La Crosse, Wis. \u2013 <\/strong>The La Crosse Loggers began their roster-building for the upcoming 2023 season today when the team announced the signings of four returnees in the form of three left-handed hurlers and one right-handed pitcher.\u00a0 Lefties Connor Harrison (Hawaii), Dylan Lapic (UT-Martin) and Micky Thompson (San Jose State) will join righty Eddie Berry (Rollins College) in returning to La Crosse this summer.<\/p>\n

\"\"Junior Connor Harrison was a workhorse for the Loggers last summer, leading the staff with 65 innings pitched over 10 starts (12 total appearances) while posting a 3-4 record with a 4.29 ERA and striking out 57 batters.\u00a0 The Hawaii left-hander was equally as effective for the Rainbows last spring, making 19 appearances (3 starts) while striking out 27 batters over 32.2 innings pitched and he limited opponents to a team-best .236 batting average.\u00a0 Prior to joining Hawaii, Harrison spent one season at Sierra Junior College where he posted a perfect 5-0 record with a miniscule 1.59 ERA over 34 innings pitched.<\/p>\n

\"\"Rising sophomore Dylan Lapic will not only be returning to the Loggers, but he\u2019ll also be returning home for the summer as the 2021 La Crosse Central High grad gets set to dawn the Logger pinstripes for another tour around the NWL.\u00a0 Lapic, a 6-3 southpaw, ranked third on the Loggers in appearances last summer with 17 (4 starts) while posting a 1-2 record with one save and a 5.35 ERA.\u00a0 The La Crosse native struck out 32 batters over 33.2 innings while limiting opponents to a .244 batting average.\u00a0 Lapic spent his freshman campaign at Milwaukee Area Technical College, where he led the Stormers staff in innings pitched (46) while posting a 3-1 record with a 3.33 ERA and punched out 57 batters.\u00a0 Lapic has now transferred to the University of Tennessee-Martin where he is preparing for his sophomore season.<\/p>\n

\"\"The third southpaw to return is junior Micky Thompson from San Jose State.\u00a0 The 6-1 Portland, Ore. native was also a key cog on the 2022 Loggers staff as Thompson ranked second on the team in strikeouts (42) over 39.2 innings pitched.\u00a0 Thompson made 12 appearances for the Lumbermen last summer, including five starts and held opponents to a .258 batting average.\u00a0 At San Jose State last spring, Thompson punched out 46 batters over 48.1 innings pitched over 16 appearances.\u00a0 Prior to joining SJSU in 2022, Thompson spent his freshman season as a member of the Washington State Cougars program prior to transferring.<\/p>\n

\"\"Right-hander Eddie Berry will be returning for his third stint in La Crosse this summer.\u00a0 Berry was a late-season addition in 2021 for the Lumbermen, making a pair of August starts where he recorded 11 innings pitched a 4.09 ERA to close out the 2021 summer.\u00a0 The Mountain Brook, Ala. native returned in 2022 on a temporary contract and posted a 1-1 record with a 2.91 ERA over 7 appearances (4 starts) while striking out 24 batters over 21.2 innings pitched.\u00a0 The rising sophomore spent his freshman season at Swarthmore College (Pa.) in 2022 where he earned All-Centennial first-team and D3 All-Region honors after posting a 3-4 record with a 3.70 ERA while striking out 54 batters over 58.1 innings pitched.\u00a0 Berry transferred in the off-season to D2 powerhouse Rollins College (Fla.) and they open their 2023 season on February 1.<\/p>\n

Berry, Harrison, Lapic, Thompson and the rest of the Loggers will open their 2023 campaign on May 29 when they travel north to Eau Claire.\u00a0 The 2023 home opener is set for May 30 at Copeland Park & Events Center.\u00a0 Season tickets and ticket packages for the 21st<\/sup> season of Loggers Baseball are on sale now with information available at\u00a0www.lacrosseloggers.com<\/a>\u00a0or by calling the Loggers ticket office at 608-796-9553.\u00a0 Fans can also visit the Loggers office at 1225 Caledonia Street, La Crosse between 8:30-5, Monday thru Friday.<\/p>\n
