UCI MATCHUP HISTORY SDSU

Junior Sean Sparling sparkled in his only appearance of the weekend shutting down a bases-loaded, no-out situation in the fifth inning, and rolling through two more inning to preserve a shutout and earn his first career win on Friday. The rest of the relief appearances were filled with newcomers to the bullpen in three juniors making their Anteater de-buts and three freshmen. The juniors, Chris Vargas, Ben Ritchey, and Calvin Faucher, put together 6.2 innings allowing just two earned runs and three walks while striking out six led by Vargas’ three-inning stint with four strikeouts tainted by three unearned runs. The freshmen commanded the ninth inning on Friday resulting in a save for Jordan Bocko. Along with Miles Glazier and Mitchell Miller, the crew went 3.1 innings over the weekend allowing three runs and three hits. The catching position was up in the air over the weekend following a late injury to Griffin Mazur. His return is likely soon, but junior Alex Guenette and freshman Matt Reitano stepped in nicely over the four games. Guenette went 3-for-6 col-lected his first career hit, double, RBI, and stolen base. Reitano finished 0-for-6, but made solid contact on multiple occasions, and did contribute a walk, hit by pitch, and sac fly. Each outfield position came through on the defensive end providing an assist on the weekend: Wyatt Castro completed the double play from right field nailing a runner at the plate to end the second inning Satur-day night. In the bottom of the seventh of that same game, the Spartans rallied for a pair of runs, but Keston Hiura helped gun down a runner hitting his cutoff Mitchell Holland who redirected the play to third base for the second out. The final instance came early Sunday during a scoreless game in the second inning. A two-out single was followed by a double down the left field line that Evan Cassolato chased down, fired to Parker Coss, who threw a dart to Reitano at home to end the inning and keep the score at zeroes.

SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS (0-3) ANALYZING THE ANTEATERS

San Diego State was swept at home to open the season to No. 14 Oregon, 8-2, 10-5, and 4-3. The team batted .250 with four hits from Jordan Verdon and Alan Trejo. Spencer Thornton collected the lone HR along with a team-leading 3 RBIs. David Hensley added 2 doubles and 2 RBIs. Marcus Reyes allowed 2 ER over 7 innings Sunday for the best Aztec per-formances on the mound. The bullpen was responsible for 14 runs over 11.2 innings during the weekend.

The Wolfpack busted 42 hits with 12 going for extra bases. Three were homeruns while four different players legged out triples. TJ Friedl led the charge with seven hits and six runs to go with a triple, homer, and three RBIs. The team was successful on nine of its 10 stolen base attempts paced by Miles Mastrobuoni and Justin Bridg-man each going 3-for-3. The staff put together a 4.24 ERA in the four games as Mark Nowaczewski and Christian Stolo each had quality starts. Zach Wilkins punched out eight batters in 5.1 innings and did not sur-render a walk. The defense committed just two er-rors over the four games and turned one double play. Nevada spread out its scoring throughout the weekend with seven runs in the first three innings, 10 in the middle innings, and seven more down the stretch. UNR does not have another series against a Big West program, however it does play a home-and-home mid-week series with UC Davis beginning March 29th on the road and returning home on April 26. They also travel to UC Santa Barbara on April 18.

MIKE GILLESPIE HEAD COACH, NINTH SEASON

UC Irvine opened the 2015 season with its worst start, losing six straight games, but veteran coach Mike Gillespie quickly turned the team in the right direction as the Anteaters rebounded by posting 15 consecutive victories for the longest win streak in UCI’s Division I history. The team finished third in the Big West at 15-9 after winning six of eight league series. Gillespie-lead teams have finished in the Big West’s top three five of his eight seasons and in 2015, the offense highlighted the ‘Eaters efforts, belting 100 doubles to reach the century mark for the first time since 2011. UCI also hit a league-leading 31 home runs, the most since 2010, to go along with a .394 slugging percentage that also topped the conference.

All-American Keston Hiura was voted UCI’s first-ever Big West Fresh-man Player of the Year and was joined by Mikey Duarte on the all-conference first team. Jerry McClanahan and Mitchell Holland were second-team choices while Kris Paulino was tabbed an honorable mention giving Gillespie 54 all-conference honorees at UCI, nearly half of the program’s total of 110.

With over 1,000 Division I career wins and five trips to the NCAA postseason with the Anteaters, Gillespie has kept UCI among the nation’s elite. Last season, the 2014 National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Coach of the Year tacked on a fifth College World Series appearance to an already prominent coaching resume. It was the second post-season trip to Omaha, Nebraska for the Anteaters, who recorded a 41-25 overall mark. UCI stunned No. 1 Oregon State in regional action and followed that with a two-game sweep of Okla-homa State at the Stillwater Super Regional to reach the CWS. There the team handed Texas a 3-1 loss in the opening game before losing to Vanderbilt and the Longhorns to end the post-season run. At the end of the year, UCI was ranked in the top 10 in four polls with its highest rank of No. 6 by Collegiate Baseball.

Anteater pitching, long one of the foundations of the program, led the way as the staff logged a 2.76 earned run average, the best in pro-gram history. It was just the second time a UCI team had recorded a team ERA below 3.00. Pitchers Andrew Morales and Sam Moore both collected All-America honors. Morales was named the Senior CLASS Award winner while Moore won the Gregg Olsen “Breakout Player of the Year” accolade. Five Anteaters were drafted by Major League Organizations in the First-Year Player Draft and five also earned All-Big West Conference nods.

Gillespie, an American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Famer, boasts a Division I lifetime record of 1070-638-2 and is in the top 30 among active coaches in win percentage. At UCI, he has produced the program’s only two Big West Players of the Year with Taylor Sparks, the most recent honoree winning the award in 2013. Ben Orloff, who was UCI’s inaugural Big West Player of the Year in 2009, is now an assistant coach on Gillespie’s staff.

In his eight-year tenure, an Anteater pitcher claimed Big West Pitcher of the Year honors five times from 2008-2014 and Big West Defensive Players of the Year, Brian Hernandez and D.J, Crumlich won the distinction back-to-back years in 2011 and 2012 under Gillespie’s tutelage.

Gillespie was hired in the fall of 2007, becoming the baseball pro-gram’s eighth head coach. In 2008, the Anteaters kicked off the year with a 16-1 mark for the program’s best start. UCI lost just two week-end series in the regular season and went on to advance to the NCAA postseason, defeating Oral Roberts and Nebraska to win the Lincoln Regional. UCI, which recorded a 42-18 record, was ranked as high as No. 3 in the nation.

He led the Anteaters into uncharted territory in 2009. That season UC Irvine was the consensus No. 1 team in the nation and was awarded a No. 6 national seed in the NCAA postseason, a first for UCI. Making their fourth consecutive postseason appearance, the Anteaters served as a regional host for the first time in the program’s history. Under Gillespie’s leadership, the Anteaters won their first-ever Big West Conference title, winning the championship with a 22-2 mark in league play and posting the Big West’s second-highest win percentage at .916. The Anteaters were a perfect 12-0 at home in conference action, becoming the first team in Big West history to accomplish the feat as well as recording the third straight 40-win season, finishing at 45-15. The 45 victories were the most since UCI became a Division I program in 1977-78. At the conclusion of the regular season, a school-record ten Anteaters were honored on the Big West All-Conference teams and Gillespie was voted the conference Coach of the Year, his fifth such honor.

In 2010, the Anteaters were 39-21 overall, logging a season-high six game win streak and earned the program’s sixth consecutive NCAA Tournament berth. Daniel Bibona became the first Anteater to win back-to-back Big West Pitcher of the Year honors and became UCI’s strikeout leader with 332. Christian Bergman nearly threw a perfect game, facing 27 batters in a complete-game win and seven Anteaters

garnered all-conference awards. In post-season action, Gillespie’s Anteaters eliminated LSU and finished as runners-up in regional play.

In 2011 the team dropped just two conference weekend series all year and then mounted a post-season charge at the Los Angeles Regional where the Anteaters defeated three conference champions, Fresno State, San Francisco and UCLA, to advance to the Char-lottesville Super Regional. UCI earned eight All-Big West honors, the third-most collected by the program since 2009 and the 2011 season also saw UCI’s fourth no-hitter as Matt Summers handed Long Beach State a 2-0 shutout. UCI finished 43-18 for the program’s fourth 40-win season in the last five years and the team also posted a second-place finish in the Big West at 16-8 for its fourth consecutive top three conference finish. Brian Hernandez was named the Big West’s inaugu-ral Defensive Player of the Year and he along with catcher Ronnie Shaeffer, collected American Baseball Coaches Association Gold Glove Awards with UCI being the only program with multiple recipients.

In 2013, UCI won 10 weekend series and posted a 25-9 record at home to improve to 126-46 at Anteater Ballpark during the Gillespie era. Seven players were voted to the all-conference teams, Sparks was named an ABCA Gold Glove winner and he and Morales com-bined for six All-America nods.

Gillespie’s coaching fame includes a 20-year career at USC, where he guided the Trojans to 15 postseason appearances, four College World Series appearances (1995, 1998, 2000 and 2001) and a national title in 1998 for which Gillespie was named National Coach of the Year by Collegiate Baseball and the American Baseball Coaches Associa-tion.

Gillespie posted a 763-471-2 (.618) record during his tenure at USC, producing 30 major league players, including five who were voted to the All-Star Game in 2003 (Mark Prior, Barry Zito, Aaron Boone, Bret Boone and Geoff Jenkins).

His reign at USC began in 1987 and in just his second season, guided the Trojans to the West Regional, falling just one game shy of the College World Series. USC made four consecutive regional appearanc-es, including winning the conference title in 1991. From 1993, Gilles-pie led USC to an impressive 10 consecutive postseason appearances that included back-to-back College World Series appearances in 2000 and 2001, marking the first time USC accomplished the feat since 1973 and 1974.

His teams won five Pacific-10 titles, garnered Pac-10 Coach of the Year honors four times (1991, 1995, 1996, 2002) and West Region Coach of the Year accolades twice (1996 and 1998) by the American Baseball Coaches Association.

In 2002, Gillespie directed his talents to the USA Baseball National Team, leading the team to a 27-3-1 record and posting the highest winning percentage (.900) in history until the mark was surpassed by the 2003 team. The national team reeled off a 21-game unbeaten streak at the end of the season and Team USA captured the crown with an 8-5 win against Cuba. For his efforts, Gillespie was nominated by the United States Olympic Committee as the baseball Coach of the Year. It was his second stint with USA Baseball, having served as an assistant coach with the 1997 USA team.

He is only one of two men (Arizona's Jerry Kindall) to both play for and coach an NCAA-championship baseball team. He was the left-fielder for USC’s 1961 national-championship squad and coached the 1998 team to the program’s 12th title.

Prior to coaching at USC, Gillespie coached at the College of the Canyons, where he built the program from scratch. In his 16 seasons at Canyons, Gillespie compiled a 420-167 (.716) record and won 11 Mountain Valley Conference championships, including six consecutive from 1981-86. He captured three state titles and finished as the California runner-up twice. His teams finished with 20 or more wins in 13 years of his tenure, posting 30-plus wins six times. His final squad won 41 games in 1986, the most-ever by a California community college at that time. His term included three California Community College Co-Coach of the Year awards.

Gillespie served as Canyon’s athletic director from 1977-86 and taught English, physical education and health education. He earned his bachelor’s (1962) and master’s (1963) degrees from USC.

Gillespie and his wife, Barbara, have four children, Kelly, Mitch, Matt and Tiffany and have three grandchildren, Cade, Cole and Samantha.
