Title
1973 Yearbook
Description
Coach Gerry Hamel takes a realistic
view of this coming season. He feels that
the new team will win its share of games.
Although the Bees are not as strong in
pitching as the Coach would like, Gary
Laake, Harry DeLange, Mark Panno, Karl
Burmeister and Bob Oderwald are
expected to reliably handle the starting
chores. Jerry O'Rourke and MarkTripolino
will be in the bullpen.
Hitting is our strongest point. Karl Lu-
zum .400, "Bo" Carroll .391, Mike Pusc-
as .381, DaveThomason .382, Skip Whalen
.318, Rich Louck .333, lead on impressive
punch.
The Coach feels that he is strong up the
middle with Louck catching, the superb
combination of Thomason and Oderwald
at short and second, and Randy Bahl and
John Cornelis in center. Steve Cutler, Dave
Walters, Paul Kelsey and Curt Wilson are
expected to continue with their fine
performance.

sluggers? BELOW: 1973 Tri-captains Randy Bahl, Mike Carroll, and Mark Panno.
