UT Martin will be facing Air Force for the first time in program history. The Skyhawks hold a 6-2 all-time mark against Western Illinois and barely trail (10-11) in the all-time series against Saint Louis. The Skyhawks will look to snap a losing skid this weekend, as four of UT Martin s last six losses have come by two runs or less. Jordan Owen (.397 batting average) leads four regulars who hit above.300, while senior Chase Okey carries a 10-game hitting streak into the tournament. Returning All-OVC honoree Phil Sorensen (4-for-4 at Evansville on Tuesday) and Grant Glasser (eight hits in his last 18 at-bats) have also been hot lately for the Skyhawks. Probable Game 1 starter Alec Mills (1-2, 3.32 ERA) heads the UT Martin pitching staff, as he averages a shade over a strikeout an inning (22 in 21.2 innings). Dan Tobik has logged the second-most innings on the squad out of the bullpen (0-1, 3.12 ERA, 19 strikeouts in 17.1 innings). Air Force has lost eight straight but three of its last five defeats have come by one run apiece. Garrett Custons (.327/.407/.577) paces the Falcon offense, while sophomore righty Cameron White (1-2, 1.59 ERA in four starts, including two complete games) is expected to start against UT Martin. Western Illinois dropped two out of three games last weekend at Western Kentucky but posted an impressive victory at No. 8 Georgia on March 4. The Fighting Leathernecks boast three regulars who hit above.360 and are expected to throw senior right-hander Dustin Hunter (1-0, 2.01 ERA in three starts) against UT Martin. Winners of seven straight, Saint Louis high-powered offense has scored double-digit runs in five games this year, including 22 runs against Ohio Valley Conference member Southeast Missouri on March 6.

3 HEAD COACH BUBBA CATES 14TH SEASON AT UTM 23RD OVERALL DELTA STATE, 1982 Victor Bubba Cates begins his 14th season at the helm of the UT Martin baseball program and his 23rd year of college coaching in The Skyhawks are coming off a historical 2011 campaign under Cates, as the Skyhawks reached the Ohio Valley Conference tournament for the first time since 1996 after tying a program-record with 10 wins (including seven of eight during one stretch) in league play. While at the tournament in nearby Jackson, UT Martin produced its first OVC Tournament victory with a 6-2 victory over Eastern Kentucky on May 26. Following the season, UT Martin s Trey Karlen became the first Skyhawk chosen in the MLB Draft since 1998, as the Washington Nationals selected Karlen in the 33rd round. Cates also found a diamond in the rough with Phil Sorensen in The freshman from Erie, Pa. was named a Collegiate Baseball Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American, while also earning All-OVC first team and All- Freshman accolades. The only freshman on the All-OVC first team, Sorensen hit.347 with a.547 slugging percentage in 49 games. Cates also oversaw the finishing touches on the careers of three all-time greats in Cody Terry ended his career as the program s all-time leader in games played (199), hits (226), at-bats (750), doubles (47), runs scored (145) and assists (555). Wes Patterson finished his career as one of only three players in program history to accumulate 200 career hits, while graduating as the all-time UT Martin leader in home runs (39), runs batted in (171) and putouts (1,293). The aforementioned Karlen also wrapped up his two-year career as the only player in program history to have 20 or more home runs (23) and 50 or more stolen bases (51). It was a big year for Cates on and off the field in On the field, he posted one of his best seasons at UT Martin, as he willed the Skyhawks to 24 wins - the most the program had tallied since UT Martin also produced a program-record six All-OVC selections under Cates in 2010, a year in which the Skyhawks shattered 11 team records and produced a Major League Baseball free agent signee (Wes Alsup). Off the field, Cates was the recipient of the 2010 Jerry Kindall Character in Coaching Award by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). One of the highest honors in the coaching profession, the award is named after Jerry Kindall, the former major league player and retired head coach at the University of Arizona. The success in 2010 was a continuation of 2009, when Cates set a new school record for OVC wins with 10. Overall, Cates has had four 20-win seasons at UT Martin, including three consecutive seasons (21 in 2009, 24 in 2010, 20 in 2011). Widely respected in the baseball circles, Cates is dedicated to sustaining a successful program at the university for many years to come. He came to UT Martin from Jackson State Community College where he built a successful program during a nine-year period. While at Jackson State, Cates developed the Generals into a nationally ranked program. The 1996 team recorded a sixth-place finish in the Junior College World Series and the 1997 and 1998 teams were also ranked nationally in the junior college polls. The team advanced to the Tennessee Junior College playoffs six consecutive seasons. Cates overall record at Jackson State was In addition to the FCA award he received in December 2010, Cates has received several coach of the year honors. He was the National Junior College Athletic Association Region VII and Eastern District Coach of the Year in 1996 and the Tennessee Junior College Western Division Coach of the Year in Cates received his 25-year Coaching Award from the American Baseball Coaches Association in Under Cates, Jackson State was one of only three junior colleges from across the nation that had an All-American every year from Cates had 52 of his Jackson State players to move on and play in four-year programs. His players also enjoyed academic success with 12 receiving All-TJCCAA academic honors. Before moving to Jackson State, Cates was head baseball coach at Kirby High in Memphis. He also taught mathematics at the school. A native of Cleveland, Miss., Cates played college baseball for former Boston Red Sox pitcher and legendary coach Dave Boo Ferris and the nationally ranked Delta State program. Cates holds both his bachelor s and master s degrees in mathematics from Delta State. He is active in the FCA and is a member of both the Tennessee and American Baseball Coaches Associations and has worked as an associate scout for the Seattle Mariners organization. Cates is married to the former Ann Simmons of Hammond, La., also a Delta State graduate. They are the parents of three sons: Lin, Reid and Cameron. Along with his baseball duties, Cates teaches in the UT Martin mathematics and computer science department.
