Rich Kuhta played three seasons of baseball and two seasons of basketball for the Dons.
Head Coach George McGlynn will have a good nucleus of ballplayers returning to don the Green and Gold uniforms. Leading Don hitters Bob Pindroh and Rick Kuhta, along with Nick Willard, Skip Schaeffer, Rick Reitz, Gene Cervantes and Joe Gill, and a competent pitching staff, should provide USF with another strong team.
The USF baseball team took a well deserved win against the Santa Clara Broncos last Wednesday, 8-5. Behind the pitching of Frank Burch and hitting of Rick Kuhta and Bob Pindroh, the Dons hacked out 14 hits and came from behind to take the game.
The USF Freshman baseball squad began its league schedule last Thursday with a 13-1 victory over the San Francisco State Frosh. Roger Strack, showing a lot of control picked up the victory. Bob Pindroh led the club offensively with three hits in four trips. Tom Hanson played a fine game at shortstop for the Dons. Last Tuesday the squad hosted San Jose State in a double-header. Steve Brackow won the first game 7-3 behind a balanced 14 hit attack. Nick Willard came through with a clutch bases loaded double to provide the winning runs. Rober Strack, with good hitting support from Rick Kuhta and Joe McNeil, won the second game with a four hit performance. Lon Gallagher and Dan Quinn also played good ball. The final tally was 4-2 (TheFoghorn).
