Randy Mazey

The East Carolina University Board of Trustees approved a contract extension for head baseball coach Randy Mazey on Tuesday. Mazey's contract was extended two years until June 30, 2008 and his annual salary was increased to $100,000 per year.

In two years as ECU's head baseball coach, Mazey has guided the Pirates to an overall record of 85-40-1 (.679), two NCAA Tournament appearances, and a Conference USA regular season championship.

Under his direction this past season, ECU won a school-record 51 games and advanced to its second NCAA Super Regional in the past four years. The Pirates established numerous records throughout the 2004 campaign, including school and Conference USA records for consecutive wins, and received its highest final national ranking, eighth. As a result of the Pirates' outstanding achievements, Mazey was named the recipient of the 2004 Keith LeClair Coach of the Year Award, which recognizes C-USA's best coach in honor of the former ECU skipper.

Mazey, an assistant coach at ECU under LeClair during the 1998 season, became the school's ninth head coach on July 1, 2002.
