Coming hack with his old excellence after an injury was pitcher Bolo Sievert. 94 Coach Van Wagoner began practice with a series of indoor sessions designed to find the potential of each player.

Paul Tonnemacher supplemented his excellent pitching with a hefty batting average. He played an important role in the team's hopes.
