JACK HUGHES • #27 • Captain • Pitcher
Graduate Studies MBA
Dudley, Mass. • Shephard Hill Reg’l H.S.

Jack returns to Saint Joseph’s College as a graduate student in 2006.
As a freshman and sophomore, Jack played a back-up role in the infield at shortstop and third base. Jack did not play during his junior year, but returned as a senior with an eye towards making a contribution to the Monks pitching staff, and that is just what he did. Jack led the team in appearances with 17, while striking out 22 batters in 17 innings pitched. Even more impressive was that Jack emerged as a real team leader – so much so that he was selected a captain for the 2006 campaign.
Coach Sanborn on Jack, “What a bonus to have Jack Hughes back in a Monks uniform for 2006! When Jack called over the summer to suggest the possibility of coming back for a graduate year and fulfilling his fourth year of eligibility, I was ecstatic. Jack has a fastball that can jump at you and when he is on, he throws a devastating slider. Not only does he provide another quality arm, but his competitive nature and confidence will have a big impact on the attitude of the ball club. Jack is a young man who really adds to team chemistry – for him, the team comes first. With Jack it is always about doing what it takes to win baseball games, and he is not afraid to push his teammates. We often refer to him as “Coach Hughes” because of his take-charge attitude. That is a great quality to have as a pitcher – and as a team leader.”
Jack is the son of Peter and Susan Hughes of Dudley, Mass.

JAKE RODDEN • #28 • Captain • Catcher
Graduate Studies MBA
Somersworth, N.H. • Somersworth H.S.

After graduating in 2005, Jake returns to Saint Joseph’s College as a graduate student and will fulfill his fourth year of athletic eligibility by donning the royal blue again in 2006. Since Jake began his career at St. Joe’s, he has established himself as a fine college receiver, a catcher the Monks’ pitching staff loves to work with. His prowess behind the dish was a big reason for SJC’s success in 2005. Although Jake struggled at the plate for much of the regular season in ‘05, he came through in the clutch during the North Atlantic Conference Tournament, including an impressive 3-4 appearance in the championship game against Husson College. For his outstanding performance, Jake was named to the All-North Atlantic Conference Championship Tournament Team.
Coach Sanborn on Jake’s return to the Royal Blue: “I couldn’t have been happier that Jake was returning to start work on his Masters Degree and play another year of college baseball. Jake is the consummate team player who always places the goals of the team ahead of everything else. Rodden is an outstanding receiver and calls a great game. Our young pitchers just seem to have more confidence when he is behind the plate. Jake also possesses a quick release and an accurate arm from behind the plate. A left-handed hitter, he will really help us to stack the lineup with lefties when we face right-handed pitching. Jake has a positive attitude and a great sense of humor which keeps things fun in the dugout. Jake has great leadership qualities, I am confident he will be an outstanding captain in 2006.”
Jake is the son of John and Linda Rodden of Somersworth, New Hampshire.

BEN MUNIZ • #9 • Captain • First Base
Senior • English
Readfield, Maine • Maranacook Community H.S.

After a disappointing junior year which was marred by a serious injury, Ben Muniz is poised to have a big season in 2006. During an early game on the 2005 Florida trip, Ben fouled a baseball off his right ankle. Although he could barely walk, he continued to play for the remainder of the Florida trip. When the team returned to St. Joe’s, x-rays revealed that Ben had fractured his ankle. Ben was sidelined for the remainder of the regular season – returning to limited action in the playoffs.
The 2006 Monks are certainly looking forward to having one of the top hitters in the conference back in the lineup. Ben is a left-handed line drive hitter who hits for both power and average and has a knack for the big RBI. Ben is also a fine first baseman – very adept at his footwork around the bag and at digging bad throws out of the dirt. Monks fans will be hoping for an injury free season for Muniz in 2006.
Coach Sanborn on Ben, “The coaching staff is praying for Ben to get through his senior year injury free. I don’t think other teams in the conference realize what a force he will be in our lineup because he has battled injuries in both his last two seasons. As a sophomore he played the majority of the season with a cast on his right hand, then as a junior he missed most of the year with a fractured ankle. The good news is Ben is healthy this spring and he has worked very hard at his conditioning program in the off-season. Ben is one of the best students of the art of hitting I have had here at St. Joe’s. He is also a fine first baseman who can make infielders better because of his skills around the bag. Ben has stepped it up in the area of team leadership and has been named one of our captains in 2006.”
Ben is the son of Alex and Sandi Muniz of Readfield, Maine.

MARK CLAPP • #7 • Infield • Junior • Liberal Studies
Blue Hill, Maine • George Stevens Academy

When Mark transferred in to Saint Joseph’s College in the spring of 2004, none of his teammates realized the impact he would have on the ball club. Mark began the season in Florida, filling in as a backup player at third base and second base. Following the spring trip, he made the move to shortstop and played almost every inning at that position for the remainder of the year. Not only did he do a fine job at shortstop, but Mark ended the season as the third leading hitter on the club, batting .287 with 15 RBIs. As a sophomore, Mark moved to second base and had an outstanding year. Mark batted .320 with 29 RBI (4th), 48 hits (4th) and scored 31 runs (4th). Mark also gave the Monks consistency up the middle and was part of a fine double play combination. In 2006, look for Mark to make the move to third base as Coach Sanborn takes advantage of his versatility once again.
Mark is the son of Patricia and Robert Clapp of Blue Hill, Maine.

BEN CUTTER • #32 • Pitcher • Junior • Marine Science
Westbrook, Maine • Westbrook H.S.

Ben came to the Saint Joseph’s College pitching staff from Westbrook High School where he led the Telegram League in strikeouts as a senior and was the recipient of the Fred Harlow Award. A left-handed pitcher, Ben had a fine freshman season with St. Joe’s - mixing a good fastball, curve and a fine change up. In 2004, Ben led the staff in winning percentage with a 3-1 record. He duplicated that mark in 2005, once again going 3-1 and finishing with a respectable 4.23 era. In one of the most memorable victories of the season, Ben defeated the University of Southern Maine 5-3. During that game Ben kept USM off balance with his change up while yielding only two earned runs in 6 2/3 innings for the victory. Coach Sanborn looks for Ben to step it up another notch and compete to pitch at the top of the rotation in 06.
Ben is the son of Judy and Erland Cutter of Westbrook, Maine.

KEIL MARTIN • #3 • Outfield • Junior
Communications • Saco, Maine • Thornton Academy

As a senior, Keil hit .413 and was a First Team All-Conference selection, a member of the All-Defensive Team and, most importantly, was selected for the SMAA All-Academic Team. As a freshman at St. Joe’s, Keil was streaky – hitting .284 with 5 stolen bases. Keil fell victim to hard luck as a sophomore and broke his wrist three days before the team left for Florida. Although his injury kept him out for the entire college season, Keil had an outstanding summer in the Portland Twilight League where he finished the season tied for the league lead in hits. A hard worker with a great attitude – Keil provides key leadership on and off the field for St. Joe’s and is a member of the Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC).
Keil is the son of Mary Ann and Roger Martin of Saco, Maine.

He possesses a sharp slider and a split finger that can be devastating to opposing hitters. With experience as both a starter and reliever, his talents and versatility should serve to strengthen the Monks staff.
Sam is the son of Nathaniel and Judith Tupper of Yarmouth, Maine.

CHRIS DOUGHTY • #30 • Infield • Junior • Business Management • Windham, Maine • Cheverus H.S.

Chris played his high school baseball at Cheverus High School in Portland for Al Livingston. One of the best hitters in the Telegram League, Chris hit .426 as a junior and .419 as a senior, winning the Fred C. Welch Athletic Award in his senior year.
As a freshman at St. Joe’s, Chris played the infield, but will be much more comfortable this sesason as he makes the move to the outfield. His strong arm and good instincts should make him a key addition in the outfield. Coach Sanborn looks for Chris to be one of the biggest surprises in the North Atlantic Conference in 2006, as he could emerge as one of the Conference’s top hitters. After spending his sophomore year away from baseball, Chris is very excited about making an impact in 2006.
Chris is the son of Ellie and Bruce Doughty of Windham, Maine.

DAN ENMAN • #20 • Pitcher • Junior • Sports Management • Milan, N.H. • Berlin H.S.

As a freshman, Dan led the St. Joe’s pitching staff in appearances with 17 and posted a respectable 4.81 ERA. This crafty right-hander has a “sneaky” fastball that he can locate within the strike zone. Along with a breaking pitch and knuckle ball, Dan has one of the best change ups on the staff. As a sophomore Dan did not meet his own expectations – although his 15 appearances was second on the staff, he finished 2-2 and seemed, at times, to struggle with his control.
As a position player, Dan can play both the outfield and infield and he has a quick bat with deceptive power. A real competitor, look for Dan to rebound in 2006 and make a contribution both on the mound and in the outfield.
Dan Enman is the son of Steve and Melinda Enman of Berlin, New Hampshire.

CHARLIE FURBUSH • #31 • Pitcher
Sophomore • Liberal Studies •
South Portland, Maine • South Portland H.S.

This 6’5" lefty burst onto the North Atlantic Conference baseball scene in 2005 and quickly became one of the most talked-about players in New England at any level. A highly touted player out of high school, Charlie played for Tony DiBiase at South Portland High. Although he was the SMAA Most Valuable Player during his senior year, no one could have predicted the impact he would have on the Monks program in his first year.
As a freshman pitcher, Charlie was 7-1 with a stingy 1.75 earned run average. Perhaps the most amazing statistic is that Charlie walked only 11 batters, striking out 70 while opponents batted only .209 against him. As if this was not enough, he also was a key weapon in the Monks offense – batting .392 with 32 RBIs! Charlie was selected team Most Valuable Player as well as Co-Player of the Year in the North Atlantic Conference (along with Monks senior catcher Derek McIntosh). Perhaps most impressive was that he was named by the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Coaches Association to the 2005 All-New England Division III Baseball First Team.
After finishing his freshman year, Charlie had the honor of playing in the Cape Cod League for the Hyannis Mets, where he led his team in innings pitched and strikeouts. Charlie will play for the Mets in the Cape League again in 2006.
Charlie is the son of Beth Roderick and Craig Furbush of South Portland, Maine.

BRIAN SCHOOLS • #4 • Infield • Sophomore

During his senior year Brian hit .395 and was his team’s Most Valuable Player.
As a freshman at Saint Joseph’s College, Brian stepped into the starting shortstop position and was one of the keys to the fine defensive effort of the ball club. Brian’s quickness and outstanding instincts allow him to cover a great deal of territory in the middle infield. His strong arm and good hands make him one of the top shortstops in New England. Brian also had a great freshman year swinging the bat – hitting an impressive .314 with 30 runs scored out of the nine hole. Look for Brian to move to the top of the order in 2006 and continue to improve his defensive consistency.
Brian will travel to Virginia and play for the Danville Cougars of the Mountain Valley Collegiate Athletic Conference in the summer of 2006.
Brian is the son of Debbie and Galen Schools of Gorham, Maine

In his first season of college baseball Luke hit .333 with 29 RBIs, scored 35 runs (3rd) and hit 6 home runs (2nd).
As a freshman, Luke was used primarily as an outfielder because of injuries to other players. As a sophomore, Luke will move to second base – giving Coach Sanborn one of the quickest double play combinations in New England. Luke is a key part of a left handed hitting lineup (Coach Sanborn could have the ability to start eight left-handed batters against right-handed pitching). Monks fans look for Luke to emerge as one of the top Division III players in New England in the next couple of years.
Luke will play for the Danville (Virginia) Cougars in the Mountain Athletic Collegiate Baseball Conference in the summer of 2006.
Luke is the son of Steve and Melinda Enman of Milan, New Hampshire.
