Stamper, Skirrow Tabbed Big South Freshman of the WeekFor the fi rst two weeks of 2018, Liberty freshmen pitchers have been tabbed the Big South Fresh-man of the Week. Right-hander Brady Stamper was selected the conference's Freshman of the Week for games played Feb. 19-25, while right-hander Noah Skirrow took on the fi rst Freshman of the Week honor of 2018 for games played Feb. 16-18.

Stamper was named this week's Big South Freshman of the Week after turning in a solid perfor-mance in his collegiate debut. The Middletown, Del., native pitched fi ve scoreless innings and re-corded the victory in Liberty’s 4-1 win over James Madison on Feb. 20 at Liberty Baseball Stadium. Stamper allowed two hits. He struck out eight and walked two.

Skirrow also picked up his weekly honor in his collegiate debut. The Stoney Creek, Ontario native pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings in Liberty’s 4-2 win over VCU in game two of a doubleheader on Feb. 18, helping the Flames complete a sweep of their three-game season-opening series with the Rams.

The right-hander recorded the fi rst win of his career, striking out nine and walking one. He al-lowed only four baserunners, two on hits, one on a base on balls and the other on a hit batter during his outing. He did not allow a batter past second base.

Skirrow

Embry EmergesFlames catcher Jonathan Embry has had quite a start to his 2018 season. The redshirt sophomore, who only had 28 at bats in 2017, has began the year with a .346 batting average and is tied for the team lead with nine hits entering the weekend.

Embry began 2018 by hitting .615, collecting eight hits in 13 at bats, and sporting an on base percentage of .722 in Liberty's season-opening three-game series against VCU.

Starting at catcher for the fi rst time in his collegiate career, the Louisville, Ky. native, belted the fi rst home run of his career in his fi rst at bat of the year in the season opener on Feb. 16. His two-run home run in the fi rst inning staked the Flames to a 2-0 lead en route to a 5-4 victory on opening day.

Embry collected back-to-back three hit games, last week. The catcher had the fi rst three-hit contest of his career in a 4-2 win over VCU in the second game of a doubleheader on Feb. 18. He then went 3-for-3 in Liberty's 4-1 victory over James Madison on Feb. 20.

Embry

Leading the way is Tre Todd. The junior is eighth in the country with 11 bases on balls. 1B Dylan Allen, who has walked nine times, set a Liberty program single-game record with fi ve bases on balls duuring the Flames' 4-2 win over VCU in the second game of a doulbleheader on Feb. 18.

Flames in the Professional RanksAs Liberty begins its 2018 campaign, fi ve former Flames fi nd themselves on professional rosters heading into Spring Training: AAA - Ryan Cordell, Charlotte - Chicago White Sox; Ian Parmley, Buff alo - Toronto Blue Jays AA - Adam Parks, Frisco - Texas Rangers Rookie - Parker Bean, Helena - Milwaukee Brewers; Caleb Evans, AZL A's - Oakland A's

Liberty has had 64 players chosen in the Major League Baseball Draft in the 44-year history of its program. The Flames have had at least one player chosen every year since 2000.

In addition, two program alumnus are in the professional coaching ranks. Currently, Tony Beasley ('89) serves as the third base coach for the Texas Rangers, while Matt Hagen ('02) will manage the Rangers' Single A affi late, the Hickory Crawdads, this summer.

Parmley Reaches MajorsIan Parmley became the fi fth former Liberty Flame in program to play in the major leagues, when he was called up from Triple A Buff alo to the Toronto Blue Jays on June 23, last season. Parmley, who played at Liberty from 2011-12, started in right fi eld and batted ninth for the Blue Jays in a 5-4 loss to the Kansas City Royals at Kaufmann Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

With the start, he became the fi rst former Flame to reach the majors since Doug Brady made his MLB debut with the Chicago White Sox on Sept. 5, 1995. Parmley joins former Flames Brady (1989-91), Randy Tomlin (1986-88), Sid Bream (1979-81) and Lee Guetterman (1978-81) in reaching the majors.

On This Date in Program HistoryThe 2007 Flames won their seventh straight contest, defeating the Manhattan Jaspers, 6-2, at Worthing-ton Stadium. Getting a strong outing from pitcher Michael Solbach, Liberty broke a 1-1 tie with four runs in the fi fth inning in the fi rst-ever meeting between the two schools. SS Patrick Gaillard had three hits and scored a run to back Solbach. Solbach allowed two runs on four hits in recording the victory.

The Flames opened their season with a 5-2 win over Rio Grande and an 11-5 win over UCF in Florida on this date in 1983. Liberty went on to post a 40-17 record, under head coach Al Worthington, the fi rst 40-win season in program history, and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament in Lubbock, Texas for the second consecutive year.

The fi rst three batters in Liberty's batting order combined for eight hits and reached base 11 times, leading the Flames to a 8-5 win over the UConn Huskies, at Liberty Baseball Stadium on this date in 2016. CF D.J. Artis, 2B Eric Grabowski and RF Will Shepherd combined for eight hits and three walks. Shepherd posted his second three-hit game of the season and tied his career-high with three RBI, while leadoff hitter Artis

went 2-for-2 with a double, walked three times and scored twice. No. 2 hitter Grabowski also collected three hits in the contest, his fi rst time as a Flame, with a double and RBI, scoring twice.

Scott Jackson was named the seventh head coach of Liberty's baseball program on July 17, 2016. No stranger to Liberty, having served as the Flames’ pitch-ing coach in 2008, Jackson led the Flames to a 32-23 record in his fi rst season and a second place fi nish in the Big South regular season standings with a 16-8 mark in 2017. Following the season, Jackson saw outfi elder D.J. Artis named the 2017 Big South Player of the Year and earn selection to three diff erent All-American teams: Baseball America, National Collegiate Baseball Writers and D1Base-ball.com. In addition, he saw pitcher Caleb Evans drafted in the 32nd round of the MLB Draft by the Oakland A’s. Paced by Artis, who led the nation in walks and fi nished second in on base percentage, the Flames led the Big South in runs scored and on base percentage. On the mound, the Liberty pitching staff allowed the fewest runs in the conference. During his one season with the Flames in 2008 as their pitching coach, Jackson helped Liberty post a 35-26-1 record and a 14-7 mark in Big South play. Liberty was the No. 2 seed at the 2008 Big South Baseball Championship and advanced to the event's title game. Following the 2008 season, two of Jackson's pupils were selected in the Major League Baseball Draft. Left-hander Ryan Page was selected in the 20th round by the Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander David Stokes was taken by the Detroit Tigers in the 28th round. During his eight seasons in Chapel Hill, N.C., Jackson helped North Carolina post a 345-156 record, make three College World Series appearances (2009, 2011 and 2013), advance to six-straight NCAA Regionals (2009-14) and win the 2013 ACC Championship. Prior the 2013 season, Jackson was recognized by Baseball America as one of the top assistant coaches in the country. During the Tar Heels' run to the 2011 College World Series, North Carolina had one of its top scoring seasons in school history. The Tar Heels fi nished the year ranked No. 10 in the country with 452 runs score. Jackson's batters proved to be patient hitters, fi nishing the year ranked No. 2 in the country in walks (358). North Carolina had continued success at the plate during the 2012 season, fi nishing the year ranked No. 4 in the nation in walks (304). The following season, the Tar Heels led the country in hits (759), runs (542) and walks (369). After joining the coaching staff at North Carolina in 2009, Jackson helped the Tar Heels have 44 players selected in the Major League Baseball Draft.

North Carolina's top off ensive selection in 2016 was out-fi elder Tyler Ramirez, who was a seventh-round selection by the Oakland Athletics. Jackson worked with freshman All-America second base-man Levi Michael who was the 30th overall selection in the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft. Third baseman Colin Moran came to North Carolina as an unheralded recruit but developed into one of the top hitters in the country as he earned All-America honors and was named the Baseball America Freshman of the Year in 2011. As a junior, Moran was a fi nalist for the Golden Spikes Award, led the nation with 91 RBIs and was the No. 6 overall pick of the Miami Marlins in the 2013 MLB Draft. Jackson helped coach three-time All-American Dustin Ackley to Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year honors and also mentored all-conference selection Kyle Seager. Both Ackley and Seager were selected in the top three rounds of the 2009 MLB Draft, and Seager was both an AL All-Star and UNC's fi rst Gold Glove winner in 2014. Jackson's eff orts on the recruiting trail also paid off for the Tar Heels, as the program has consistently signed classes that rank among the nation's best. The 2010 group of newcomers ranked No. 7 nationally, the 2011 class was ranked No. 6, the 2012 crop was ranked No. 4, the 2013 edition was ranked No. 5, the incoming class of 2014 was ranked No. 1 and the 2015 edition was ranked No. 5. Prior to his single season at Liberty, Jackson served fi ve seasons on staff at UNC Wilmington as pitching coach (2003-07). The Seahawks posted a three-consecutive win-ning seasons and captured the Colonial Athletic Association titles in 2004 and 2006. UNC Wilmington also advanced to NCAA Regional play in 2003, 2004 and 2006. Under Jackson's tutelage, six Seahawk pitchers were selected in the MLB Draft after going undrafted out of high school. His pitching staff established a number of school records at Wilmington, including strikeouts and saves. Jackson also had coaching stints at Campbell (2002), Barton (2001) and Woff ord (2000). In addition to his colle-giate work, Jackson led the Wilmington Sharks to a league-best 31-17 mark in 2002 as head coach and coached fi ve MLB draft picks. Jackson is a 1998 graduate of Campbell with a bachelor's degree in physical education and he earned a master's degree in education in 2000, also from Campbell. During his playing days with the Camels, he played seven diff erent positions and posted a career .268 batting average in 182 games. A native of Charlotte, N.C., Jackson is married to the former Sara Moore, who was a standout basketball player at Campbell. The couple has two sons, Ryan and Tyler.
