PAGE 32 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE Tigers still chasing magical .500 mark in Interâ€"County play have accomplished only once in the past eight seasons. The club finished atop the Hamel Division in 1983 with a 21â€"13 record. Last year‘s squad managed a fourthâ€"place Hamel Division finish with a 15â€"19 record, a significant improvement over 1986‘s 925 mark, but still a long way from the league‘s upper crust. Tigers made a quick exit in the playoffs, bowing out to the eventual champions from Stratford in five games. â€" o ‘"Realistically we‘re looking to play .500 ball or better," said general manager Fred Kursiâ€" kowski in an interview this week. Rightâ€"hander Jamie Young will return as the team‘s No. 1 pitcher this season and attempt to improve on last year‘s 4â€"5 wonâ€"lost record. Waterloo pitchers combined for a woeful 6.49 ERA last season. Chronicle Staff Waterloo Tigers took a significant stride towards respectability during last year‘s Interâ€" County Major Baseball League schedule. This year they‘d like to reach it. Respectability at Bechtel Park is anything J.D. Yari will once again lead the club on the field and in the dugout. In his first year as field manager last season, Yari aided his cause by smashing nine homers and 37 RBI‘s to go along with a .365 average. â€"ALLMMA N 2 BAST PLACE * RR #1 WATERLOO 664 3690 Mon. â€" Fri. 9 â€" 6 Sat. 9 â€" 5 Sun. 10 â€" 4 Gord Scharf, Nick Noonan and Mike Simp U | Y | OFrI COCOA BEAN MULCH 3 cu. ft.
