Mequon, WI –The Lakeshore Chinooks have announced the additions of two more pitchers for Eddy Morgan’s 2015 pitching staff. Right-handed hurlers Sam Burum (Seton Hall) and Lake Bachar (UW-Whitewater) will bring their best to Mequon to square off against some of the best hitters in college baseball.

Sam Burum is a 6’5 junior pitcher who owns a perfect 7-0 record–mostly out of the bullpen–in his three seasons for the Seton Hall Pirates. The native of Robbinsdale, NJ is 2-0 with a 2.38 ERA in his third collegiate season, striking out 23 batters in 35 innings of work. For his career, the productive Burum has notched a career ERA of 2.83 in 94 innings of work.

Lake Bachar will fill the spot of Warhawk teammate Austin Jones, who was slated to return to Lakeshore prior to an elbow injury that ended his season. Bachar stepped in as a freshman starter for the defending D-III National Champion Warhawks with a 6-1 record and 2.63 ERA in 51.1 innings of work as the Warhawks once again have advanced to the NCAA tournament. Bachar, a native of Wheaton, IL, played both baseball and football for Wheaton North High School.
