Javelinas Picked to Win LSC Championship for Second Consecutive SeasonCan they go back-to-back? The Lone Star Conference believes they can as the No. 21/19 Texas A&M University-Kingsville base-ball team was picked to win the conference Thursday, earning eight of the 17 first-place votes and tallying 83 overall points in the LSC Preseason Poll.
Voted on by LSC head baseball coaches, sports information directors and media representatives, the reigning conference champions went 38-20 last season and advanced to the championship game of the South Central Region. For his efforts, head coach Jason Gonzales earned conference coach of the year honors and 11 players were selected on All-LSC squads, including returning closer Ryan Scott, who tied a single season school record with 14 saves.
West Texas A&M University follows with four first-place votes and 80 points with Tarleton State University placing third with 69 points and a first-place nod. Angelo State University (64 total points, four first-place votes), Eastern New Mexico University (42) and Cameron University (19) round out the poll at fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively.
Greyhounds outfielder Matthew Burks was tabbed LSC Presea-son Player of the Year after leading the league with 10 home runs and a .627 slugging percentage in 2014. Burks finished the season with a .384 batting average, 71 hits, 32 RBI and 11 stolen bases. Rams right-hander Blake Bass was selected as LSC Preseason Pitcher of the Year after posting a 2.72 earned run average in 76.0 innings. In 13 appearances (12 starts), Bass compiled a 4-4 record.
LSC action begins on a 10-week schedule with a four-game series and three-game series against every other team. The conference champion will be the team(s) with the highest winning percentage in regular-season LSC action, while the LSC postseason champion receives an automatic qualifier into NCAA South Central Region Championships. The top four teams advance to the LSC Championships.

Javelinas Earn a Preseason No. 21 National Ranking by NCBWA and Hold No. 19 Spot in CBN Poll
The preseason accolades continue to pile up for the diamond Hogs as Texas A&M University-Kingsville appeared at No. 21 in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Preseason National Poll, released on Wednesday evening.
A year after finishing 38-20 and advancing to the NCAA Division II South Central Region championship game for the second consecutive season, the Javelinas appeared at No. 19 on the Collegiate Baseball News Preseason Poll and were named a team to watch by D2BaseballNews.com. Texas A&M-Kingsville was picked to finish third in the region and were the preseason favorites in the Lone Star Conference, a year after winning the conference crown. Senior closer Ryan Scott also appears on the South Central Region First-Team after tying a single season record with 14 saves.
The Javelinas are the only school in the LSC to receive a presea-son national ranking by NCBWA. West Texas A&M University received nine points.
Javelinas Upset Southern Arkansas in Final Day of DII QuikTrip ClassicTexas A&M-Kingsville upset No. 10 Southern Arkansas on a suicide squeeze by Mario Siller to defeat the Muleriders, 6-4, for the first time in school history.
Hogs Begin 2015 with Five Straight Series WinsTexas A&M-Kingsville took two out of three from Newman University and Lone Star Conference foe Cameron University and won three versus then No. 25/27 ranked West Texas A&M and NAIA affiliate Texas College to begin the 2015 season with four consecutive series wins.
The first four-game sweep came last week when the Javelina pitching staff dominated versus Eastern New Mexico.
TAMUK’s last series defeat came at the hands of Tarleton State in the 2014 regular season finale.
On the Cusp of HistoryJavelina fans are witnessing two historical milestones as head coach Jason Gonzales is just two wins away from 200 wins as skipper of the Hogs. In fact, ‘Gonzo’ surpassed Hector Salinas earlier this season to take sole possession of second place on the all-time wins list in school history.
Closer Ryan Scott, fresh off tying the single season record with 14 saves, enters the Eastern New Mexico University series with 19 career saves, just six shy of tying for the career mark in Javelina history.
Andrews Named LSC Hitter of the WeekThird baseman Cline Andrews was named the Lone Star Conference’s Hitter of the Week for the week of Feb. 17-23 announced the conference office Tuesday.
The senior went 7-of-12 with a home run, six RBI and two dou-bles in a three-game sweep over Texas College as the Javelinas improved their winning streak to five. Defensively, he did not commit an error in the hot corner. Leading the team in hitting (.429 batting average 15 hits, five doubles and 12 RBI), Andrews has hit .450 with runners on base and enters Tuesday’s game at Texas A&M International University (6-7) with five multi-hit performances.
Matt Terrones and Hayden James dominated their way to shutout performances in wins over Cameron University on March 8. The duo combined to allow just four hits. The shutouts were the first for both players.
For his efforts, Hayden James was bestowed the conference’s pitcher of the week and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association’s South Central Region Pitcher of the Week after throwing a one-hitter. The senior hurler punched out seven.
Close Games? Count on the HogsTexas A&M-Kingsville enters the series vs. No. 13/6 Angelo State University 7-2 in one-run ballgames, proving that this year’s pitching staff - despite being overhauled after the graduation/exhaustion of eligibility of the 2014 pitching rotation - can hang with the best of them.

2014 LSC Coach of the Year2014 LSC Champions2013 LSC Tournament Champions2012, 2013, 2014 NCAA South Central Region-al Tournament AppearancesOne MLB Draftee28 All-LSC Selections
Entering his seventh season at the helm of the Texas A&M University-Kingsville baseball program is Jason Gonzales, who has taken the Javelinas to three NCAA South Central Regional Tournaments. Since taking over the diamond Hogs, TAMUK has gone an outstanding 183-140 (.567) and back-to-back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances. The Javelinas have appeared in five consecutive Lone Star Conference tournaments.
In 2014, the Javelinas advanced to the championship game of the NCAA South Central Region for the second consecutive season and were one out away from advancing to the College World Series. Overall, Texas A&M-Kingsville went 38-20 and along the way earned the Lone Star Conference Regular Season championship. For his efforts, Gonzales was awarded the conference’s coach of the year nod for the first time. As LSC regular season champions, the Javelinas hosted the conference tournament and battled West Texas A&M, who also appeared in the regional tournament.
Eleven players appeared on the all-LSC squad, including LSC Player of the Year Derrick Walls, who led the conference in hitting (.394) and on-base percentage (.508). Walls finished the season with 57 runs scored, 82 hits, 44 walks and 29 stolen bases and also earned All-South Central Regional and All-LSC Tournament first-team selections. In conference play, Walls hit .358 and was 17-for-18 in stolen base attempts. Taylor Taska and Brian Frazier also earned All-South Central Region tournament honors.
Academically, two players were named to the LSC All-Academic team as Dallas Ponder joined LSC Baseball Academic Player of the Year Denver Diefenbach.
Gonzales’ fifth season was record-setting for the Javelinas as the team set a school record with 42 wins in 2013. Texas A&M-Kingsville won the Lone Star Conference Tournament Championship for the fifth time and received the top seed in the NCAA South Central Region Tournament. As the top seed, the Javelinas hosted the regional tournament and came one game shy of advancing to the NCAA Division II World Series in Cary, N.C. It was the furthest the Javelinas had made it in the postseason.
Taylor Taska and Dallas Ponder each received multiple all-region honors as Taska was a first-team All-American, while Ponder received third-team honors. Taska was named both South Central Region Player of the Year and was the co-Lone Star Conference Player of the Year. Ponder was the league pitcher of the year and region pitcher of the year. In all, six players received all-LSC honors and Chris Ballou earned a spot on the 2013 LSC Baseball All-Academic squad.
In 2012, the Javelinas had its best season since 2008 and finished 31-18 with a trip to the NCAA South Central Regional Tournament. He coached the Lone Star Conference’s co-Player of the Year in Cameron Dullnig and the LSC Pitcher of the Year in Jaden Dillon. Eleven players received recognition from the LSC, while three earned all-region honors -- Dullnig, Dillon and Adam Aspaas.
Dullnig was named the NCBWA South Central Region Player of the Year and earned three All-America citations. Dillon became the sixth Javelina drafted in the program’s history when he was chosen in the 29th round by the Atlanta Braves. Aspaas also earned a spot on the conference’s all-academic team.
The 2011 Javelinas won seven of 11 LSC season series, but needed a three-game sweep of East Central on the final weekend of the year to get into the playoffs. Gonzales did an excellent job of mixing and matching his starting lineup and rotation to lead the team to an 18-15 conference record. For the second straight season the team went two games and out at the LSC tournament while losing their first game by one run each time. Four players earned All-LSC nods.
Jason Gonzales (Louisiana-Lafayette ‘94; seventh season)
Gonzales’ recruiting philosophy that focuses on high school athletes with a few transfers was tested in his second year at the helm and it proved to be sound as the team made great strides. Picked to finish ninth in the LSC Preseason Poll, the Javelinas put together a strong campaign and finished fourth in the conference and advanced to the LSC Playoffs. He brought in five new starters in the lineup and a completely new pitching staff as eight true freshmen made significant contributions.
The 2010 team featured a trio of all-region performers in first baseman Travis Earles, starting pitch-er Dan Rogers and center fielder Clifton Thomas. The squad set three school records and finished the year 28-25. Four players earned All-LSC selections, led by All-LSC First Team members Rogers, Thomas and Earles. David de Leon earned a second team nod.
In his first year (2009), the team went 20-35 as they struggled to get on a roll. Despite the team struggles, left-handed pitcher Sam Strickland was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in 25th round becoming the fifth player in school history selected in the MLB draft. Strickland and Thomas earned All-LSC Second Team selections.
Gonzales, a native of Cuero, had 14 years of collegiate coaching experience prior to coming to the Javelinas and also served as head baseball coach at Skidmore-Tynan High School.
Gonzales began his baseball career as a standout shortstop at Cuero High School where he gradu-ated from in 1988. He was an All-State baseball player and also was a member of Cuero’s 1987 Class 3A state championship football team. He was taken in the draft by the Atlanta Braves in 1988, but signed with the University of Texas. He suffered an injury while at UT and transferred to Blinn Junior College where he played for two seasons (1990-91). He was again selected by the Braves in the 1991 draft, but went to the University of Louisiana-Lafayette where he played two seasons for the Ragin’ Cajuns.
In Gonzales’ junior season at UL Lafayette, the Ragin’ Cajuns went 38-26, won the Western Division of the Sun Belt Conference and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
His first stint as an assistant coach came at UL Lafayette in 1994 as the Ragin’ Cajuns went 42-15, won the Western Division of the SBC and again advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
Gonzales then served as an assistant for two years at Arkansas State (1995-96) and one season at Wharton County Junior College (1997).
He returned to UL Lafayette in 1998 where he served as an assistant through the 2002 season. During that time the Ragin’ Cajuns hosted their first NCAA Regional Tournament, advanced to the NCAA College World Series and won a pair of regional championships. The 2000 team went 49-20 and finished third at the College World Series.
He left UL Lafayette and worked for the Atlanta Braves organization in 2003 before becoming head coach at Skidmore-Tynan High School. After three years at Skidmore-Tynan, Gonzales served as an assistant coach at McNeese State in 2008.
Gonzales received his associate’s degree from Blinn College in 1991, his bachelor’s degree from the University of Louisiana-Lafayette in 1994 and his master’s degree from Arkansas State in 1996.Gonzales and his wife Courtney have three daughters, twins Roy Grace and Dale Rose and Stevie Marie.
