Dale Eagar CEO SOFTBALL NEW ZEALAND – PITCHING FOR THE FUTURE
Editor’s note: Kevin Herlihy was one of the greatest pitchers of his era. I had the good fortunte to call him a teammate in Lakewood in 1986. When David Blackburn organized an ISC Hall of Fame “Tribute to Legends” earlier this year, to celebrate the upcoming induction of Ed Klecker, and Greg Sepulveda, Herlihy made arrangements to phone in from his native New Zealand, (Hice Stiles holding the mike in photo) to wish his best to teammate Sepulveda. The two were teammates when the Lancaster Chameleons won the 1983 ISC World Tournament. We wish a speedy recovery for Kevin.
