2001 Tournament

MARSHALL -- Sometimes, baseball games are not determined by inches, but rather by pitches.

Or, in the case of the East Texas Baptist University Tigers, a single pitch.

The Tigers, playing in the National Christian College Athletic Association World Series championship game Saturday night in Celina, Ohio, held a 4-3 lead over Faulkner University with two outs and a man on in the top of the seventh. And that¹s when fate struck down ETBU and senior lefthander Marty Mayfield.

Faulkner first baseman Matt Ames hit a two-out, two-strike, two-run home run, and ETBU (30-15) stranded the tying run at third base in the bottom of the inning as the Eagles grabbed a 5-4 win in the national title game, denying retiring Tiger skipper Jim Kneipp a national championship in his final game.

"One strike away . . . it¹s hard to believe," said Kneipp, who leaves ETBU after 18 seasons with another memorable finish. "It¹s very disappointing, but I am not disappointed in my ballclub. They overcame some very tough situations this week and got into the national championship game by playing our kind of baseball. We just came up a little short."

One of those tough situations facing the Tigers at the World Series was the weather, which completely wiped out the double elimination format and turned the tournament into a one-day, single-elimination affair between eight teams on Saturday. The Tigers advanced to the semifinals with a 13-3 pounding of Malone College, led by a pair of three-run homers by Shaun Seago and Justin Terry and the pitching of NCCAA National Pitcher of the Year Gifford Whitehead. ETBU then qualified for the title game when senior righthander and 2000 NCCAA All-American Jared Landry, out for most of the season with an injury, tossed a no-hitter at Mount Vernon Nazarene College and got a two-out, two-run homer from Seago in the bottom of the seventh to post a 4-2 win.

That brought on Faulkner, an NAIA school from Montgomery, Alab., which had knocked off top seed and defending national champion Olivet Nazarene 5-3 in the other semifinal.

The Tigers, who had rallied from a 3-1 deficit to tie the score at 3-3, took the lead in the bottom of the sixth when Terry led off with a double and scored on Seago¹s two-out double to the wall in center. Mayfield, who had come on in relief of starter Wes Mansfield in the fourth, struck out the leadoff hitter in the seventh before allowing an infield single. Mayfield then struck out the next hitter for the second out, bringing the Tigers to the edge of the title.

Ames, a sophomore first baseman for Faulkner, fell behind 0-2 before fouling off a pitch and then getting the call on a check swing. He then hit a low Mayfield breaking ball over the wall in left-center for the game-winning home run.

"I knew we were one pitch away from winning it," said Kneipp, "but I also knew we were one pitch away from being behind. That¹s just baseball."

The Tigers put runners at first and third with two outs in the bottom half of the inning, but Faulkner coaxed a grounder to short from Terry to end the game.

The Tigers finish the season as the national runnerup in the NCCAA, becoming the third ETBU squad to finish second at a national tourney this season. The Lady Tiger basketball team and softball team finished second at their respective championship tournaments as well.

Whitehead (10-2) and Mayfield (8-7) were named NCCAA All-Americans following the tournament, with Seago being named honorable mention All-American. Seago, Mayfield and Landry were named to the All-World Series team as well.

Whitehead, in addition to being named the NCCAA National Pitcher of the Year, was also chosen as he NCCAA Central Region Player of the Year. He was joined on the All-Central Region team by Mayfield, Seago and junior rightfielder Nathan Haas.

Whitehead leaves ETBU as the Tigers' career leader in innings pitched and strikeouts, and he now ranks second on the all-time list in career wins. He also tied the mark for wins in a season, tying Landry¹s record of 10 set in 2000.
