It’s hard not to be romantic about baseball. 🤍⚾️

There is something profoundly beautiful about a game that brings people together, bridges generations, builds community, and reminds us that sometimes, the greatest victories have nothing to do with the scoreboard. They live in the connections we make, the swings we take and the dreams we share.

Today my dad probably had one of the most memorable birthdays yet.

Miguel “Bookie” Nuñez has been inducted into St. Thomas University’s Hall of Fame as part of the 1996 baseball team; the first STU team to ever make it to a national competition and the first time the program made it to the College World Series. My dad was an assistant coach then.

And he had been a coach my entire life.

In ‘96 I was just a 1-year-old, but I grew up at STU. I often tell people that my first job was dragging a baseball field, selling concessions and cleaning dugouts. St. Thomas was where I went after school and on weekends because of baseball practice or a game. No baby sitter? No problem, there was a team that made sure I didn’t eat dirt (most of the time). My elementary school chorus even sang the national anthem one season and for my 10th birthday my dad let me throw the first pitch. But before I drove my dad (crazy) in a golf cart and smoothed out baseball clay, he had already built a legacy.

Today I got to see a glimpse of that, a true blessing.

Happy birthday, papi. Congratulations and go Bobcats!

-Little Bookie 🤍💙

St. Thomas University is pleased to announce upgrades to the Baseball and Softball facilities on campus. Both facilities will now feature a turf field, as well as additional improvements to other parts of their facilities. This project will be worked on by CSR Construction, Shaw Sports Turf, 1st Turf, and Musco Sports Lighting. The project is expected to be completed for both sports’ 2027 seasons.

Please do not wear black. If you knew him through a school, either as a player or a coach, we ask that you wear a school jersey, school T-shirt, or something in your school's colors in honor of the impact he had on so many of us.

Les pedimos de favor que no vistan de negro. Si lo conocieron a través de alguna escuela, ya sea como jugador o como entrenador, los invitamos a usar una camiseta, uniforme o alguna prenda con los colores de su escuela en honor al gran impacto que tuvo en la vida de tantos de nosotros.

We at #NAIABall mourn the passing of STU Baseball Assistant Coach Alfredo “Tito” Carrillo

Carrillo was entering his seventh season with Bobcats baseball program and our staff had the pleasure of interacting with him multiple times over the years. His presence both on and off of the field will be severely missed and our thoughts and prayers are with all of the STU community and Carrillo family during this difficult and tragic time 🙏

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Alfredo “Tito” Carrillo,† Assistant Baseball Coach at STU.

Alfredo “Tito” Carrillo served as an Assistant Baseball Coach at St. Thomas University beginning in the Fall of 2020. Tito was much more than a great baseball coach—he was a mentor, a teammate, and a friend to our student-athletes and everyone within the STU community.

Tito loved St. Thomas University. He could often be seen supporting our other athletic teams, proudly cheering on STU and its student-athletes. His loyalty and dedication to our baseball program were unwavering, and he always found ways to help our players, our coaches, and our program succeed. Tito made a lasting impact on so many people through his coaching, his mentorship, and the relationships he built. His contributions to STU Baseball will never be forgotten, and he will be deeply missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this time.

The St. Thomas Athletic Department is pleased to announce its Hall of Fame Class of 2026!!! Join us on Oct. 16 when we officially induct these two standout Bobcats and transcendent team during Homecoming Weekend
#RaiseTheStandard

The first member of the Women’s Volleyball program to earn All-Sun Conference honors for four-consecutive years, Dollinger (formerly Nowaczyk) helped lay the winning foundation the Bobcats have built upon behind an 86-39 record during her time in the Gardens with three-consecutive 20-win seasons and the 2014 Sun Conference Regular Season crown. Her 3,569 career assists mark stood as the school’s record until this season.

A four-year letterman for the Bobcats from 2011-2015, Beckford was a mainstay in the Bobcats’ starting lineup during a period where they went 87-41 with four-consecutive trips to the NAIA Division II National Tournament and won the 2013-2014 Sun Conference Regular Season Title. His team’s 26 wins during the 2013-14 campaign set the program record for wins in a season and still holds it, with the 2022-23 installment matching the win total. In his final year he nearly averaged a double-double behind 10.7 points and 8.3 rebounds, earning Sun Conference All-Defensive Team accolades. For his career, he shot .479 from the field while averaging 7.1 rebounds.

Putting St. Thomas into the National Conversation for the first time, the 1996 Baseball Team went 47-21 while becoming the first team in school history to advance to the NAIA National Championships. Led by Sun Conference Coach of the Year Jim Pizzalatto and with six All-Sun Conference recipients on the roster, the Bobcats won the League’s Regular Season Championship before winning the South Region Tournament to advance to the NAIA College World Series. The Bobcats went 2-2 at the World Series, ending their run against eventual Champions Lewis-Clark State in the Semifinals. The 47 wins stood as the program record for over 20 years until the 2018 team surpassed the mark with 56 wins.
