Roger Strack, a native of San Francisco played for the Dons under Coach Dante Benedetti as a right-handed pitcher. He played for all four seasons and graduated in History in 1968.
USF returned home over the weekend, hosting UOP, the circuit's number two ranked team. Roger Strack, pitching back to his form of a year ago, deadened the Tiger bats en route to a 4-1 triumph. It was the hurler's third straight win, after opening the season with five consecutive losses.
The ace of the mound corps is senior Roger Strack, a hard throwing right hander. Roger had an impressive 8-0 record last season, with an ERA of 1.74, earned against the toughest teams the Dons faced.
Roger Strack, who has pitched brilliantly in his last couple of outings, held the nation's number one ranked collegiate team to just four hits and two walks, while striking out seven men on the Indians' Sunken Diamond. Strack's efforts almost went for naught, however, as Hilltop errors betrayed him and provided the Indians with all their runs. Down by a run in the second, Joe Gill's home run and consecutive singles by Schafer, Dunn, and Strack gave the Dons a 2-1 margin. Stanford then went on to tie it up in the third and go ahead 4-2 in the sixth. USF got one of the runs back in the seventh, and won the game in the eighth on Gill's single, a walk to Shafer, a run-scoring single by Dunn and Strack's ground ball (TheFoghorn).
