BOX 7297 LEXINGTON, KY. 40522 major achievement For five pupils of Bat 'Cat skipper Keith Madison, right, the road to the major leagues has included stops at UK by TODD KELLY University of Kentucky head baseball coach Keith Madison has developed a tradition of molding young men into outstanding individuals and professional baseball players. In his 13 years as head coach, Madison has had 43 players sign professional contracts after playing at Kentucky. Twenty-one former Wildcats are active in professional baseball this year with five having made it to the major-league level. In fact, except for the University of Florida, Kentucky has more players in the majors than any other school in the Southeastern Conference. But Madison doesn't take the credit for the fortune of his former players. "We have been blessed with young men who want to excel," he said, "and because of this we have been able, as coaches, to help them become major-league level prospects." Jim Leyritz, Paul Kilgus, Jeff Parrett, Jack Savage and Terry Shumpert honed their skills at UK and credit Madison and his program for their progress to the majors. And why did Kilgus choose UK? "I was impressed with the coaching staff and the program," Kilgus, the left-handed hurler who was traded this year from the Chicago Cubs to the Toronto Blue Jays, said. "Another reason I came to Kentucky was I thought it would be fun to play for a friend on and off the field, and coach Madison seemed like he could be a friend." "Paul is one of the best starting pitchers we've had at Kentucky," Madison said of Kilgus, who holds the UK career record for most innings pitched (30016) and shutouts (4). "He was a classic overchiever who wasn't recruited that heavily out of high school, but Paul Kilgus Jim Leyritz Jack Savage Terry Schumpert he came here and gained some strength and speed on his fastball." "He teaches you a lot of the little things that make you a great pitcher," Minnesota Twins pitcher Jack Savage said. "He taught me mind control and discipline." Savage came to UK as a starter, but Madison moved him to the bullpen after his sophomore year. "It made a big differnce in Jack's development," Madison said. "It made him a much more confident pitcher. It appeared he threw harder out of the bullpen." The Louisville native, who played at UK from 1983-85, holds the school single-season record for saves (7) and is fifth for pitching appearances (21) in a single-season. "All the workouts coach Madison conducted were just like the ones I have had in the majors," Savage said. But what brings these talented players to the University of Kentucky, a school better known for producing basketball players? Shumpert, the starting second baseman for the Kansas City Royals for part of this year before an injury ended his season, said he came to UK because he knew he would face some of the best college players in the nation. "The Southeastern Conference is very competitive," Shumpert said. "I wanted experience against top college teams." One of six baseball All-Americas at UK, Shumpert was recruited by many colleges out of high school as a basketball player, Pitcher Jeff Parrett, traded from the Phils to the Braves late this season, has enjoyed the most big-league success of these five ex-Bat but decided to play baseball at UK because Madison is a "nice guy, and my mom liked him." "Terry has tremendous speed and is a great defensive player," Madison said. New York Yankee third baseman Jim Leyritz, who had been recruited by UK, came to Madison after his senior year in high school and asked for some advice. Madison suggested that Leyritz attend Middle Georgia for his first two years to gain experience and maturity. "Jim's an extremely versatile player," Madison said. "He's a natural hitter who hits the ball hard." UK also helped prepare Atlanta Braves pitcher Jeff Parrett for professional baseball. "I felt the experience he gained playing in the SEC helped him early in the minors," Madison said. "He had the jump on the others because he faced some of the best players in the country while playing at Kentucky." Parrett said playing against top teams in the SEC definitely helped him prepare for the majors. The Lexington native, who began his professional career with the Milwaukee Brewers, has continued to work hard even though he has been in The Show for several years. "The thing that impresses me the most about Jeff is that he still has great work habits," Madison said. "Many players that have been to the majors tend to stop working. Every winter when the team works out, he's always there working with us." Parrett is UK's fourth career leader in strike outs with 176. "Pitching consists of constant adjustments," Parrett said. "Coach Madison taught me how to make those adjustments and it made me more of a fine-tuned pitcher." Tom Browning of the Cincinnati Reds and Rob Murphy of the Boston Red Sox are players who never played an inning at UK, but got to the big leagues with help from Madison. Back in 1982, Madison took his Wildcats to play Tennessee Wesleyan, where Browning mowed them down. Madison was so impressed that he called Chet Montgomery, a scout for the Reds, to tell him about Browning. The Reds picked him up in the ninth round of the 1982 June draft. "He deserves all the credit," Madison said. "He's a tremedous competitor with the best ball control of any pitcher I've seen. It gives me a great deal of satisfaction to see someone 'Cats, photo by Nick Nicholas Please see, MAJOR, page 26 October /S, /(tfO &ag& 3 UK drops 35-29 SEC opener Dropped passes, brilliant play by Ole Miss' Luke send Curry's 'Cats to fourth consecutive defeat TCP staff reports Kentucky entered its second season and literally dropped a 35-29 decision to Mississippi in Oxford. Statistics after the Southeastern Conference showdown revealed Wildcat receivers dropped nine passes. But for most of the day the game securely belonged in the Rebels' hands. Ole Miss took advantage of UK's butter fingers and other mistakes, thus keeping pace in the SEC title chase. The Rebels jumped out to 21-7 and 35-14 leads and evened their league slate at 1-1 despite a UK comeback. "Had we not given the cheap one up, the blindside (hit) with the ball going into the end zone, it might have been a different story," Wildcat head coach Bill Curry said. "The other reality is that we continue to dig ourselves into deep holes and fight back." Kentucky drops to 0-1 in the league and 1-4 overall, losing four consecutive games after an opening-season win against Central Michigan. The "Cats try to regroup this week and get ready for Homecoming festivities and a date with Mississippi State. Billy Brewer's Ole Miss club enters this week's TBS nationally-televised game at Georgia with a 4-1 mark. In that contest Brewer will be looking for his 101st victory a<; a head roach Luke too tough to tackle Mississippi starting quarterback Tom Luke had a sensational afternoon. The 6-foot-l, 195-pound sophomore signal caller rushed for 82 yards on 12 carries and threw for 132 yards on a eight-of-16 afternoon. Throughout the day Luke used counter plays to slip by and over UK's interior defense, avoiding all would-be tackles behind the line of scrimmage. And it was Luke's cool hand that erased a 7-0 advantage by the visitors. Kentucky scored on its second series of the game, an eight-play, 64-yard drive. Al Baker, who led his team in rushing (69 yards on 13 carries) and pass receiving (48 yards on seven receptions), scored from the four with 9:21 remaining in the first quarter. Mike Thomas' 24-yard run set up Baker's off-tackle scoring ramble. Ole Miss, which early muffed a 42-yard field goal attempt on its initial series, got on track late in the first quarter. Inside the UK two, Maurice Shaw took a handoff from Luke, and scored early in the second period. One play earlier, Ed Thigpen apparently fumbled inside the UK five. Officials, though, said the whistle had blown before Thigpen was stripped of the ball. Shaw's touchdown celebration dance drew the ire of one offical and cost the Rebels an unsportsman-like penalty. Starting from its 44 on the next series, UK couldn't capitalize as the 'Cats' offense was shut down for the rest of the first half. Kentucky should have taken a note or two from the Rebels, because Brewer's club was able to take advantage of good field position With 4:11 remaining. One play after taking over at the UK 47, Luke, with enough time to hum a few verses of Dixie, spotted split end Derrick Owens for a 33-yard gain. And on the next play Randy Baldwin broke loose for a 15-yard touchdown. Three plays.. .47 yards.. .14-7 in favor of Ole Miss. Sounds too easy. Both teams couldn't muster a first down on their opening second-half drives. But thanks to the play of the special teams the Rebels more than threatened on its next possession. Ole Miss punt returner Vincent Brownlee took a Bill Hawk line-drive boot and ducked in and around Wildcat paws before being stopped after a 58-yard return. And from the UK 23, Ole Miss needed only six plays, the final on a Thigpen one yard TD, to go ahead 21-7. 'Cats close to 21-14, but... Starting from the UK 20, Smith directed an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown drive. The sophomore quarterback making his first collegiate start connected on five of six passes during the drive. His strike to tight end Rodney Jackson for 20 yards pushed the 'Cats into Ole Miss territory (UM 43). Smith then opted for short passes to his backs, Baker (13 and three yards) and Craig Walker (five yards). With a second-down-and-seven situation at the UM 13, Smith crossed up the Mississippi defense with a quarterback draw. A hole opened as Smith headed for paydirt with his fist clinched and UK's second score. "Overall, I'm very proud of his courage and very proud of his work" Curry said of Smith's performance, 25 of 42 and one touchdown through the air. And unlike his '90 debut at Rutgers, there were no interceptions. UK was back in the game. The only thing...could the 'Cats' defense stop Ole Miss? ...Rebs go on another 14-0 tear The answer was no. Luke again answered with positive plays. He converted five first downs on an 80-yard, 10-play scoring march, reclaiming Ole Miss' 14-point cushion. From the UK 43, the Rebels faced a third-seven situation. However, a Luke-Jeffery Holder 17-yard connection took care of matters. From the 21, Luke called an option, these days a dirty word to UK defensive coordinator Larry New and the 'Cat defense. And they weren't smiling after Baldwin's 21-yard touchdown scamper. His second rushing TD pushed the Rebs ahead 28-14 as the horn ending the third quarter blared throughout Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. That's not the only sound that rang on the field. Following John Bolden's dropped pass midway through the final period. Smith, from the UK 24, went back to pass. This time inside linebacker Pete Harris' vibrating hit separated the ball from Smith's grasp. The ball sailed into the end zone where Shawn Cobb recovered. Brian Lee's extra point gave UM its biggest lead 35-14 with 8:59 left. Smith's 25-yard pass to a diving Phil Logan in the end zone closed the count to 35-21. Extremely accurate was the best way to describe the Wildcat signal caller on this drive, completing eight of nine passes. That's impossible Then came a zany play which will forever be in the memory of one Wildcat. A humorous happening. Surely it made some sports show's Plays of the Week. You had to see it to believe it. But believe us anyway when you read it. It happened something like this: With the balance of UK's coverage team weighed heavily to the left, Doug Pelfrey, kicked the ball to the right side. The onside try went four-yards before proceeding to spin like a toy top. With Pelfrey nearby the twirling ball, Ole Miss' Camp Roberts couldn't resist. He tried to pick the ball up and run, but Pelfrey alertly wrestled the pigskin into his grasp. In this instance, Robert's curiosity kept the 'Cats' optimisim alive. UK drove to the Ole Miss 1 with :05 left. On a sweep right, Baker crossed the goal line untouched. Next, Curry said afterwards he decided to go for two because he was told that at least one second remained. (Note: TV replay showed when Baker crossed the goal line one second was left on the scoreboard.) The game ended on a successful two-point conversiona Smith to Neil Page pass. Kentucky outscored Ole Miss 14-7 in the fourth period, giving the UK head coach reason to be optimistic. "We're becoming a fourth-quarter team, ever so slightly," Curry said. "We are finding some champions in our ranks. We're finding some people who can deliver when the chips are down." Said Smith about the comeback: "It was too little too late." UK-OLE MISS NOTES ?Ai Baker, playing both fullback and tailback, had his finest game of the season. Baker ran with confidence carrying the ball and on short passes, evident that not one time was he stopped behind the line of scrimmage. "He's just giving his heart, giving everything he's got," Bill Curry said. "He's doing all the things people said he couldn't do. And I'd give my right arm and left one if everyone was doing like Al." ?Afterwards, Baker was asked if he would welcome a switch to tailback. Baker said he wouldn't. "At fullback you're like five yards back, at tailback you're eight yards back," Baker, describing the difference between the two positions, said. "It seems like you have to run a lot faster just to make up that yardage behind the line. I like the fullback position a lot more." ?Both Freddie Maggard and Joel Mazzella had consecutive game strings snapped as Wildcat starters. Maggard, whose right shoulder was injured at North Carolina, had started in 15 consecutive games at the quarterback slot while Mazzella. a standout UK offensive guard, saw his 24-game streak come to an end. Union County product Bill Hulette started in place of Mazzella. ?Billy Brewer, who with the win has been on the winning side 100 times, has a 43-39-3 mark at Ole Miss. He was 38-24-2 at Southeastern Louisiana and 19-15-1 at Louisiana Tech. This is Brewer's 17th season as a college head coach. ?The win gives Ole Miss a 4-1 mark, its best start since 1970. That season the Rebels started the campaign with a 4-1 mark and finished 7-3 with a 35-28 loss to Auburn in the Gator Bowl. That year Ole Miss was led by colorful and talented quarterback. Archie Manning, who later went on to play for the NFL's New Orleans Saints. That season was also Johnny Vaught's final season as the Rebels as coach.
