Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week
Matt Hall, Jr., LHP, Missouri State
Matt Hall limited Bradley to four hits while striking out 12 batters over 8.0 shutout
innings to notch his ninth victory of the season in Missouri State’s Valley-clinching
2-0 win over the Braves Thursday. Hall recorded his third consecutive double-digit
strikeout effort and his sixth in 14 starts this season to continue an impressive
stretch that has seen the left-hander allow just one run over his last three starts.
The junior retired 12 of the final 13 batters he faced, allowing just a two-out walk
in the eighth before striking out his 12th hitter to conclude his night.

MVC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT RELEASE
MAY 18, 2015
Tournament Set
Missouri State (18-3 MVC) earned the top
seed at the Missouri Valley Conference Baseball Tournament, as the Bears claimed their
fourth regular-season title (first since 2009)
in program history.
Dallas Baptist will be the No. 2 seed after registering a 15-6 MVC record.
Bradley and Wichita State both finished with
identical 10-11 MVC records, but the Braves
won the season series against the Shockers
(2-1), making Bradley the No. 3 seed and
Wichita State the No. 4 seed.
Similarly, Evansville and Indiana State each
finished with 8-13 MVC records, but the
Purple Aces took two-of-three games in the
season series against the Sycamores and will
earn the No. 6 seed, making Indiana State the
No. 7 seed.
Southern Illinois (6-15 MVC) will be the No. 8
seed in this week’s MVC Tournament.
Wichita State to Host
Wichita State will serve as host for the 2015
Missouri Valley Conference Baseball Championship for the 26th time in school history,
from May 20-23. The 2015 event will take
place at Eck Stadium-Tyler Field, one of the
premier college baseball facilities in the country. Eck Stadium has been the home of the
Valley Baseball Tournament for 22 of the last
33 seasons.
Tournament Top Dog
Wichita State boasts 97 MVC Tournament
wins, the most in the league, and the Shockers also hold the league’s top winning percentage (.677) in tournament play (minimum 10
games). Just one other team that has played
at least 10 games – Indiana State – holds an
overall winning record in the MVC Tournament
(63-53, .543).

Top Two Seeds Dominate
If history is any indication, being the No. 1
seed has its benefits as more MVC Tournament champions (15) have come from the top
spot than any other seed dating back to 1981.
The No. 2 seed has claimed 10 tournament
titles, while no other seed has won more than
four championships.

Defending?
Dallas Baptist looks to defend its title at the
2015 MVC Baseball Championship for the
first time in school history. Teams have won
back-to-back titles eight times in league history, including three three-peats and one
four-peat – Creighton (11-12); Indiana State
(83-84); Missouri State (96-97); and Wichita
State (87-88; 91-92-93; 98-99-00; 02-03-0405; 08-09).
Host Team Success
Dating back to 1981, host institutions have
been the tournament champion 14 times in
34 years, most recently in 2011 (Creighton),
while they have been the tournament runnerup an additional seven times. Wichita State
and Creighton are the only tournament hosts
to have ever won on their home fields.
Speaking of the Host
Wichita State has been a hot team at Eck Stadium recently, as the Shockers have won their
last nine games at home, dating back to April
24. In fact, the last team to beat Wichita State
on its home field was Illinois State, which the
Shockers will face in their opening game of
the MVC Tournament on Wednesday evening.
Watch the Tournament
Fans can follow the MVC Baseball Championship on ESPN3 (www.espn3.com) for all
games played May 20-23. ESPN3 – ESPN’s
web-based platform – has 85 million unique
users and an additional 21 million unique users on college campuses and military bases.
Indianapolis-based WebStream Productions
will produce all 13 (or 15, including if-necessary games) of the tournament for ESPN3.
All games can be seen exclusively live on
ESPN3. Watch online at ESPN3.com, WatchESPN on your computer, tablet or mobile
device.
Tight Races
Since the start of the 21-game conference
schedule in 2010 (three-game series), the
top two places in the regular-season standings have been separated by just one game
in every year except two – in 2013 when firstplace Illinois State had a three-game lead
over second-place Creighton heading into the
MVC Baseball Tournament – and again this
season, as Missouri State claimed the regular-season title with a three-game lead over
Dallas Baptist.
Bear Down
Missouri State’s 18-3 (.857) league mark in
2015 represents its best in 25 MVC seasons,
as well as the top finish for any Valley regularseason champion since Wichita State went
28-4 in 2004 (.875).
Over the Hill
Missouri State (41-10) and Dallas Baptist (4111) have passed the 40-win plateau this season, as just 14 NCAA Division I teams have
accomplished the feat already this season.
The Bears have posted 40 or more wins six
times since in the last 25 seasons (1991,
2002, 2003, 2008, 2012 and 2015), with
the most wins (43) coming in 2002. Missouri
State’s 41-10 (.804) winning percentage is
the Bears’ best since joining the Missouri Valley Conference. The .804 overall efficiency is
also the seventh highest in Valley history over
the last 25 seasons.
Since joining the Division I ranks in 2004, Dallas Baptist has had 30+ wins in a season in all
but one year (2010), but the Patriots reached
the 40-win mark during the regular-season
for the first time since becoming a NCAA DI
program. Dallas Baptist also won 40 or more
games in 2011, 2012 and 2014, but each of
those seasons included postseason play.
30 Rock
Bradley surpassed 30 wins for the seventh
time in the last 25 seasons, and the first time
since 2007, after the Braves finished regularseason play at 32-18. Bradley’s .640 overall
winning percentage is the third highest since
the 1991 season.
Rank and File
Both Missouri State and Dallas Baptist remain
in numerous top-25 polls entering this week.
The Baseball America poll holds the highest
ranking for both teams, as the Bears check in
at No. 8, while the Patriots rank No. 11.
Bradley is also receiving votes in the latest
(May 11) NCBWA poll.

MAY 18, 2015
Streaking
Missouri State is currently riding a 12-game
winning streak, its longest since the 1999
season.
The Bears 12 consecutive wins rank as the
third best active streak in the nation, joining
Miami (Fla.) and St. John’s.
Only Illinois (26) and Southern Miss (13) have
longer active winning streaks than Missouri
State.
Road Warriors
Missouri State’s 18-4 (.818) road record is
the nation’s third-best winning percentage in
away games this season. The Bears are one
of just five teams to have lost four or fewer
games on the road in 2015.
Valley RPI Ranks No. 5
According to the latest RPI update from
WarrenNolan.com (May 18), the Missouri
Valley Conference ranks No. 5 amongst 32
leagues, up one position from last week. Three
of the Power-Five conferences (SEC, ACC and
Pac-12) hold three of the top five positions,
while the American Athletic Conference is the
only non-Power Five league ahead of the MVC.
The Valley ranks ahead of both the Big 12
(6th) and the Big Ten (7th) in terms of conference RPI.
Three in RPI’s Top-25
Three league teams continue to rank in the
top-25 of the RPI, led by Dallas Baptist (No. 1),
Missouri State (No. 8) and Bradley (No. 21).
Another two teams, Indiana State (No. 96)
and Evansville (No. 98), also rank in the RPI’s
top-100.
The Company We Keep
With Dallas Baptist (No. 1) and Missouri State
(No. 8) each in the RPI’s top-eight, the Missouri Valley Conference trails only the SEC
(No. 5 LSU, No. 6 Florida and No. 7 Texas
A&M), which has three teams in the RPI’s topeight. The Valley is the only other league to
have at least two teams in the RPI’s top-eight.
Marginal
Dallas Baptist (+3.1, T-10th) and Missouri
State (+3.1, T-10th) both rank in the nation’s
top-10 in scoring margin. The Patriots and
Bears are two of 12 teams that have an average winning margin of 3.0 or higher.

NOTEWORTHY
In addition to the league’s player and newcomer of the week selections, several conference players had notable performances, and
they include:
Camden Duzenack (DBU) – Duzenack led the Patriots
with a .429 average (6-for-14) last week. Duzenack was
also tops on the team with a .500 on-base percentage and
.571 slugging percentage. The Patriots’ short stop ripped
two doubles over the week and also collected three RBI.
In the field, Duzenack made only one error in 15 chances.
Mason Snyder (ILS) – Snyder was solid in the final games
of his career at Duffy Bass Field over the weekend as the
senior infielder posted a slash line of .333/455/.667 over a
three-game stretch against Indiana State. Snyder’s biggest
hit was a two-run home run in the eighth inning in the second
game of a doubleheader Friday, giving the Redbirds two key
insurance runs the Redbirds needed, as Indiana State got
both of those runs back in the ninth, in an eventual 5-4 Illinois
State win. For the season, Snyder is slashing .302/.418/.471
with 14 doubles, six home runs and 41 RBIs.
Connor McClain (INS) – McClain started all four games
for the Sycamores the last week, earning six hits. McClain a
pair of two-hit contests to go with four runs scored and two
RBI. In the finale with Illinois State McClain scored two runs,
which proved to be the difference in the 5-3 10-inning affair
which dropped Illinois State from a potential No. 3 seed in
the Valley Tournament.
Spencer Johnson (MSU) – Johnson led the red-hot Bears
with a .583 (7-for-12) batting average last week to help MSU
clinch its fourth Valley title with a three-game sweep of Bradley. Johnson doubled four times in the series, scoring three
runs while driving in four more. The Springfield, Mo., native
reached base safely in each of his five plate appearances
in Saturday’s 9-2 win, going 4-for-4 with a walk, two doubles
and three RBIs. He also went 2-for-4 with a walk in Sunday’s
regular-season finale, doubling home another run as part of
MSU’s six-run fourth inning that put the game out of reach.
Brandon Koch (DBU) – Koch went 1-0 with one save and
a 1.80 ERA in his three appearances last week. In a 2-1 win
over Wichita State on Thursday, Koch earned his 14th save
of the season, as he came on the eighth inning to close out
the Shockers the rest of the way. In the rubber match of a
three-game series with Wichita State on Sunday, Koch came
out of the pen in the seventh and worked three scoreless
innings to earn the win. Over the final two innings, Koch
recorded the final six outs by strikeout.
Will Headean (ILS) –
Headean pitched the Redbirds
to a win over Indiana State on Friday to help the Redbirds
split a doubleheader with the visiting Sycamores. Headean
scattered five hits and allowed two runs (only one earned)
over seven innings. He walked four and struck out three in
the Redbirds’ 5-4 victory. For the season, Headean is 5-4
with a 3.65 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 88.2 innings of work.
Austin Conway (INS) – Making two appearances out of
the Indiana State bullpen, Austin Conway earned a save and
a win last week. In his four innings pitched, Conway gave up
one hit, a single in the 10th inning against Illinois State. In
the opener with the Redbirds, Conway pitched the last 1.1
innings, striking out two. It marks the first time that a pitcher
has earned a win and a save in the same week since Ryan
Keaffaber did it on the week of Mar. 8-14, 2014. Keaffaber
transitioned to a starter and won his contest after throwing
in 6.1 innings against Canisius.
Connor McFadden (SIU) –
McFadden gave Southern
Illinois two strong innings out of the bullpen in SIU’s 9-2
loss at St. John’s. McFadden held the Red Storm hitless in
his two innings of work while striking out three batters and
only giving up one walk.
Taylor Goshen (WSU) – Goshen made two appearances
out of the bullpen for the Shockers against Dallas Baptist.
On Thursday, he went 1.2 shutout innings with no hits and
four strikeouts. On Friday, he earned the win and went 3.1
shutout innings with no hits and four strikeouts.

MVC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT RELEASE
MAY 18, 2015
BRADLEY (32-18, 10-11 MVC)
DALLAS BAPTIST (41-11, 15-6 MVC)
Braves Earn No. 3 Seed
Over the Hill
Bradley tied for third in the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season
standings with Wichita State, both with 10-11 league records, and the
Braves earned the No. 3 seed for the MVC Baseball Championship by
virtue of its 2-games-to-1 series win versus the Shockers April 17-19 at
Dozer Park. The tie for third and No. 3 seed both are the best for the Braves
since 2007 and mark just the third time the Braves have finished as high
as third in the league standings since their second-place finish in 1987.
Dallas Baptist finished the regular season at 41-11, making it the first
time in school history that the Patriots have won 40 games in the regular
season. On the road, Dallas Baptist posted the second most total wins
in the nation, as the Patriots went 19-7 with a .731 win percentage. At
home, the Patriots compiled a 22-4 record and an .846 win percentage,
making it the club’s best win percentage at home since the 2012 team
went 25-3 with a .893 win percentage at home.
Ashbeck Named Olerud Award Semifinalist
Hurlers’ Hoopla
Bradley junior P/DH Elliot Ashbeck was named one of 21 semifinalists for the John Olerud Two-Way
Player of the Year Award last Thursday night. Ashbeck leads the 21 semifinalists with 10 pitching
wins and he will enter the MVC Tournament at 10-4 with a 3.34 ERA as Bradley’s No. 1 starter.
Ashbeck is Bradley’s primary designated hitter when he is not pitching. With two doubles and
three RBI in Bradley’s regular-season finale, Ashbeck is batting .291 and leads the Braves with
12 doubles and 29 RBI, despite hitting in just 32 of Bradley’s 50 games.
The Patriots’ 2015 pitching staff has recorded one of the finest seasons in the program’s NCAA
Division I history, dating back to 2004. With a staff ERA of 3.47, only the 2004 club’s 3.28 ERA
ranks better than this year. Leading the way for the Patriots’ staff is the team’s first 10-game
winner since 2011 in Joseph Shaw and a closer in Brandon Koch, who is just three saves away
from establishing both a new all-time career saves record and the single-season saves record
at Dallas Baptist.
Godinez Returns to Action
Success of Salters
After missing six-straight games with a hamstring injury suffered April 29 at Milwaukee, Bradley
leadoff hitter and second baseman Chris Godinez returned to action during last weekend’s series
at Missouri State. Godinez was the DH in the first two games of the Missouri State series, before
returning to second base for Saturday’s series finale. He was 2-for-7 with a double during the
series, but continued to show a remarkable eye at the plate by drawing five more walks. Godinez
has reached base safely in 26 consecutive games, including the last 10 games with at least one
walk. In his last 10 games, Godinez has drawn 19 walks, helping him to a .492 on-base percentage. Godinez’ 40 walks on the season equal the second-most in Bradley history, just one shy of
the school-record 41 free passes to Jeff Fry in 1976.

Dallas Baptist catcher Daniel Salters has been one of the nation’s top arms behind home plate
in throwing out base stealers this year. Entering last week, the junior catcher ranked second in
the nation in caught base stealing percentage. Salters finished the regular season having thrown
out 48-percent (21-of-44) of would-be base stealers. Salters has also shined at the plate this
year, having hit .339 with three home runs and 21 RBI dating back to March 28, when he broke
out of a slump with a game-winning hit versus Illinois State.

MVC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT RELEASE
MAY 18, 2015
EVANSVILLE (29-22, 8-13 MVC)
Kaczmarksi’s Hot Bat
Senior Kevin Kaczmarski was named a semifinalist for the 2015 Dick
Howser Trophy, presented by Easton Foundations, the organization
announced last week. The award is bestowed upon the top college
baseball player and is based on two rounds of national voting by
the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA). An
outfielder from Cary, Ill., Kaczmarski leads all Division I baseball
players in batting average (.478), on-base percentage (.554), triples
(9), and triples per game (.20). He also has the third best slugging percentage (.753)
in the nation. Kaczmarski leads the Purple Aces in batting average, hits (85), doubles
(19), triples (nine), runs batted in (55), total bases (134), slugging percentage, on-base
percentage, and stolen bases (13). He put together a career-high 22-game hitting streak
earlier this season and has only gone hitless in five of his 44 games played this spring.
Statistically Speaking
Statistically, Evansville is led offensively by outfielder Kevin Kaczmarski. His .478 batting
average, 85 hits, 19 doubles, nine triples, 55 RBI, 134 total bases, .753 slugging percentage, .554 on-base percentage and 13 stolen bases are all team-highs. Outfielder Josh
Jyawook (.320), and infielder Jonathan Ramon (.314) also have above .300 batting averages
for the Purple Aces. Righty Ryan Billo has a team-low 3.42 ERA. Eight different Evansville
pitchers have recorded at least one win including seven from Billo and six by left-hander
Brodie Harkness. The team is cumulatively hitting .279 this season with a 4.78 team ERA.
ILLINOIS STATE (27-25, 9-12 MVC)
Third Time’s the Charm?
Illinois State has advanced to the championship game of the
Missouri Valley Conference Tournament in each of the past two
seasons, and will look to do so again when it heads to Wichita this
week for the league tournament. The Redbirds came up short in
the title game in both of those previous attempts, but are hoping
to find out if the third time is a charm this week.
Record Hunting
Illinois State junior left-hander Jacob Hendren will be searching for his 11th win of the
season when he gets the start against Wichita State in the Redbirds’ opening game of the
MVC Tournament Wednesday. Hendren is currently tied with two others for Illinois State’s
single-season wins record. He is also currently tied for the Valley lead in wins this year.
Senior Sendoff
Illinois State bid farewell to four players who earned their degrees this spring when it
hosted Indiana State in the final game of a three-game series on Saturday. Redbird seniors
Dennis Colon, Paul DeJong, Logan Leverett and Mason Snyder were honored before the
regular-season finale.

MVC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT RELEASE
MAY 18, 2015
INDIANA STATE (27-24, 8-13 MVC)
Seed Spoilers
Title Town
The Sycamores won just one Missouri Valley Conference series this
season, taking two of three from Illinois State in the final series of the
regular season. Indiana State defeated Illinois State 5-3 in 10 innings
at Duffy Bass Field on Saturday afternoon. The loss cost the Redbirds
a chance at the No. 3 seed in this week’s MVC Tournament. Instead
with the loss, Illinois State is the No. 5 seed and will face host and No.
4 seed Wichita State.
Missouri State locked up its fourth regular-season Valley title with its sweep
of Bradley and its eighth conference championship overall under the
direction of head coach Keith Guttin. Additionally, the Bears 18-3 (.857)
league mark represents its best in 25 MVC seasons, as well as the top
finish for any Valley champ since Wichita State went 28-4 in 2004 (.875).
Tourney Time
One for the Money
In the series opening game with the Redbirds, all nine Indiana State starters had one hit in the
3-0 victory. Andy Young and Jacob Hayes made their hits hurt the most, with each connecting
for a solo home run in the fourth and seventh innings, respectively. The other Indiana State run
came in the ninth inning as Kaden Moore’s single drove in a run to push the lead to 3-0. It is the
third time this season that all nine starters have had at least one hit, but the first time that no
one registered a multi-hit contest.
Horseshoes and Hand Grenades
The Sycamores have come on strong as of late, going 12-5 in their last 17 games. During those
12 wins, seven have come in Indiana State’s last at bat, including four walk-off wins at Bob Warn
Field. Of the last 17 games, 16 have been decided by three runs or less. The only game that was
not a close contest was an 8-2 victory over SIUE. Nine of the 12 wins were earned by the Sycamore
bullpen, and Indiana State picked up five saves during that run.

12:30 PM
Missouri State enters the 2015 MVC Championship 40-43 all-time at the tourney, including titles
in 1996 and 1997. The Bears have won at least one game in each championship appearance
since 1994, totaling all 40 of their tourney wins in their last 19 trips to the meet. Coupled with
its 23-5 mark at the Mid-Continent Conference Tournament, Missouri State is 63-48 all-time at
league tournaments as a Division I program and 5-5 in its previous three appearances as the
top seed at the Valley Championship.
Merciez Tops Mound Apperances Chart
Senior reliever Zach Merciez claimed the Bears’ single-season pitching appearances record for
himself Friday with his 2.0 inning stint vs. Bradley. The right-hander made his 27th appearance
of the season, moving past Scott Geitz (1995) and Tyler Burgess (2012). Bears closer Bryan
Young isn’t far behind on the list after making his 25th outing in Thursday’s 2-0 series-opening
win over the Braves. The duo’s 52 combined appearances this season are the most ever for a
pair of Missouri State pitchers in a single campaign.
