Nakamura and Walsh will be joined in the outfield by jun­ ior college transfer Jeff Pritchard, whose .447 average at Allan Hancock JC won him the batting title in the Western State Conference as a freshman and should make the Dons' right field spot his to lose. Freshman Jason Howard and transfer Andrew Clements will also contend for outfield spots. Hurtado is the mainstay of a young infield. Freshman Taggert Bozied will start at first base and fellow frosh Gregg Omori should get most ofthe starts at third, helped by a hot start at the plate in the Dons recent seven-game trip in Ha­ waii. Up the middle, Hurtado will be joined by junior college transfer David Meliah, who batted .373 last season at Walla Walla CC. Junior transfer Ryan Evangelho is expected to catch for the green and gold after arriving from a two-year stint at the College of San Mateo. "Our anchors on defense are our middle infield with Melieh and Hurtado," said Buller. Buller should be the authority on that. He is the ace of a young pitching staff which will rely on the Dons' defense. "If we as a staff throw strikes and get people out, we are going to win the conference, because we are going to hit the ball and play great defense," said Buller. Buller overcame an injured redshirt season to post a 5-3 record and 5.01 ERA in 12 starts. More impressively, Buller got stronger as the year wore on and the conference heated up, finishing 3-2 in WCC play with a team-leading 2.83 ERA with three complete games. "I'm looking forward to putting in a lot of innings, stay­ ing injury-free, and winning a lot of games," said Buller. "I want to be the one to be called on in the pressure situations." . USF SPORTS INFORMATION Junior lefthander Paul Deffner is the other returning Sophomore Tony Hurtado shows his aggressive style, stretching for home in WCC action last season against the Portland Pilots. pitcher, coming offa 1997 campaign in which he appeared Hurtado, who moves to second base from third this season, was named a Freshman All-American last season, batting .321. in 14 games, finishing 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA.
