Dear Eagle Fans:<br />
Welcome to what I’m sure will be<br />
another exciting season of Eagle<br />
baseball. As I’m certain you know, MCC has one of<br />
the richest traditions on the diamond of any junior<br />
college program in the Southeastern United States.<br />
In considering the many championships MCC has<br />
won, the players the program has produced – such<br />
as former Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee of the<br />
Philadelphia Phillies – and the string of highly<br />
successful coaches who have led the Eagles over<br />
the years, I can make that statement with great<br />
confidence.<br />
No less than three former Eagle coaches have<br />
gone on to lead NCAA Division 1 programs – the<br />
legendary Corky Palmer and Scott Berry at the<br />
University of Southern Mississippi and Russ McNickle<br />
at St. Leo University in Florida. A host of other Eagle<br />
coaches have gone on to assistantships at major<br />
colleges. I don’t think another junior college in the<br />
state can boast of such a lineage.<br />
But all the titles and trophies that this storied<br />
program has produced are far less important to<br />
me than the ideals for which the Eagles stand<br />
– character, dedication, perseverance, pride<br />
and excellence in the classroom. Those are the<br />
<strong>Meridian</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
froM The PresidenT<br />
ingredients that define a true champion, and that’s<br />
what we expect of our players and coaches at MCC.<br />
To that end, I am very excited about the leadership<br />
represented in our program in head coach Chris<br />
Curry and assistants Dillon Sudduth and Thomas<br />
Tillery. They exhibit a total commitment as a<br />
coaching staff and they demand the same of their<br />
players.<br />
I’m also excited about the improvements our Board<br />
of Trustees are making to Scaggs Field – a new field<br />
house, new fencing, a new irrigation system, and a<br />
new batting practice facility. Located in the heart of<br />
our campus, it’s a facility in which our community<br />
can take great pride.<br />
Thanks so much for your support of MCC baseball.<br />
I truly hope you enjoy reading about our program,<br />
coaches and players in this publication.<br />
Go Eagles!<br />

Cliff Lee: Eagle alumnus dedicated to his alma mater<br />
The <strong>Meridian</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> baseball program thanks former MCC standout Cliff Lee for all of his support in the past year . Lee pitched at MCC<br />
from 1998-1999 and has continued<br />
a very successful baseball career<br />
with the Philadelphia Phillies . Lee<br />
has enjoyed a great deal of success<br />
at the professional level and was<br />
honored with the American League<br />
Cy Young Award in 2008 while with<br />
the Cleveland Indians .<br />
Lee has made two appearances<br />
in the World Series while with the<br />
Phillies and the Texas Rangers . Lee<br />
won two games in the 2009 World<br />
Series against the New York Yankees<br />
and was the first pitcher since Deacon Phillippe in Game one of the 1903<br />
World Series to pitch a complete game in the World Series with 10 or<br />
more strikeouts and no walks .<br />
Lee has played an instrumental role in the renovations to Scaggs Field<br />
that is currently in construction heading into the <strong>2012</strong> season . We thank<br />
Lee and his wife Kristen for all of their support to our baseball program<br />
at MCC .<br />

Scaggs Field<br />
<strong>Meridian</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Scaggs Field is considered one of the top<br />
junior college baseball fields in the country .<br />
More than just a field of dreams, Dr . William F . “Bill” Scaggs became MCC’s<br />
first official president in 1968 and served in that capacity until the fall of<br />
1998 . Under Dr . Scaggs’ leadership, the <strong>College</strong> engaged in an impressive<br />
capital improvements program, adding several buildings to its physical<br />
plant and continuously expanding its career and technical education and<br />
academic programs . He guided the establishment of The MCC Foundation,<br />
and became one of the state’s leaders in educational technology . Upon<br />
Scaggs’ retirement, MCC’s baseball facility was named “William F . Scaggs<br />
Field” in recognition of not only his considerable contributions to the<br />
<strong>College</strong> but also his abiding love for the national pastime .<br />
<strong>Meridian</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
The Hit Hut<br />
sponsored by Pizza Hut<br />
faCiliTies<br />
The Eagles indoor hitting facility is fully Astroturf and holds one of the<br />
largest nets ever made by Richardsons Net Inc . for batting cage purposes .<br />
Added to MCC in 2005, the Hit Hut allows Eagle players to hit no matter<br />
the weather conditions .<br />
MCC Locker Room<br />
The Locker room facility is equipped with individual oak lockers for every<br />
MCC player, a comfortable carpeted lounge area with couches, TV, DVD,<br />
stereo and Internet access .<br />

enovaTions<br />
The MCC baseball program has made significant<br />
improvements to Scaggs Field since the end of the 2011<br />
season . The first project completed during the fall was<br />
the addition of a new scoreboard which was donated by<br />
Coca-Cola and Rush Foundation Hospital . The scoreboard<br />
is wireless and comes fully equipped with new art work<br />
and LED lighting .<br />
Along with a new scoreboard, a new outfield fence<br />
has been installed . The fence was donated by Mike Wilson<br />
of Conway, Ark ., and Cedar Creek Wholesale . The construction<br />
of the fence was completed by the baseball team and<br />
painted in the traditional green color . The next project completed<br />
during the fall was the resurfacing of Scaggs Field . The<br />
infield was resurfaced and laser graded by Charles Brunetti of<br />
Diamond Design .<br />
Currently, the new fieldhouse is under construction and<br />
is expected to be completed by the summer of <strong>2012</strong> . The<br />
fieldhouse will feature 40 wooden lockers, showers and bathrooms,<br />
uniform storage and a laundry room . The second level<br />
will consist of coaches offices, locker room and shower, and<br />
a “tradition room” to display the trophies and awards of MCC<br />
baseball . Along the front of the fieldhouse will be an open air<br />
deck for fans to watch the game . On the northwest side of the<br />
fieldhouse, a covered hitting facility with turf floors and two 70-foot long batting<br />
cages will be constructed . The Scaggs Field renovation project will conclude with<br />
a new brick wall backstop and netting . In addition, new fencing will be installed<br />
down each foul line with brick columns .<br />
The upgrade project has been made possible by the MCC administration,<br />
Philadelphia Phillies and former Eagle pitcher Cliff Lee, the MCC Baseball Alumni,<br />
and the community of <strong>Meridian</strong> .<br />

<strong>Meridian</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Kasey Hinton<br />
The <strong>Meridian</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Eagles are looking to make a big splash in<br />
<strong>2012</strong> and make a run at a championship<br />
season . The Eagles finished the 2011<br />
season with an overall record of 33-21<br />
but were eliminated at the Region 23<br />
Tournament at Delgado <strong>Community</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> in New Orleans . MCC returns a<br />
solid nucleus of players from 2011 and the<br />
Eagles will rely on new additions to return<br />
the team to national prominence .<br />
“Our goals are always to compete for<br />
championships every season at <strong>Meridian</strong><br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>,” said Head Coach Chris<br />
Curry . “We also want our players to represent our program in a first class<br />
manner on and off the field .”<br />
The Eagles will look to make a return to the NJCAA <strong>College</strong> World<br />
Series in Grand Junction, Colo ., with a solid group of pitchers entering the<br />
season .<br />
“I think with any baseball team it begins on the mound and that will<br />
be the case for our team . We had great offensive production last season,<br />
but I believe we didn’t go as far as we wanted because we were a little<br />
short on the mound . I believe we have answered some of the questions<br />
on the mound with new additions and guys with experience from last<br />
season,” Curry said .<br />
MCC will be led on the mound by Jackson Lowery, Wes Stokes,<br />
Michael Manley and Samuel Peterson . Lowery enters his first season<br />
with the Eagles after transferring from the University of Central Arkansas .<br />
Lowery pitched primarily out of the bullpen last season for UCA but is<br />
expected to be in the starting rotation for the Eagles . Stokes returns for<br />
his sophomore season with MCC and should be a member of the starting<br />
<strong>2012</strong> season ouTlook<br />
rotation for the Eagles . Peterson will be able to log solid innings on the<br />
mound and could hit in the middle of the lineup for <strong>Meridian</strong> .<br />
The biggest returning piece of the puzzle for the Eagles will be the<br />
return of catcher Wade Wass . The Pensacola, Fla ., native was among the<br />
top three in most offensive categories for the Eagles last season .<br />
“Wass is a vocal leader on the team and we are looking for big things<br />
from him this season,” added Curry .<br />
Wass has already signed to continue his college baseball career at<br />
the University of Alabama . Some freshman additions to the team who<br />
will look to make an immediate impact in <strong>2012</strong> include: Jonathan<br />
Youngblood, Mitchel Babb, Caleb DeLee, Tyler Dixon and Tanner<br />
Vandevere .<br />
MCC returns several sophomores from last season that will contribute<br />
in <strong>2012</strong> and those include: Brian Donohoe, Kasey Hinton, Johnny Tolson,<br />
Dustin James, Michael Manley, Josh Lee and Dalton Short .<br />

Second Season<br />
Chris Curry enters his second season as the head baseball coach<br />
at <strong>Meridian</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> . Curry led the Eagles to a 33-21 in his<br />

The MCC Eagle Baseball<br />
team continued its success off the field<br />
by posting a team grade point average<br />
of 3 .3 for the fall semester . Thirty-one<br />
of the thirty-five players had a gpa of<br />
3 .0 or higher which equals a total of<br />
89 percent . Of those 31 players, seven<br />
players qualified for the President’s<br />
List which requires a 4 .0 gpa, and 14<br />
players qualified for the Dean’s List<br />
which requires a gpa above a 3 .25 .<br />
Along with the President’s and Dean’s<br />
Lists, 14 players either qualified or<br />
maintained membership for Phi Theta<br />
Kappa, the international academic honor<br />
society that that requires a 3 .5 gpa for<br />
membership .<br />
Coach Curry said “I can’t say enough<br />
about how proud I am of our team and<br />
the way they are answering the challenge<br />
of being a program of excellence both<br />
on and off the field . A lot of credit goes<br />
to our academic adviser Lori McClain<br />
as well as Coach Sudduth and Coach<br />
Tillery for handling their schedules and<br />
the hours of study hall . This is another<br />
indication of the commitment our team<br />
shown this fall, and we expect this level<br />
of achievement to carry over to the field<br />
this spring .”<br />
