As a junior, Reno High first baseman Pat Gallagher hit nine home runs and had 40 RBIs. He was clearly producing offensively.

So in the offseason, he worked to get better at everything else — fielding, base running and becoming a better leader.
The funny thing is, not only did he excel at those outside characteristics, he also got better at the plate.
For his efforts, Gallagher is the Reno Gazette-Journal’s All-North 4A Player of the Year. That’s in addition to the being the High Desert Player of the Year, as voted by the 4A coaches.

“I really think that Pat Gallagher is the complete player,” Reno coach Pete Savage said. “Not only has he worked extremely hard to exhibit the characteristics of a great leader, he always has worked hard on the parts of his game that weren’t up to his hitting ability.”

Gallagher hit 18 home runs with 56 RBIs this season on a Reno team that reached the 4A state tournament and held the RGJ’s No. 1 ranking every week of the season.The Huskies finished the season with a 31-5 record. They won the High Desert League with a 17-1 record, the only loss coming against McQueen late in the season.

The power-hitting lefty, who will play at UCLA next season, provided consistent and timely hitting for the Huskies. Gallagher hit a huge home run to center field in the Northern 4A Regional championship game and blasted a two-run home run against Rancho in the 4A state tournament.

Gallagher and the team’s goal this season was to win league, win the regional and win state (Bishop Gorman took the state title).

“Accomplishing two out of the three goals was good,” Gallagher said. “Overall, it was a great season.”
Savage has seen a lot of good players roll through Reno High as the team’s head coach. Gallagher is one of the most humble and respectful players he’s seen.

“It’s not just about being a great player,” Savage said. “The best thing for us was not that he hit 18 home runs with 56 RBIs, but the more important thing is he was one of our team leaders and the strength of our team was our chemistry. That’s 100 percent due to our leadership and Pat Gallagher was part of that.”

Gallagher will play summer ball for the Reno Knights, a local American Legion team. He reports to UCLA on Sept. 22, which is the first day of school and baseball practice.

“Legion ball is great, we play a ton of games and face a lot of good teams to get prepared for college,” Gallagher said. “I have a little time, but I’m pretty excited. I love playing baseball, so year-round is good for me.”

Nick Bietz hit two home runs and Garrett Winkelmaier threw five innings of three hit ball as Reno beat Galena, 11-1, in five innings to win the 4A Northern Regional on Saturday at Douglas High School.

Bietz’s second home run was a grand slam that towered over the left field and gave the Huskies a 10-run rule victory.

“I’m real proud of our kids,” Reno coach Pete Savage said. “We have three goals. One was to win the league. Two was to win the regional. Three is to go on and win state so we’re going to go out and give it our best effort. We start practice on Monday.”

The 4A state tournament starts Thursday at Bishop Manogue High School. The double-elimination tournament continues Friday with the championship series scheduled for 5 p.m. on Saturday at Aces Ballpark.

Reno is the No. 1 seed from the north and Galena qualified as the north’s No. 2 seed. Two teams will qualify from the Southern 4A Regional, which wraps up Saturday.

State Tournament Notes (5/21/10)

Both Reno (#1 Seed) and Galena (#2) represented the North in the Nevada State Tournament. Below lists the results.

— Galena wasn’t the only local team to end its season today. The Reno Huskies dropped a 6-3 contest to Rancho as well.

Looking back, Reno probably had the worst luck of any team in the tournament. Despite finishing first in the north, under ideal circumstances Reno should have played the No. 2 Las Vegas representative, which was Rancho if you go by national rankings. Instead they faced Gorman on Thursday and lost 14-1.

Today, they had to face Rancho and No. 1 pitcher Zak Qualls, a San Diego State signee who Rancho didn’t pitch in their first game.

MINDEN — Reno center fielder Nick Bietz was rounding third base, and his teammates were eager for him to stomp home plate.

When he did, the entire team piled on, with Bietz in the middle, screaming and celebrating with his teammates.

Bietz was a hero for the Huskies on Saturday in the Northern 4A Regional championship at Douglas High. His walk-off grand slam gave Reno an 11-1 win over Galena (22-10) in five innings.

“I was just trying to hit the ball somewhere,” said Bietz, whose towering shot over the left-field wall completed a 3-for-3 day with two home runs and six RBIs. “It was such a good feeling. It was awesome. All the practices we went through this year and last year, it was just a really good ending.”

With the win, the Huskies (31-3) advanced to the 4A state tournament as the top seed from the North, which starts Thursday at Bishop Manogue. The 4A state title game is Saturday at Aces Ballpark.

Reno’s Pat Gallagher blasted his 17th home run of the season, a solo shot to center field, and Austin Wood and Zach Nymon each went 1-for-2 with an RBI.

The headline for Reno throughout the Northern 4A Regional playoffs was its pitching. The Huskies allowed just seven runs over four games, including the one Saturday.

Garrett Winkelmaier threw five innings of two-hit ball on Saturday with the only damage coming from a solo home run to Galena’s Brian Pointer. Winkelmaier struck out four and didn’t walk a batter, this performance coming off seven shutout innings against Douglas on Tuesday.

“It was all about our pitching this tournament,” Bietz said. “Our pitching kept us in every game. We’re always in every game because of our pitching.”

As the Northern 4A runner-up, Galena also will compete in the 4A state tournament. The Grizzlies qualified with a 15-14 win over a feisty Damonte Ranch team in 11 innings on Friday.

Aside from Pointer’s home run, Galena’s other hits came off the bats of shortstops Alex Barajas and Tony Guidara.

American Association and United League Sign Arizona Summer League Players
RHP James Kuzniak goes to Coastal Bend and INF Steve Mays go to St. Paul Saints

Yuma, AZ. July 10, 2009 – The Arizona Summer League announced today that two players have already been signed out of the league during just the first week of play. RHP James Kuzniak was inked by the Coastal Bend Thunder of the United League and INF Steve Mays was signed by the St. Paul Saints of the Northern League. Both played for the El Centro Imperials in the inaugural Arizona Summer League which is an instrcutional showcase for released pros or overlooked college grads.

Kuzniak, 23, 6-0, 180 , RHP was a star at Arizona Western College and was recruited to New Mexcio HIghlands Unvirsity to finish his collegiate career. He went undrafted out of NMHU and was signed by the Yuma Scorpions of the Golden League late in the season in 2008. He was with the Yuma Scorpions in spring training before being released and his one outstanding appearance at the start of the Arizona Summer League was enough for Coastal Bend to sign him and fly him to their home location in the Corpus Christi area in Texas.

Mays, 22, 6-2, 190, INF was the northern Nevada high school player of the year as he led his team to the state championship. He went on to play at Mesa JC in Phoenix for one of the top-ranked junior college programs in the country. Recruited by the University of Nevada he played there before transferring to Cal Stave Monterey Bayto finish his collegiate career . A middle infielder/3B with size and power, he went undrafted out of college and joined the Arizona Summer League after an outstanding tryout at the Indy Pro Showcase in Detroit earlier in the summer. Hitting a startling .833 in his first three games at the pitching-dominated ASL he was quickly signed by the St. Paul Saints of the American Association, the most-storied, and considered the premier, franchise in all of independnent pro ball.

About The Arizona Summer League
The Arizona Summer League is in it’s inaugural season as a serious showcase and development league for released professional and overlooked collegiate players to improve and demonstrate their ability in order to get signed by professional teams.

Q&A Session with the Former Outfielder

June 16, 2009

In a USF Summer Baseball Blog special edition, senior outfielder Drew Johnson reminisces about his time at USF and lets us in on his future plans.

What are some of your best memories from USF?

It’s funny to sit down and reflect on the last five years and try to pick out what memories stick with me most. The details of actually playing the games, the good days the bad days, the at-bats, wins and losses seem fade as time goes on. Sure there are a few big moments while playing that will stick with me forever, but most of all I will remember times when we just hung out as a group. The Rookie Show, Christmas dinners at Coach G’s house and Thanksgiving at Zach Kim’s to name few. Some of my favorite memories are sitting around in the dugout or the locker room after games and practices talking with teammates. These were times to let off some steam and temporarily escape the craziness of the life of a college athlete. It was during these times that we got to know each other so well.

What will you miss the most?

Oh man, where do I begin? I will rattle of a few things that really stick in my head. I will miss the long bus rides and the waiting time in airports with the team. It is amazing on how creative we got during these times in order to keep ourselves entertained. When you put twenty-five baseball players on a bus the topics of conversation reach a whole new level of “out there.” I will miss the stupid laughs on busses and planes that came along with being exhausted and delirious after a long day. I will miss bussing back from the Oakland Airport and seeing the San Francisco skyline from the top of the bay bridge. I will miss the pranks that Naks and I played on each other on a daily basis, always keeping each other on our toes. I will miss talking politics and life with Coach Moore…

Most of all, the thing I will miss the most is the daily interaction with teammates and coaches. Being on a college baseball team is a unique experience because you spend so much time with a certain group of people. It’s amazing how familiarized you become with each of your teammates’ tendencies, routines, body language and characteristics. For example, Connor Bernatz and I would challenge ourselves during the pre-game prayer by attempting to identify each person by only looking down at their cleats. We could identify every guy based upon how they tied their shoe laces, the scuff marks on the cleats, and the size of foot. Weird huh? I am not aware of anything else out there that comes close to being on a college baseball team. I will miss being a part of a team, sharing the pains of losing and the joy of winning and every emotion in between.

And of course I will miss the game itself. But mostly the people that baseball has brought into my life…

How has baseball impacted and influenced your life?

I think that this game has had a huge impact on my life. It has brought me places I would never go otherwise. It has given me the opportunity to spend summers in Hawaii, Vacaville and the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. I have met people from all over the country and from different backgrounds. This has helped me put perspective on my life and where I came from.

The game has taught me how to deal with adversity. My freshman year in college I was exactly 1 for 23 on the year. My first college hit came in the last game of the year. It was a challenging time to say the least. Throw in a broken jaw and two shoulder surgeries during that time and it made for a great opportunity to respond to adversity. After receiving WCC All-Conference Honors in 2009 it’s rewarding to reflect on the challenging times knowing that you battled through them. I will continue to draw strength from these experiences as I move on to the next chapter of my life.

What are some things you have learned from coaches, professors, teammates, and/or friends while playing here that you will take with you into your next endeavor?

Credit is due to many of my professors for helping me find something that I am passionate about other than baseball. My professors were always there for extra office hours, and were flexible with the crazy baseball travel schedule.

I learned a great deal from Coach G as well. He has taught me so much about the game, but I have a gut feeling that I won’t be asked how to hit a breaking ball at a job interview anytime soon. More importantly Coach taught me a great deal about life, and how some of its lessons can be learned through the game of baseball. In post game speeches Coach would relate the struggles and successes of baseball to life. This is what I cherish the most out of everything he taught me.

The coaching staff has taught me more than any person with a PhD. I have never met a harder working and more committed group of individuals than the coaching staff. The gear we are supplied with, the restaurants we eat at, and the hotels we stay at are all made possible by our coaches. I have been witness to the way they go about their business on a daily basis. Watching them inspired me to challenge myself and see what I was capable of. They would never take credit for this but I feel I would have never been able to accomplish what I have, had they not had this influence on me. The culture that they create within the program is the reason for my success on the field and what pushed me to earn the opportunity to go to graduate school. I want to be great like them.

What was it that made you want to transfer to USF?

In the summer of 2006 I met Rigo Lopez, an alumnus of USF baseball and a former assistant coach. I was looking for place to play and our paths happened to cross in Honolulu. After spending some time with Rigo and speaking with the coaches over the telephone I knew that I wanted to be a part of the Family. If someone would have told me that I will spend my college years in San Francisco, I would respond by saying “you’re nuts man.” It couldn’t be any more different than my hometown of Reno, NV. It seemed crazy at the time, but I grew to love the city and I am so thankful to have been part of the program; it changed my life.

What’s next for you?

Well, I have met the love of my life, put a down payment on my first home, have a great paying job with great benefits and will be getting married at the end of this summer. I have everything mapped out to the last detail. The reality is, none of that is true. I am still a broke, single college kid, trying to figure out what to do with my life. In the meantime, I am living with my parents in Reno and rehabbing my shoulder from recent surgery. In August I am moving to Texas pursue a Master in Professional Accounting at the University of Texas at Austin. I will be working as a teaching assistant at the McCombs School of Business while studying toward my masters.

Any advice to your former teammates?

Enjoy it. Work hard, get crazy and challenge yourself. Push yourself in school and find out what inspires you. I probably don’t need to say work hard in baseball, because we most likely all share the same passion for the world’s greatest game. Learn to laugh, especially at yourself. Mess around often and make it fun; it got me through the everyday grind.

To upperclassmen: Try to give back to the program anyway you can. Best way I found is to pay it forward by helping the younger players. The only way to leave your mark is to instill what you have learned in those that will come after you. You are never too good to help out a younger guy. And before going to the field everyday, take a second to ask yourself: “How do I want to be remembered?”
