Vanderbilt You knew there had to be something special about from the day it first opened its gates on March 30, 1974. Righthander Russ McQueen threw a no-hitter that afternoon in the first game ever played at as USC swept a doubleheader from California. The Trojans went on to win the national championship that year and has been their home ever since. The 2005 season will mark the 31st season of play at. One of the country s finest collegiate baseball structures, has continually been improved over recent years with the grandest project taking place before the 2002 season. A $4 million project signified the largest improvement made to the facility as a new clubhouse and players lounge were added on the first base side. Expanded offices for the coaching staff and new Hall of Fame were also part of the project, along with a new restroom pavilion. A new bleacher section was added on the first base side, pushing capacity to 2,500 at.

COACH S CORNER Mike Gillespie, in his 19th season as the Trojans head coach, has a 723-428-2 (.628) career record and has led USC to the 1998 national championship, five conference titles (1991, 1995, 1996, 2001, 2002), 14 trips to the NCAA Regionals in 18 years (reaching the regional finals 12 times), and trips to the 1995, 1998, 2000 and 2001 College World Series (Troy finished as the nation s runner-up in 1995). He was named the 1998 National Coach of the Year, the Pac-10 Coach of the Year four times (1991-95-96-2002) and the West Region Coach of the Year twice (1996-98). The starting leftfielder on USC s 1961 NCAA-winning team, he is one of just two men who have both coached and played on championship teams. Gillespie also was named by the United States Olympic Committee as the baseball coach of the year after serving as the head coach for the 2000 U.S. National Team, which posted a 27-3-1 record and the best winning percentage in club history (until it was surpassed by the 2003 squad). During his tenure at USC, Gillespie has coached 22 players who have played in the major leagues, including Aaron Boone, Bret Boone, Geoff Jenkins, Jacque Jones, Mark Prior and Barry Zito. RAIN RAIN GO AWAY The Trojans 2005 schedule has been a wreck with the rain storms that have hammered the southern California region. Seven games have been postponed due to rain, including one halted game at Cal State Fullerton. The updated schedule is as follows: Tuesday (April 12) vs. Cal State Fullerton at 7 p.m. (Feb. 18 makeup), Wednesday (April 13) at UC Santa Barbara at 2 p.m. (Feb. 22/23 makeup), Wednesday (April 20) at Cal State Fullerton at 5 p.m. (Feb. 20 halted game completion with Feb. 19 makeup after) and Wednesday (May 25) vs. Long Beach State at 7 p.m. (Feb. 11 makeup). The April 3 game at Washington was delayed and played the following day in Seattle. WHEN A WIN IS NOT A WIN USC had a 7-2 lead in the eighth at No. 3 Cal State Fullerton on Feb. 20 before the game was halted due to rain. The game was resumed on April 20 with the Trojans earning an 11-2 win. USC knocked out Fullerton ace Ricky Romero with seven runs, including Hector Estrella s career-high, five-rbi performance with a three-run homer. Ian Kennedy struck out 10 batters in eight innings for the Trojans. ON THE MEND First baseman Lucas Duda is out a minimum of 1-3 weeks after suffering a fractured left wrist during the March 25 game against Arizona State. Duda collided with a runner during a close play after a sacrifice bunt was made. Pitcher Brett Bannister is being held out for precautionary reasons due to inflammation in his right elbow and is listed as week-to-week. Outfielder Daniel Perales injured his back prior to the Arizona State series and will be out for the remainder of the season. THE 700 CLUB Head coach Mike Gillespie registered his 700th win for the Trojans on Feb. 13 in a 7-5 win against No. 17 Long Beach State at. 2005 USC Baseball 2

The Mike Gillespie File Mike Gillespie, one of the nation s top baseball coaches, is in very select company. By leading USC to the 1998 College World Series championship, he became one of only two people to both play for and coach an NCAA championship baseball team. The head coach at Troy was also the leftfielder on USC s NCAA title-winning team in 1961. Gillespie is in his 19th season at the helm of the Trojans program. When Gillespie took over at USC in 1987, he inherited a Trojan baseball program that had made just one postseason appearance in eight years. Since then, he has led USC to playoff spots in 14 of his 18 seasons, including the Trojans record-setting 12th national title in 1998. USC has also made four College World Series appearances in the last seven years, beginning in 1995 when the team made its first trip to Omaha in 17 years. His teams have also won five Pacific-10 titles (winning Southern Division titles in 1991 Troy s first league crown since 1978 and back-to-back crowns in 1995 and 1996 and 2001 and 2002). Gillespie was named the 1998 National Coach of the Year (by both Collegiate Baseball and the American Baseball Coaches Association), the Pac-10 Coach of the Year four times (1991-95-96-2002) and the West Region Coach of the Year twice (1996 and 1998) by the American Baseball Coaches Association.

The Trojan pitching staff recorded 16 strikeouts while allowing just one walk. ORANGE BOWL OFFENSE It was not Matt Leinart, Pete Carroll and the USC football team at, but it was awfully close. On March 1 against UC Riverside, the Trojans rallied from an 8-2 deficit in the fourth to score 19 unanswered runs for a 21-8 victory. It was the most runs scored by USC since a 26-4 win at UCLA on Feb. 23, 2002. Both teams stranded 13 runners and accounted for one grand slam. Catcher Jeff Clement went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and five RBI. As a note, UC Riverside s Matt Cunningham came to bat in three consecutive innings with the bases loaded, hitting a three-run double in the third, a grand slam in the fourth and lining out to second in the fifth for a seven-rbi night. BACK-TO-BACK SHUTOUTS The Trojan pitching staff recorded its first back-to-back shutouts on March 19-20 against Stony Brook (10-0) and UC Irvine (5-0) since USC accomplished the feat on Feb. 6-8, 1988. Brett Bannister had a complete game shutout against Stony Brook, the first individual CG shutout by a Trojan since Anthony Reyes on May 29, 2001, against Fresno State at the 2001 NCAA First-Round Regional. With another back-to-back performance (April 9-10 against UCLA), the Trojans threw back-to-back shutouts twice in a season for the first time since 1971. PLAYING FOR THE USA Junior catcher Jeff Clement and sophomore pitcher Ian Kennedy were members of the 2004 U.S. National Team last summer. Clement and Kennedy won the gold medal at the FISU II World University Baseball Championship in Taiwan. Clement batted.275 (19-for-69) with three home runs and 15 RBI. He aided the team in the 5-2 semifinal win against Chinese Taipei with a grand slam in the bottom of the eighth and was named most valuable player for Team USA in the 33rd Annual USA vs. Japan Collegiate All-Star Game Series in Japan, batting.429 (6-for-14) with a home run and two RBI. Kennedy went 3-1 with a 3.86 ERA (26 IP, 21 H, 10 BB, 40 SO,.219 opponent s batting average). His 40 strikeouts led Team USA. During the tournament, he earned the win in a 5-3 victory against Japan. Kennedy had a no-hitter working through 7 1/3 innings and did not allow a hit until his 100th pitch. CATCH A RISING STAR Catcher Jeff Clement (Marshalltown, Iowa/ Marshalltown HS) is batting.354 (46-for-130) with 11 doubles, 10 home runs and 33 RBI this season and a candidate for the Johnny Bench Award as the nation s top collegiate catcher. He has 31 walks and leads the team with a.491 on-base percentage. Behind the plate, Clement has thrown out 14 of 35 runners (40%) and had one pickoff at second base. Clement went 4-for-5 with a double and home run on April 23 at Cal. He had a season-high, 15-game hitting streak snapped on April 12 against Cal State Fullerton. He went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI in an 8-2 win on Feb. 27 at No. 13 Stanford. It was the second time he hit two doubles in a game (March 17, 2004, at Tulane). He clubbed his first home run of the season with a grand slam on March 1 against UC Riverside. Clement hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh on March 6 in a 5-4 win against No. 21 at the Maxwell Auto Group Round Rock Classic. He went 2-for-3 with two home runs and four RBI on March 11 in a 6-1 win over No. 21 Texas Tech at the Public Storage Classic at. His sixth homer of the season came on March 29 at Loyola Marymount in a 3-for-4 performance with a single, double and two RBI. After playing for the 2003 and 2004 U.S. National Team, Clement will be viewed as a possible first-round selection in the 2005 major league draft in June. Clement is a 2005 Baseball America Preseason All-America first team selection and is rated as the fifth best junior prospect among college players in the nation. On Feb. 12 against No. 17 Long Beach State, he held on to the ball during a collision at home plate to end the eighth inning on a double play. After a fly ball to center with the game-tying run on third, Clement showed another reason why his defensive skills have improved. 2005 USC Baseball 3

On Feb. 15 against San Diego, he delivered a cue shot in the bottom of the ninth with a walkoff, two-run homer with two outs in USC s 7-5 win.

He earned Orange County Register All-County first team honors as Santa Margarita went on to win the 2004 CIF Southern Section Division IV championship. STAR OF THE INFIELD Sophomore Hector Estrella (Rosemead/Northview HS) earned the starting shortstop spot with an excellent fall for the Trojans. Estrella is batting.250 (17-for-76) with three home runs and 15 RBI. He had a career-high five RBI, along with a home run, on April 20 at No. 2 Cal State Fullerton with all five runs coming off Fullerton ace Ricky Romero.

THERE S ALWAYS ROOM FOR R LO Freshman Roberto Lopez (La Mesa/Rancho Bernardo HS) has made an early impact in his 2005 freshman season. Lopez is batting.186 (11-for-59) with seven RBI. While playing in center field in the Feb. 13 game against No. 17 Long Beach State, Lopez started a double play to end the eighth inning when he threw a one-hop bullet to the plate to prevent the game-tying run. MEET YOU IN WILLIAMSPORT USC has three players who played in the Little League World Series.

Infielder Matt Cusick played for the South Mission Viejo squad in the 1997 LLWS. MAKING IT TO THE MAJORS During the history of the USC baseball program, a total of 90 former players have made it to the majors. In fact, during the 2004 season, USC could lay claim to having more former players in the majors than any other university in the nation. A total of 14 former Trojans played or were a part of major league rosters (Aaron Boone, Bret Boone, Jeff Cirillo, Morgan Ensberg, Randy Flores, Geoff Jenkins, Randy Johnson, Jacque Jones, Jason Lane, Justin Lehr, Chad Moeller, Eric Munson, Mark Prior and Barry Zito). OPERATION: OMAHA From 1948 to 1978, USC dominated the world of college baseball with 11 national championships in 17 appearances at the College World Series (the 1948 CWS was held in Kalamazoo, Mich., with the CWS moving to Omaha, Neb., in 1949). After the 1978 season, the Trojans went through a drought and did not return to Omaha until 1995, when Troy reached the national championship game. Since 1995, the Trojans have made four trips to Omaha (1995-1998-2000-2001), winning their 12th CWS title in 1998. USC has the most wins (74) at the CWS and is second for most appearances (21) behind Texas (30). The Trojans also have the highest winning percentage for all teams (.740) that have played at least 20 games at the CWS. BASEBALL HALL OF FAME On Feb. 1, 2003, the USC Baseball Hall of Fame opened to the public for the first time. The Hall of Fame was the final part of a $4 million renovation project that included a new locker room, seating pavilion on the first base side and stadium seating. All 12 national championship trophies will be permanently displayed as well as the awards won by former Trojan and current Chicago Cub pitcher Mark Prior during his 2001 national player of the year season. The major league uniforms of former Trojans are also on display.
