Baseball team to go to bat bp
with five returning lettermen
By Sara Martens
The Huskers have lost a number of key
players from last year's baseball team
which proved to be the best in Nebraska
history. The 1979 Husken compiled a 48
13 record before being eliminated from the
NCAA Northeast regional tournament in
the semifinal round.
Gone to the pro draft is junior first
baseman Pete O'Brien, and seniors, catcher
Val Primante, second baseman John Russo,
designated hitter Bob Gebler and pitchers
Tim Pettit and Jeff Costello. But this is
far from a rebuilding year for the Huskers
as they return Ave lettermen to go with six
prep recruits and five junior college
transfers.
"Coach Sanders has had another fine
recruiting year. The pro draft contested
Nebraska for the players we wanted, not
other colleges," said Joe Scherger, a three
year letterman for the Huskers who was
selected to the All-Big Eight, All-Big Eight
tournament and All-Big Eight academic
teams.
The Husker recruits include three prep
players selected in the pro draft. Pitcher
Stan Kyles from Chicago, was chosen in
the fourth round by the Chicago Cubs.
He went 112 his senior in high school
with an earned run average of 1.12.
Kyles is joined by another pitcher, Steve
Gehrke from Murray, Utah. Gehrke was
drafted by the Cubs in the fifth round.
Other recruits include: Steve Stanicek,
a nrst baseman who went in the 16th
round to the St. Louis Cardinals, and
Nebraska players Steve Hergenrader, a
shortstop from Omaha Burke, catcher Nick
Richards from Papillion, and Lincoln
Southeast standout Mark McManaman,
brother of former Husker Steve
McManaman. Steve shares the UNL season
pitching record of 6-0 in 1977 with Ray
Novak, who pitched in 1953.
Junior college players transferring to
Nebraska include shortstop Chris Chavez, a
.377 leadoff hitter for West Los Angeles
J"ni0' College. Chavez earned first team
All Western State Conference honors.
Rick Evans, a designated hitter-pitcher
from El Camino Junior College, has been
drafted three times in his baseball career.
Last season he hit .353 and was 1-0 with a
.60 ERA.
Another former pro draft choice to join
the Huskers is catcher Mark Haley, who
was Santa Barbara Junior College's most
valuable player, hitting .326.
Two more junior college transfers, Tim
Sinovich, two-year starting catcher at Cen
tral Arizona State and Mark Prior, short
stop from Mt. San Antonio College, com
plete Nebraska's recruiting list.
Adding the recruits to the returning
Huskers, Scherger predicts another' suc
cessful year.
"I'm going to go out there, have fun
piaying bail, and win the Big Eight."
