HUNTINGTON – Marshall softball head coach Shonda Stanton announced the hiring of the Thundering Herd’s new pitching coach Chelsey Barclay on Tuesday afternoon.
“I am really pleased to add Chelsey to our coaching staff,” said head coach Shonda Stanton. “Having competed in the Big 12, she knows the discipline it requires to be successful. She will be a great asset to our student-athletes and will push them to maximize their potential.”
Barclay joins the Herd after working a one-year stint as a graduate assistant pitching coach at the University of Louisiana-Monroe. While at ULM, she helped coach the Sun Belt Conference’s leading pitcher to a 1.55 ERA in Heather Fritz.
“We are really excited about our pitching staff and I am eager for Chelsey to begin working the team,” Stanton said.
Barclay also brings strong playing experience along with her, having pitched at Big 12 powerhouse Oklahoma State for two years. She graduated with a bachelors in elementary education in 2007.

Fourth Of July Freedom
From Woody Woodrum
and Greg Perry
Herd Insider magazine (goherd.com)
July 4, 1776-2010
HUNTINGTON - Happy Fourth of July weekend from the staff of the Herd Insider and goherd.com. We hope to see those in the Tri-State area at Harris Riverfront Park in Huntington on July 3rd for music by Sony recording artists Crisp & Davis and headliner James Otto, who scored a No. 1 with “I Just Started Loving You,” plus fireworks at dark. Cost is $5, but kids 12-and-under are free.
We hope these messages of freedom, hope and the founding of the United State of America will keep the reason for the holiday in your heads and, more importantly, in your hearts as well.
Thanks to the “Heroes” of the USA who put their lives on the line everyday to protect this freedom: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard, Coast Guard and, closer to home, Police, Firefighters and Paramedics. Thanks to you for all you do for us, as in US.
Happy Fourth of July to all and Happy Birthday, USA!

Pulaski, Va. - Marshall pitcher Ryan Kiel, taken in the 37th round by the Seattle Mariners, faired a bit better than his teammates in his initial pitching performance in professional baseball.
The Bluefield Orioles shutout the Pulaski Mariners Wednesday night in Pulaski, Virginia by the score of 14-0. Both teams are now 1-1 in the Appalachian League after the Mariners opened the season with a 8-4 win at home on Tuesday.
Kiel pitched two innings with no runs - the only Pulaski pitcher not to allow a run - plus two walks and three strikeouts.
The rest of the staff, four pitchers in all, allowed 19 hits, six doubles, a triple and a home run in the loss. Ramon Morla of Pulaski stayed hot by going 2-for-2 in the loss. He is now 6-for-6 to start the 2010 campaign.
Bluefield's Corey Thomas had three hits, including a three-run home run. He scored four times and stole a base. Brad Decatur, Michael Ohlman and Eiris Ramirez had three hits also in the rout.

The tour, featuring athletic director Mike Hamrick, football coach Doc Holliday and basketball coach Tom Herrion heads to Charlotte, N.C., for the first time Tuesday, June 22, where more than 80 golfers have made reservations and another 40 will join them for dinner.
Then the final stop comes on July 13 at the Old White Course at The Greenbrier just two weeks before the PGA professionals play the famed West Virginia course. Reservations for this golf tournament and reception are also pouring in to the Big Green office.
