Guttin. An early five-run lead had the Bears in prime position to eliminate fourth-seeded Stony Brook the following afternoon, but it would not be enough. The Seawolves scored seven times in the seventh inning to pull out a 10-7 victory and end MSU’s season.

MSU sent nine batters to the plate in scoring five times in the first inning, but SBU was able to take advantage of several key fielding miscues to crawl back into the contest. The Bears took a 7-3 lead into the bottom of the seventh, but the Seawolves finally solved the riddle of MSU starter Cody Schumacher, who allowed just three hits through the first six frames. Stony Brook would go on to beat UCF twice to capture the Regional crown before best-ing LSU on the road in Super Regional play to advance to its first College World Series.

Guttin Joins Elite CompanyThe Northwestern State series produced a landmark achieve-ment for the Bears’ bench boss, as Missouri State head coach Keith Guttin became the 46th Division I baseball coach and the third Valley mentor to reach the 1,000 career-win mark with MSU’s 3-2 victory over the Demons on March 3. Guttin, who entered the season 15th among active Division I head coaches in career victories, became the first coach at Missouri State in any sport to reach the milestone and the 20th Division I baseball coach to accomplish the feat while guiding just one school. During his tenure, 117 Bears have signed professional contracts, including 12 Major Leaguers. Additionally, MSU has made eight Division I NCAA Tournament appearances—seven in the last 17 years—and in 2003, Guttin led the Bears to the NCAA Division I College World Series for the first time in school history. Guttin has been a conference Coach of the Year 10 times with four of those coming in the Valley and six coming during the Bears’ years in the Mid-Continent Conference.

Petree Shines in National SpotlightSophomore pitcher Nick Petree’s remarkable cam-paign netted numerous All-America honors, as well as the first national player of the year citation for a baseball Bear when Collegiate Baseball tabbed the Clinton, Mo., product its 2012 Louisville Slugger National Player of the Year. Petree became the first Bear in 13 years to be selected as a first-team All-American by Baseball America. He also earned first-team All-America hon-ors from Collegiate Baseball, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and CollegeBasebal-lInsider.com, in addition to second-team recognition from the American Baseball Coaches Association and Perfect Game. Petree finished the year 10-4 with the nation’s lowest individual earned run average (1.01) and 114 strikeouts

in 115.1 innings pitched. He led a dominant Bears’ pitching staff that posted the best team ERA (2.57) in the country, while ranking fifth in Division I with a school-record 537 strikeouts on the season. The right-hander also became the first Bear to earn an NCBWA District Player of the Year citation in the 13 years the baseball writers have awarded the honor. Petree was also named a semifinalist for both the NCBWA’s Dick Howser Trophy and USA Baseball’s Golden Spikes Award, honoring the top amateur baseball players in the country. The 2012 Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Year, Petree turned in the nation’s longest scoreless-inning streak this season, working a Missouri State-record 38.1 consecutive shutout frames (April 6-May 17), as well as 73.0 straight innings without giving up an earned run (March 2-May 17). Over the course of his earned run-less streak that dated back to March 2, Petree posted nearly a 4-to-1 strikeout-walk ratio (82Ks/21 BB) and was a part of seven of the Bears’ single-season record 11 shutouts on the year. He gave up just 41 hits over the 73-inning span, including only seven extra-base hits (all doubles). Petree was at his best under pressure, holding the opposition to a mere .087 (8-for-92) batting average with runners on base. Petree paced the MVC in victories after becoming just the seventh pitcher in school history to surpass the 100-strikeout plateau in a season to rank 16th nationally and third on MSU’s single-season list. His 19 combined wins over his first two seasons as a Bear represent a Missouri State record for victories over a two-year span, matching the total of Brad Ziegler, who won seven games in 2002, before earning a school-record 12 victories in 2003.

Leaders of the PackMissouri State not only led the Valley in a number of

key pitching categories, but all of Division I baseball as well. The Bears’ captured statistical national titles in team ERA (2.57) and shutouts (11), while ranking third in strikeouts per nine innings (8.7) and ninth in strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.97). Additionally, the Bears’ overall team ERA represented the lowest for a Val-ley club over the course of a full season since Wichita State’s 2.53 mark in 1982. Individually, Nick Petree led the Valley in victories (10), ERA (1.01) and opposing batting average (.203), while Spiker Helms paced the circuit in walks (44) and Eric Cheray shared the league lead in sacrifice hits with a school-record 14. Missouri State concluded the conference season as the MVC’s top hitting (.296 BA) and pitching (1.97 ERA) team in Valley play. The Bears also posted league-high figures for on-base percentage (.369), slugging percentage (.435) and doubles (41) on the offensive side, as well as strikeouts (169), saves (4), fewest hits allowed (148), fewest runs allowed (53) in the pitching department.

Nine Bears Honored by ValleyHeadlined by Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Year Nick Petree and four-time First-Team All-MVC second baseman Kevin Medrano, a total of nine Missouri State baseball players were selected for all-conference

honors by the league’s head coaches. Petree, Me-drano and MVC Freshman of the Year Tyler Burgess were all chosen for the Valley’s first team, while four other Bears were tabbed for second-team honors and two more picked up honorable mention recognition. A three-time MVC Pitcher of the Week honoree and the 2012 Louisville Slugger National Player of the Year, Petree became the third Bear pitcher to earn top honors from the MVC in the last five seasons and the fifth MSU hurler overall to earn MVC Pitcher of the Year laurels. Medrano became the first Valley player on record to earn first-team All-MVC honors in each of his four collegiate seasons. The senior from Lee’s Summit, Mo., led the club with a .327 batting mark, while fielding a sparkling .982 as the Bears’ regular second baseman. An 18th-round pick of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2012 MLB Draft, Medrano fin-ished his MSU career second on the Bears’ all-time hits list (310). In addition to the Bears’ three first-teamers, seniors Brock Chaffin, Brent Seifert and Spiker Helms, along with junior Luke Voit were chosen for the league’s second team, while juniors Keenen Mad-dox and Cody Schumacher were named honorable mention All-MVC. Finally, both Petree and Medrano were chosen for the Valley’s All-Defensive squad. With a clean sweep of the MVC’s weekly awards by Petree and Medrano on May 7, and Pierce Johnson’s second Pitcher of the Week citation of 2012 on May 20, four different Bears captured a league-best total of eight weekly honors from the conference office

in 2012. Petree became the Valley’s first three-time honoree in 2012 with his selection as MVC Pitcher of the Week on May 14, while Medrano picked up his second player of the week nod this season and the third of his career. Petree was honored with the same award on March 19 and April 30, while Medrano was tabbed on April 2. Previously, Seifert earned MSU’s first Valley honor with a player of the week citation on March 5, and Johnson brought home his first MVC Pitcher of the Week laurel on March 26. In additon to their Valley awards, both Johnson and Petree earned national player of the week honors from Collegiate Baseball, March 26 and May 7, respectively.

Shutdown StaffCody Schumacher’s first career shutout against Wichita State in the MVC Tournament helped the Bears build on their team single-season record of 11 shutouts. MSU obliterated its previous season-high total of eight shutouts, established in 1990. Nick Petree started seven of MSU’s 11 shutouts, allowing just 27 total hits while fanning 66 hitters in 52.0 innings in those contests. One key to the Bears’ pitching fortunes this season was their ability to limit the long ball. Missouri State gave up just 15 homers all season, including just one during Missouri Valley Conference play. Prior to a fifth-inning homer by SIU’s Jordan Sivertsen on April 28, the MSU pitching staff had combined to keep the opposition in the yard for 15 straight games. The Bears had not allowed a home run at Hammons Field since March 18, a stretch of 12 consecutive home games without a round-tripper. Furthermore, Bears starters had not yielded a long ball since March 20, a span of 722 opponent at-bats over 23 games before Pierce Johnson surrendered his lone gopher ball of the season to Sivertsen. Additionally, Petree did not surrender a home run until his 108th inning of work in his 16th and final start of the season.

Medrano Caps Banner Career in StyleWith his 1-for-4 night May 9 at Missouri, Kevin Me-drano moved into sole possession of second place on the Bears’ career hits list, surpassing Bill Mueller’s total of 289. With 310 career hits, Medrano wrapped up his four-year MSU career just six hits shy of Matt Gardner’s school record total of 316 safeties. Medrano reached another career milestone May 6, reaching the top of the Bears’ career singles list with his 11th inning hit in a 6-3 win over Kansas. Medrano, who started 215 of his 217 career games, surpassed the previous MSU record of 222 singles, also set by Mueller. Medrano appeared in his 200th career game as a Bear April 29 against Southern Illinois, becoming just the 13th Bear to accomplish the feat. He did so with a 3-for-5 afternoon to lead MSU’s 13-hit attack in a 12-6 victory. The Lee’s Summit, Mo., product broke into the school’s top 10 for career doubles April 7, by matching the MSU single-game record of three two-base hits for the second time this season. His 54 doubles puts him fifth on that list, just three short of the fourth spot (Chris Curry). Medrano already sits atop the Bears’ all-time sacrifice hits list with 28 after

moving past Brooks Colvin for the career lead with a pair of sac bunts at the UTA Invitational. He also concluded his career among MSU’s top 10 in walks (7th), sacrifice flies (8th), fielding assists (3rd), at-bats (2nd) and double plays turned (5th).

History in the Ma-K-ingWith three different pitchers ranked among the Missouri Valley Conference’s individual strikeout leaders this season, the MSU staff piled up K’s at a record-setting pace in 2012. The Bears’ season total of 537 strikeouts surpassed the 2003 squad’s 530, which represented the club’s best single-season mark during the Division I era. Additionally, MSU has now surpassed the 400-strikeout mark in 12 straight seasons after accomplishing the same feat just once over the program’s first 37 years of existence. Junior Pierce Johnson ranked 13th in all of Divi-sion I baseball in strikeouts per nine innings, despite missing a pair of April starts due to tightness in his right forearm. The right-hander’s 10.75 strikeouts per nine innings ranks fourth on MSU’s single-season list (below) of pitchers meeting the qualifying minimum number of innings (1.0 IP/team game), while his strikeout total eclipsed Chad Mulholland’s Bear record of 117, set in 2003. Finally, sophomore Nick Petree ranked third in the Valley with 114 punchouts on the year, while junior Cody Schumacher ranked fifth with 96 strikeouts, good for 10th on the Bears’ single-season list.

Burgess became the first MSU pitcher on record to register either a win or save in his first seven outings as a Bear before notching his ninth save April 20 to surpass fellow Bear Grant Gordon’s freshman school record. Burgess’s season total of 11 saves ranks third on MSU’s single-season saves list.

Bear WatchingNick Petree became the third Bear to be named to a national award watch list when the sophomore hurler was tabbed for the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s National Pitcher of the Year watch list in late April. One of just 51 Division I pitchers selected for the honor, Petree joined freshman pitcher Tyler Burgess and junior catcher Luke Voit on national lists after turn-ing in one of the more dominant stretches in recent

memory by a Missouri State pitcher. Burgess was one of 45 players named to the midseason watch list for the eighth annual National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year Award, given to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I baseball, as announced by the association April 19. Burgess became the second MSU closer in as many years to be cited for the Stopper of the Year watch list after Dan Kickham’s selection a year ago. The left-hander, who ranked second in the Missouri Valley Conference with 11 saves on the season, was one of just three Division I freshman selected for the list. The Webb City, Mo., product claimed the Missouri State freshman saves record and moved past Chris Krawczyk (2006) for sole possession of third place on the Bears’ single-season chart May 6 at Kansas. Voit was one of 43 Division I catchers named to the initial NCBWA Johnny Bench Award watch list on March 7. The junior ranked second on the club and sixth in the Valley with 74 hits, while his 46 RBIs also rank sixth in the MVC. The two-time All-MVC second-teamer was also second on the team with nine stolen bases and posted a .984 fielding percentage while throwing out nearly 40 percent of all would-be base-stealers on the season.

Home Cookin’Missouri State saw its Hammons Field record 11-game home win streak come to an end with a 1-0 setback to Saint Louis (April 17). Before establishing a new home standard for consecutive wins, MSU had posted 10-straight home wins on two previous occasions since moving into the facility in 2004, with the most recent streak occurring April 11-May 11, 2008. The Bears finished the home slate 19-9, falling just two victories short of their top home win total at Hammons Field. MSU went 21-5 at home in 2008 to set the gold standard at Hammons.

Road WarriorsThe Bears held their own away from their home park as well in 2012, posting 16 wins in 25 true road games. MSU made the most of its season-opening 12-game road swing, winning nine games—including six true road tilts. Additionally, the Bears claimed wins in five of their nine neutral field games this season. By contrast, it took the 2011 MSU squad until its 27th game on April 5 at Kansas to claim its sixth road win, and the 2010 Bears only won six road contests all season long. The school record for single-season road wins is 20, established by the 2003 squad, and MSU’s streak of six consecutive road wins (Feb. 19-March 4) represented its longest since May 2009.

New Blood Brings New LifeMissouri State has received a big boost from a deep and talented crop of newcomers throughout the 2012 season. On the mound, MVC Freshman of the Year and First-Team All-MVC reliever Tyler Burgess went 5-2 with a 2.08 ERA and a MSU freshman record 11 saves. Junior college transfer Cody Schumacher has also made an impact, picking up honorable mention All-MVC recognition after going 8-1 with a 3.71 ERA

as a member of the Bears’ rotation. The Bears’ lineup received a lift from everyday shortstop Eric Cheray, who started 55 games in his debut season. Cheray made 49 straight starts at shortstop, hitting .287 for the year with a school-record 14 sacrifice bunts. From April 25-29, he led the Bears with a .462 average at the plate and drove in the tying and go-ahead runs in MSU’s 12-6 win over Southern Illinois on April 29. The Topeka, Kan., product hit his first homer as a Bear in the third inning, then provided what would prove to be the game-winning RBI with a fifth-inning double. Other key newcomers, such as freshman outfielder Dylan Becker (2 HR, 16 RBI), freshman reliever Zach Merciez (37.2 IP, 2 saves) and junior reliever Erik Shannahan (1.08 ERA) also made significant contributions to the Bears’ cause.

Bears in the MLB DraftPierce Johnson and Kevin Medrano capitalized on standout Missouri State careers to become the latest Bear to be selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft in early June. The Chicago Cubs selected Johnson in the Comp Round with the 43rd overall pick, making the right-hander the Bears’ highest overall draftee since the Washington Nation-als selected Ross Detwiler with the sixth overall pick of the 2007 Draft. In three seasons with the Bears, Johnson compiled an 11-13 overall mark and a 4.25 ERA in 49 career appearances, including 29 starts. His 227 strikeouts over 216.0 innings rank fifth on the Bears’ career list. Medrano began his pro career in 2012 as well after the Arizona Diamondbacks nabbed the infielder in the 18th round with the 573rd overall pick. The Lee’s Sum-mit, Mo., product batted .346 over 217 career games with the Bears, the latter figure ranking seventh in Missouri State history. He also ranks second all-time at MSU in hits (310) and fielding assists (568) and holds the Bears’ career records for singles (241) and sacrifice hits (28). The author of 93 multi-hit games, Medrano was a two-time MSU Team MVP and a 2009 Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American. He also hit .410 as a sophomore in 2010, recording a 29-game hit streak that ranks second in MSU history. Additionally, senior outfielder Spiker Helms signed a professional deal with the Kansas City T-Bones of the independent American Association in late June. A two-year letterwinner for the Bears, Helms hit .286 and started all 118 games of his career, earning Second-Team All-MVC honors in 2012. With the three signings, Missouri State upped its total number of professionals to 124 over its 49 years as a varsity program.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Separated geographically by less than two miles, the baseball programs of Missouri State University and Drury University came together for the first time on the diamond September 29, with a common mission in mind. The Bears and Panthers squared off at Hammons Field in the “Battle For Bell,” a nine-inning exhibition contest to benefit for-mer MSU shortstop and Glendale High School head coach Howard Bell in his fight against Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Bell, who was diagnosed with ALS—commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease—in December of 2011, shares close connections with both the MSU and DU baseball programs. A three-year letterwinner for the Bears under current head coach Keith Guttin, Bell capped his collegiate career with a standout 1986 campaign in which he was honored as Mid-Continent Conference Player of the Year after hitting .396 and helping MSU to a school-record 47 victories and its

third straight AMCU Tournament title. While the story of the night at Hammons Field was that of two cross-town rivals coming together for the first time for a common cause, a crowd of 3,753 also saw the Bears hold off the Panthers on the diamond to claim a 4-2 victory. The contest brought out MSU’s largest home crowd in six years, raising more than $22,000 for Bell in his fight against ALS. The Bears scored all four of their runs in the first two innings, then relied on a strong effort from their bullpen to earn the win. It was the Missouri State pitching staff doing most of the heavy lifting, as senior right-hander Cody Schumacher worked three scoreless innings to lead the Bears’ relief charge. Senior shortstop Travis McComack paced the MSU

offense by reaching base in all four trips to the plate, scoring two runs and driving in another. After Drury took a 1-0 lead in the first inning against MSU starter Nick Petree, the Bears wasted little time in answering the Panthers’ early tally, striking for a pair of runs in their half of the first to claim the upper hand for good. Dylan Becker kick-started a two-run rally with a lead-off single to center, beginning a parade of four straight

Bears to reach base against DU starter Will Landscheft. McComack drew a walk, and Keenen Maddox and Koby Peebles followed with back-to-back base hits to produce MSU’s first run of the night. After Spencer Johnson went down swinging for the second out, a Landscheft wild pitch allowed McComack to come home with the go-ahead run. MSU added to its lead the following inning with a run-scoring triple by McComack and an RBI double by Peebles to stretch the lead to 4-1. Entering the game in the third inning, Schumacher would hold the Panthers in check with a perfect three-inning stint in relief of Petree. The senior fanned three and retired all nine hitters he faced to keep it a three-run game into the sixth inning.

The Panthers scratched out a run in the top half of the sixth, thanks to singles by Dallas Williams and Scott Chesbro--the first Drury hits since Jones’s lead-off hit in the first. A Grant Gordon wild pitch brought Williams in to slice the MSU lead to 4-2, but Gordon got Nick Thimesch and Brett Neill on ground balls to avoid further damage and squash DU’s last real threat of the game.

Missouri Valley Conference Championship History

MSU was a member of the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association from when the MIAA added baseball in 1966 until MSU left the league in 1981. MIAA baseball was played in divisions from 1966 to 1970, and again starting in 1979, with MSU competing in the Southern Division. From 1971 to 1978, league teams played a round robin schedule to determine the conference champion. #MSU MIAA League Championship Series results against Northern Division winners: 1969: MSU beat Northwest Missouri State, two games to none, in Springfield; MSU champion 1970: MSU beat Central Missouri, two games to none, in Warrensburg; MSU champion 1979: MSU beat Northwest Missouri State, two games to one, in Springfield; MSU champion 1980: Northwest Missouri State beat MSU, two games to none, in Maryville; Northwest Missouri State champion 1981: Central Missouri beat MSU, two games to one, in Springfield; Central Missouri champion

The first Mid-Continent Conference championship was decided by a double elimination tourney in Chicago involving all seven league schools. MCC regular season baseball was played in divisions beginning in 1985, with the top two teams in each division advancing to a league tournament. The 1985 tourney was held in Charleston, Ill., and returned permanently to Chicago in 1986. The MCC champ did not get an automatic NCAA berth. +MSU results in MCC Championships: 1984: MSU lost to Eastern Illinois, beat Cleveland State, Illinois-Chicago, Western Illinois, Eastern Illinois and UNI twice; MSU champion 1985: MSU beat Valparaiso, beat Eastern Illinois twice; MSU champion 1986: MSU beat Illinois-Chicago, beat Western Illinois twice; MSU champion 1987: MSU beat Valparaiso, beat Eastern Illinois twice; MSU champion 1988: MSU beat Illinois-Chicago, beat Eastern Illinois, lost to Eastern Illinois, beat Eastern Illinois; MSU champion 1989: MSU beat Illinois-Chicago, beat Cleveland State, lost to Eastern Illinois, beat Eastern Illinois; MSU champion 1990: MSU beat Akron, lost to Illinois-Chicago, beat Eastern Illinois, lost to Illinois-Chicago; finished second; Illinois-Chicago champion

MSU joined the Missouri Valley Conference in 1990 and first played in the MVC tournament in 1991. The MVC tourney is a double elimination event which has, in some years, involved all of the league’s baseball schools. Beginning in 1992 and lasting through 2009, only the top six teams in the final regular season standings advanced to the league meet. In 2010, the tournament expanded to include all eight league schools, as UNI departed following the 2009 season. The tourney champ receives the MVC’s automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. Since the Bears joined the league, the tournament has been held in Wichita, Kan. (1991-1994 and 1996-1997, 1999-2003, 2005-06, 2008-10), Springfield, Mo. (2004, 2007), Springfield, Ill. (1995), Evansville, Ind. (1998) and Omaha, Neb. (2011).

Retired Numbers

Bill RoweOn Saturday, May 8, 2004, former head baseball coach and director of athletics Bill Rowe became the first person in the 48-year history of the MSU baseball program to have his number retired. Rowe guided the baseball

Bears as head coach for 19 years from the start of the program in 1964 through its final season in NCAA Division II in 1982. He led the Bears to a 394-230-1 record and four Division II College World Series appearances. Under Rowe, the Bears finished as national runners-up in 1969 and finished third nationally in 1970 (just the sixth and seventh years of the program). As athletic director, Rowe guided the Bears from Division II to Division I and saw the Bears change leagues from the MIAA and Mid-Continent Conferences to a current membership in the Missouri Valley Conference. The retirement ceremony for Rowe’s jersey was held prior to the Bears’ doubleheader against Illinois State. The indoor practice facility at Hammons Field also bears Rowe’s name as of January 30, 2010.

Ryan HowardOn Dec. 18, 2010, Missouri State retired the No. 6 jersey of former Bear and 2006 National League Most Valuable Player Ryan Howard at JQH Arena. A St. Louis native who played at Missouri State from

1999-2001, Howard finished his collegiate career with 50 home runs, 183 RBIs and a .335 career average in 172 games. He was the 1999 Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year and MSU’s A.E. “Ted” Willis Most Valuable Player in 2000. Since being drafted by Philadelphia in the fifth round of the 2001 draft, Howard has enjoyed a standout professional career. His long list of accomplishments as a member of the Phillies includes 2005 National League Rookie of the Year, 2006 NL MVP, 2006 Home Run Derby champion, 2008 World Series champion, 2009 NLCS MVP and three All-Star selections. Howard debuted with the Phillies in 2004, accumulating a career batting average of .275 with 286 homers and 864 RBIs in 1,027 games over eight seasons.

From early beginnings to its current stand-ing on the map of college athletics, the Missouri Valley Conference continues to

be proactive. As The Valley enters its 106th sea-son of athletic competition in 2012-13, the na-tion’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference continues to be a leader in college athletics and is one of the nation’s most progressive confer-ences. In what has become a wild, unpredictable age in collegiate athletics, the Missouri Valley Confer-ence has remained strong and stable. Notably, 19 of the nation’s 31 Division I conferences have new membership for this season, and all but five of those conferences have undergone a transfor-mation in membership since 2000. Notably, the Missouri Valley Conference’s current 10-member composition has remained the same since 1996 – and only two leagues (Ivy, Patriot) can match that continuity. League members have worked together to focus on common goals and objec-tives, putting a high value on league harmony while continuing to invest in athletic programs to compete at the highest level. The Valley brand remains very strong, both regionally and nationally, and the great athletic tradition of The Valley remains a compelling force in recruiting student-athletes and in mar-keting all the MVC programs. In 2010, The Valley took a major step toward ensuring current revenues in television media and tournament sponsorship sales would be guaranteed in future years when it announced a 10-year partnership with Learfield Sports. The Jefferson City, Missouri-based company now has the exclusive sales and marketing rights to MVC assets that include championships and television advertising. During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley’s ninth and longest-tenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hosting NCAA events in St. Louis. Since 1998, the MVC served as host for a staggering nine NCAA tournament events in the 13-year period, which has made St. Louis one of the most frequent stops on the NCAA Tournament trail. The Valley hosted Wom-en’s Final Fours in 2001 and 2009 and the Men’s Final Four in 2005. The league will host an NCAA second- and third-round men’s basketball event in Kansas City in 2013 and has already assisted Creighton with preliminary round men’s events in both 2008 and 2012.

The seeds for the creation of the conference were planted by eight administrators represent-ing five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The five schools which formed the Missouri Valley Inter-collegiate Athletic Association were Washington University of St. Louis, and the state universi-ties of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two months after the initial meeting, two more schools -- Drake University and Iowa State Col-lege -- were admitted. In the fall of 1907, basketball became the first competitive sport. Today, the Missouri Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: base-ball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country and track & field (indoor and outdoor), men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swim-ming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball. This season, the league will conduct its 102nd outdoor track and field championship, its 95th tennis championship, its 59th baseball tourna-ment, and its 75th golf championship for the men. Those programs, plus other current spon-sored sports of cross country (54 years), indoor track (46), men’s soccer (22) and swimming and diving (19), have helped solidify The Valley as one of the nation’s most respected conferences. Athletic accomplishments include four NCAA national basketball championships, 16 trips to the NCAA Final Four, a 1989 national baseball championship and 19 College World Series qual-ifiers. The league owns a total of 30 post-season national team championships, including Wichita State’s men’s basketball NIT title in 2011. In 2001, Missouri State added to The Valley women’s accomplishments, as the Lady Bears advanced to the Women’s Basketball Final Four in St. Louis. Creighton (2004) and Missouri State (2005) have claimed national championships (WNIT) in women’s basketball. MSU also has a 1992 NCAA Women’s Final Four appearance, and Creighton (2003), Drake (1999) and Illinois State (2009) have made semifinal trips to the WNIT postseason tournament. League members include Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Central Arkansas and SIU Ed-wardsville are affiliate members in men’s soccer.
