AUGUSTANA BASEBALL
2018 National Championship
The 2018 Augustana baseball season was one for the history books. The
Vikings dominated every facet of the game, shattered records, and sent
players to professional levels in a season that culminated in a National
Championship.
The 40-8 Vikings charged into the NSIC Tournament led by First Team
All-NSIC players Jacob Blank, Sam Baier, and Riley Johnson. Blank
wound up finishing the year with a perfect 9-0 record with 100 strikeouts
and a 1.98 ERA. Baier brought the power with eight homers and 56 runs
batted in while Johnson was on an on-base machine with a .374 batting
average, 72 runs scored and 34 stolen bases. Baier and Johnson were
also awarded NSIC Gold Gloves for shortstop and center field, respec-
tively. All-NSIC second-teamers, Tyler Mitzel, David Flattery,
Jordan Barth, and Zach Reeg also fueled the Vikings postseason run with impressive stats of their own. Mitzel went
12-0 on the year and Barth posted an impressive stat line of .362 BA, seven Homers, and 61 RBI’s.
Augustana dominated Wayne State in game one of the tournament behind Jacob Blank’s eight shutout innings. The
Vikings smashed three doubles and two homers in the 10-0 rout. Although the Vikings trailed 2-0 early against St.
Cloud State in game two, Barth and Ryan Nickel hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the second and once
Mitzel settled in, Augustana cruised to a 5-2 victory that set the school record for wins (42). Highlighted by a six-run
fourth inning, the Vikings advanced to the NSIC title game after defeating Concordia St. Paul 8-4 in game three of
the tournament. Game four was a nail-biter, but similar in fashion with a big inning in game three, the Vikings tallied
a six-run fourth before Reeg earned a four-out save to give Augustana a 10-9 victory. The win gave Augustana its
first NSIC Tournament
Championship since 2014 as the Vikings started their postseason run 4-0.
The Vikings proved that no stage was too big for them at the Central Regional. In five games Augustana trailed in
just five innings, en route to a 4-1 record and a regional championship that sent the Vikings to the Division II College
World Series. After Mitzel improved to 10-0 on the mound in a 9-4 win against Pittsburgh State in game one, the
Augustana baseball team found itself in the most pivotal point of the tournament in game two. Tied 2-2 with Emporia
State in the top of the ninth inning, Baier hit a leadoff double and then stole third. After a walk, Augustana played
some small ball when Lucas Wylie dropped down a bunt that Emporia State could not field. After the bunt, an error,
and a sacrifice fly, the Vikings went into the bottom of the ninth with a 4-2 lead, which was plenty for Reeg to lock
down the win.
Reeg recorded a save in the very next game against Central Missouri before the Vikings would drop their first, and
only, game of the postseason to host Southern Arkansas in the regional championship series. Augustana avenged
the loss to
Southern Arkansas in the Central Regional Championship deciding game with a 6-3 win. The Vikings scored five
times in the first two innings and cruised the rest of the way, all the way to the College World Series.
Pitching was the name of the game for the Vikings at the World Series. Mitzel won his 11th and 12th games of the
season in games one and three of the World Series. The senior pitched all nine innings and only allowed two runs in
game one and pitched seven while allowing two again in game three. The fifth-seeded Vikings knocked off number
one seed Florida Southern in game two of the World Series. After jumping out to a 5-0 lead in the first two innings,
Augustana clung to a 6-5 win thanks to Reeg’s five-out save.
After incredible pitching performances all season long, the stage was set for the most impressive one of the season.
Blank took the mound against Columbus State in the national championship game. After RBI singles by Michael
Svozil and Lucas Barry, JT Mix delivered an RBI single of his own in the top of the sixth to give the Vikings a 3-2
lead. That score would prove to be the final as Blank pitched a complete
game gem, allowing only two runs on four hits with 12 strikeouts. Blank
struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth to give Augustana baseball
its first national title. Mitzel was named the World Series MVP.
After all the confetti and celebrations, the Augustana baseball team had
a season to truly be proud of. The 2018 squad set the school record for
most wins (52), fewest losses (9), stolen bases (170), and nearly every
pitching and defensive stat. Jacob Blank, Zach Reeg, Tyler Mitzel, Riley
Johnson, Lucas Wylie, and Sam Baier earned All-Region honors with
Blank, Reeg, and Wylie being named All-Americans shortly after.

AUGUSTANA BASEBALL
On June 4, 1992, Augustana College Baseball received an estate gift from Maurus and Anna Ronken. With this gift, the
development of Ronken Field began. Located just west of the Elmen Center, Ronken field is a picturesque setting for
college baseball.
Dick Ronken was the head baseball coach at Augustana and was instrumental in the building of the “new” field, which
is still in the same location. As a result of the Ronkens’ generosity, the Augustana baseball program made several key
upgrades to Ronken Field. In 2010, the team completed the construction of a new 7-foot wooden fence in the outfield.
The fence is made from Cedartone treated wood, and it
took 1,400 planks and many hours of work to complete
the structure.
In 2006, Lee “Goldy” Goldammer began to throw batting
practice to the Augustana baseball program. In succes-
sive years, Goldy began to travel with the team and have
a significant presence within the baseball program. As
he became more involved with Augustana baseball, he
became interested in helping to improve the facilities
for student-athletes. In October of 2011, Goldammer
gave an initial gift of family land, which translated into a
significant donation to the Augustana baseball program.
This gift kicked off a large fundraising campaign known
as “Step up to the Plate.” The campaign was set up to make improvements to the facility one step at a time. The first
project was the installation of the artificial turf infield in the summer of 2012.
In June of 2012, Augustana submitted a grant proposal to the Baseball Tomorrow Fund, through Major League Base-
ball. After going through the process, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund awarded Augustana College $84,700 towards the
installation of field lighting. As the projects were completed, Ronken Field has become one of the best baseball facili-
ties in all of Division II. The field now features a turf infield, grandstand with chairback seats, bleachers and a state-of-
the-art press box and luxury suite.
AUGUSTANA BASEBALL The Sanford FIELDHOUSE is one of the latest amenities available to Augustana student-athletes. Viking athletic teams use this facility for various team workouts through- out the school year. The Sanford FIELDHOUSE is the pre- mier indoor sports facility for local, regional and national athletic training, soccer, baseball, softball, football, co-ed sports leagues and POWER fitness programs. Athletes enjoy 62,000 square feet of professional grade Field Turf®, state-of-the-art training facilities, full amenity locker rooms – all designed to make sports an integral part of staying healthy. Sanford FIELDHOUSE is also home to Sanford POWER Athletic Enhancement Program, Sanford Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation, Sanford Sports Medicine Out- reach (Athletic Training Program) and the future home of the National Institute for Athletic Health & Performance. Augustana baseball utilizes the large weight room at the FIELDHOUSE, including Sanford Power strength and condi- tioning trainers during the off-season.

5 TIM HUBER
HEAD COACH | 15TH SEASON
National Champion head coach Tim Huber has been the head coach of the Augustana baseball program since 2009 and has simply
amassed over 400 wins and a win percentage north of .670. He has guided Augustana to five NCAA Tournament appearances, three
NSIC Tournament Championships, one regular season championship and the 2018 NCAA Division II National Championship.
He led the Vikings to the program’s first-ever baseball national championship in June of 2018 when Augustana won a program-best
52 games including a 12-1 mark in the postseason. A perfect 4-0 record at the DII College World Series was capped with a 3-2 win over
Columbus State in the title game.
Most recently in 2022, the Vikings had a record-breaking season under Huber’s guidance, holding an overall record of 47-13-1 and a
conference record of 31-5. Augustana defeated Minnesota State to win the NSIC regular season championship in 2022. The Vikings
earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Central Region Tournament. AU defeated No. 3 Central Missouri at the Central Region Tournament,
moving on to the NCAA Super Regional.
