Baseball 3? -QP Top row: Dave Schwark, Danny Buss, Larry Wetzel, Bill Eiring, lim Kalk. Second row: Ron Brajdic, Bob Bestor, Tony Meade, Tom Erickson, Carl Schmidt, Chuck Brunau. Bottom row: Dick Wirtz, Bob Hochrein, lim Machsam, Tom Soukup, Ierry Floyd, lim Schmidt. With only tivo lettermen returningeirom a crack '59 squad, Coach Fritz Loutenschlager was laced with a tremendous task oi whipping together a winning combination. In all, fifty-nine enthusiastic aspirants reported to Coach Lautenschlager and Assistant Coach Woody Bilse. The championship '59 club compiled a neat l0-2 record in regular season play, and then won eight successive WIAA tour- nament games only to lose out to Oconomowoc, 3-2. in the State Finals. Lost from that superb nine are such stars as Bob Felda, Dick Bestor, Tim Hurst, and pitcher extraordinary, Hub King, who posted a spectacular 33-2 over-all record in high school and American Legion competition including several no-hitters. Cold. rainy weather has not only hindered the conditioning oi the '60 squad but has already caused several postponements. However, in games to-date, our Cards have split in a home and home series with Menasha St. Mary's, 7-12 and 7-5, gained a split in a doubleheader against Oshkosh, 7-2 and 2-3, and dropped a doubleheader to Manitowoc by the identical scores ot 3-1. Although Dave Schwark has been meeting the ball consistently, boosting a near 500 average, the ability to hit with regu- larity has been the real bugaboo ot the Card nine. Pitching, with Karl Schmidt and Iim Kalk shouldering most of the burden, has been improving with each game. Completing the mound staii are Dan Buss and Bill Eiring. Doing the greater share of the backstopping has been Randy Hop- ton. Bob Bestor, and Ron Bradic. Infield chores has been in the hands oi Larry Wetzel, Tom Soukup, Chuck Bru- nau, and Dick Wirtz, and rounding out the outfield are Dave Schwark, lim Schmidt and Bob Hochrein. The util- ity problem gives Coach Lautenschlager no worry as Iim Macksam and Tony Meade are everready for the infield or outfield respectively. With continued good pitching plus some improvement at the plate, the Cards can still turn the '60 regular sea- son into a winner. Also, with the WIAA tournament opening on May 16 against Kewaskum at Fairgrounds Park, our Fondy nine could cut a real swath in the ies- tivities-perhaps win the iinal one this year. M.
