fln MOISTED 6, 1977 C5 Hoover Tools Powerful Rustler Baseball Team Flying Parson Gil Dodds Buried Today Golden West 1977 baseball roster reads like a listing of Southern California Conference all stars. Entering his 11th year as Rustler head coach, Fred Hoover has assembled one of the most formidable teams in Golden West history, boasting eight players who made one of the conference all-star squads last year. The veterans are: first baseman Larry Kubacki, second baseman Doug Mansolino. third baseman Mike Selwood, outfielders Jim Bruneaux and Vince Bienek, designated hitter Scott Desrosier, plus two Cypress College transfers, catcher Dave Huppert and outfielder Jeff Evans. Golden West also has three other sophomores back, shortstop Jerry Velasquez and pitchers Brian Costelloe and Daryl Paine.

should be pretty Hoover said. this point we have any real weak points other than the inexperience of our pitchers. Our freshmen pitchers have done an adequate job this winter considering scrimmaged mostly four-year schools. The two sophomores. Costelloe and Paine, will be the mainstays of the pitching staff.

Costelloe fought off a bout of mononucleosis this winter and is just rounding into shape. He saw limited duty last spring, but he has excellent control and keeps the ball low. Paine was the top freshman pitcher in 1976, posting a 3-1 record. Hoover has been especially pleased with the work of two freshmen. Chuck Robertson (Fountain Valley) and Peter White (Newport Harbor).

Other freshmen mound hopefuls are Steve Natsuhara (Bolsa Grande). Tom Schlepp (Cypress), Chuck Leidenheimer (La Quinta) and Mike Pantuso (Newport Harbor). All the pitchers need to do is keep the Rustlers close. There is an abundance of run-scoring potential throughout a lineup that features speed, bat control, and power. have better team speed than ever Hoover said.

all our players can handle the bat in hit-and-run or bunt-and-run situations. also have four guys who are definite home run threats Sugar Ray Leonard Collects Decision BALTIMORE (AP) Sugar Ray Leonard didn't score a knockout as predicted, but the charismatic Olympic champion earned a whopping $40,000 in his pro debut while scoring a unanimous six-round victory over Luis Vega Saturday. predicted a fourth round Leonard said after the nationally televised junior welterweight bout, which drew a crowd of 10.270 to the Civic Centre. glad it went the distance because it gave me a chance to see how tough this pro game is The 20-vear-old Leonard was given each round by the three officials, and the victory was a popular one with a crowd which contributed to a gross gate of $72,320. His purse included $10,000 from the Columbia Broadcasting System Leonard said the experienced Vega proved to be a tough opponent.

as predicted by veteran trainer Angelo Dundee, who was in corner along with regular trainer Dave Jacobs. Asked why he nodded to a group of spectators late in the fight. Leonard said he was directing his attention to those who had heard his knockout prediction. was looking at them, and saying. he said.

Leonard said he failed to follow up an advantage in the fourth round because he didn't want to take any chances in his first pro fight. Vega survived that onslaught, but he never threatened to overtake Leonard lead in points. Leonard, who won 145 of 150 amateur bouts, scored impressively in the fourth round, opening a cut over the left eye of Vega. The Puerto Rican now fighting out of Reading. held his own after that but as unable to land any heavy blows against the fast-sleppmg Leonard.

Leonard, who had never fought more than three rounds previously, appeared to for a knockout in the final 30 seconds. But. Vega, who has never been knocked down in 26 pro fights, weathered the furious attack. Leonard, from Palmer Park. was a crowd favorite with his bolo punches, and an occasional stutter step, and once drew a loud cheer when he motioned to Vega to come after him Referee Harry Cecchini.

and judges Terry Moore and Tom Kelly each scored the bout giving Leonard a 5-4 edge in Huppert. Selwood, Kubacki and But a winning team also needs to be fundamentally sound in the field and the Rustlers are blessed with a veteran infield, speedy outfield, and two excellent arms behind the plate. infield may turn out to be the best ever had at Golden Hoover said. The Rustlers will start an sophomore infield if Velasquez can fight off a strong challenge from freshman Ken Munger (Kennedy) at shortstop. Kubacki, a .324 hitter last year, will open at first base and Selwood, a recent draft choice of the Chicago White Sox, will man third base.

Mansolino will anchor the infield at second base. The sophomore hit a phenomenal .432 last year and was a first- team, all-Southern California and a second-team, all-state selection. John Anderson (Bolsa Grande) will be the Rustlers' back-up infielder. outfielders all possess fine throwing arms and they have the speed to get any bail hit into their Hoover said. The opening day lineup may feature Evans, who hit .338 at Cypress last year.

Bienek. a .307 hitter with the Rustlers, and freshman John Moses (Western), who hits left-handed and has 3.7 speed to first base. Bruneaux, the top utility player last spring. Steve Nemeth (Rancho Alamitos) and Greg Hanson (La Quinta) will provide back-up relief in the outfield. Desrosier will give Golden West a powerful designated hitter.

He had five round-trippers in 1976 to finish among the conference leaders. be aided by freshman Jim Kiser (Bolsa Grande). The catching department is in good hands with Huppert and Cal Peters. Huppert matched .432 average in conference last spring and has shown excellent power this winter. Peters is a transfer from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa.
