Cardinal baseball team utilizing experience, depth in '93 '
By Tim McMurray
UP sports assistant
As the Lamar baseball team
opens fall workouts this week, the
Cardinals have an obvious preseason
theme: experience.
The loss of only three seniors
from last year’s 32-21 Sun Belt
Conference tournament finalist is
reason enough to believe that a solid
nucleus returns for the Cardinals.
Add to that the fact that seven of
eight position players return and mix
in a solid blend of recruits and trans-
fers, and you have the reason head
coach Jim Gilligan and associate
head coach David Hall are looking
forward to 1993.
“Our experience just coming into
the season is a tremendous advan-
tage,” Gilligan said. “We have guys
who truly gained experience last
year just by going to the conference
tournament. Some guys last year
established themselves as leaders
through their style of play, and that
will be our advantage entering this
season.”
One of those leaders who
emerged last season is senior third
baseman Kevin Millar. Millar
received All-Conference honors as a
junior with 13 home runs and 50 runs
batted in. He led the Cardinals in 10
offensive categories and was the only
Cardinal to play in all 53 games. His
total of 13 home runs was the second
highest in school history. The senior
from Los Angeles City College enters
this season with a better perspective
of his role.
“For me, the biggest thing is hav-
ing last year under my belt,” Millar
said.
“It will be easier for me to set my
individual goals because I know the
pitching better and can translate that
in my play.”
“Teamwise, we should be so
much better because we have
matured to the point where we can
be expected to win. Teams won’t be
able to overlook us.”
Other returnees on the infield will
be sophomore Donnie Schroeder at
shortstop, senior Bryan Lovelace at
second and sophomore Ryan Verde at
first base. Triny Rivera, a sophomore
who played at three different infield
positions a year ago, is also back for
1992-93.
Adding depth to the infield will
be junior transfer Sergio Galvez, a
former teammate of Millar’s at
LACC, and sophomore Bobby
Straface. Straface is a former baseball
and basketball standout from Port
Neches-Groves who has played bas-
ketball the past three seasons at
McNeese State. Freshman Morgan
Walker should also help out at first
base, as he was the leading hitter in
the Greater Houston Area as a senior
at Dulles High School.
The outfield appears solid, as all
three starters return for 1992-93.
Sophomore Anthony Iapoce, the
team's leading hitter as a freshman,
was a Mizuno Freshman All-
American last season.
Junior Bruce Aven was the Most
Valuable Player of the competitive
Karl Young League in Houston this
summer, and senior Terrell Wilson is
a four-year starter who, along with
senior pitcher Martin Connor, is the
most experienced Cardinal on this
season’s roster.
On the mound, the Cardinals lost
John Weglarz and Eric Spellman to
graduation. Those two combined for
15 of the Cardinals’ 32 victories, but
a solid nucleus of arms returns to go
with an impressive list of 10 new
members of the pitching staff.
The new additions include senior
lefthander Jeff Johnson, a transfer
from Texas A&M; freshman left-
hander Mike Pasqualicchio, a
Queens, N.Y., product who was
drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals
this summer; and freshman left-
hander Kevin Lane, a highly sought
recruit from Port Neches-Groves.
Mike Jenkins, a junior transfer from
Morehead (Calif.) Junior College has
the chance to be the stopper out of
this year’s bullpen.
Gilligan also added an interna-
tional flavor to the roster with the
additions of freshmen pitchers Owen
Meyer, Dale Hrapchak and Phil
Brassington.
Meyer and Hrapchak hail from
Canada, while Brassington is a prod-
uct of Australia.
“With the added elements of
depth and skill from our recruiting
it
class, we are excited about going fur-
ther than last season,” said Hall, the
former head coach at Rice t
University. .
Gilligan and Hall kept the idea of '
going further than last season in |
mind when they put together this
season’s schedule. Highlighting the i
schedule are games with national f-
powers Texas and LSU. Also includ-
ed are games with USL and Nicholls '
State, both NCAA playoff teams last j
season, and traditional rivals
Houston and McNeese State.
“I think our carryover feeling, i
from last season’s success will help
us win some of those early ones that 1
got away last year,” Hall said. ^
“Our respect for each other both
individually and collectively as a
team which we established last sea- (
son is a big advantage in preparing
for this year, and we want to utilize
that on the field.” £

You can say many
things about Macintosh.
But “I can’t afford it” is
no longer one of them.
You can talk about how simple the
Apple® Macintosh® computer is to use. Or
how it can think the way you think. Or
how compatible it is with other computers.
But think again when the word
“expensive” comes to mind. Because it’s
just not true any more.
Introducing the Macintosh Classic®
computer. It’s the most affordable
Macintosh, yet it has all the capabilities you
need to handle basic applications, such as
word processing and spreadsheet
analysis. The Classic is a completely
integrated Macintosh system. Its monitor,
keyboard, mouse and system software are
all included, as are extras you might not
expect—such as built-in networking and
the Apple SuperDrive~disk drive, which
lets the Classic read from and write to
MS-DOS, OS/2, and ProDOS® files.
Stop in today. We’ll show you how it’s
possible for nearly anyone to afford a
Macintosh. Comfortably.
