Seminole Manager Warren Projects Strong Lawton Pitching
Seminole manager Tommy Warren, 37, predicts Lawton's pitching staff will be tough as they press for the Sooner State league pennant. John Starzynski capped a 1-0 shutout over the Oilers, while Warren juggled health concerns and travel mishaps including appendicitis skepticism and a Bricks-on-road scare. Warren’s past includes a 1946 Tulsa season highlight and postwar semi pro work as a player-manager, underscoring his hustle philosophy as the Oilers chase pace with Lawton.
