?Scott is a young and knowledgeable coach and I think he will be a tremendous addition to our staff,? Blankmeyer said. ?He?s gotten a great deal of experience in the last four years and I think our student-athletes will be able to learn a lot from him.?
Brown helped guide the SUNY-Cortland program to a 35-11 record last year, including a 15-1 record in the State University of New York Athletic Conference. The Red Dragons won their seventh-straight league title, and 12th in the last 13 years, in 2003, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 11th-straight season.
During the past two summers, Brown has served as the head coach of the Sanford (Maine) Mariners of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, one of the top college baseball leagues in the nation. This past season, he guided the Mariners to the Northern Division regular season title with a 28-14 record.

He was hired as an assistant coach after a stellar three-year pitching career at Cortland.
