Most of the early season success
stems from Coach Tom Chandler’s
veteran pitching staff.
James “Hoot” Gibson, Clint
Thomas, and David Lockett share an
amazing 18-1 record. They have
yielded only 73 hits in 134 innings
and have combined to strike out 130
batters. The three-some has tossed
eight shutouts and given up a mere
45 walks.
Individually, Gibson is 8-0 and
owns a 0.38 earned run average. He
has not allowed a run since the first
inning of his opening appearance.
Thomas, 6-1, leads in the strikeout
category, fanning 50 batters in 45 in
nings of work. He is one career vic
tory shy of tying the school record of
21 set by Steve Hillhouse in 1964-
1966.
Lockett has thrown 41 2/3 innings,
striking out 44 and maintaining a
1.94 ERA. He is 5-0 for the year and
has a 15-3 career mark.
In the slugging department, all-
America prospect Billy Raymer
holds the top spot with a .514 aver
age. He has 26 runs batted in and has
crossed the plate 17 times. In 28
games, he has four doubles, one tri
ple, and two home runs.
