Dave Dusellier was a dominant force on the mound for the Skippers in the mid-70s and continued to baffle batters after leaving St. Clair County Community College.
Dusellier played at SC4 in 1974 and 1975, finishing his time as a Skipper with an 11-2 record and an earned-run average below two. While playing summer amateur ball, he won 45 straight games from 1972-75.
After his second season at SC4, he transferred to Western Michigan and didn’t slow down. He was named Second-Team All-Mid-American Conference as a junior, as he finished with a 6-2 record and 1.86 ERA. His senior season was cut short due to an injury, but he never finished a collegiate season with an ERA above two.
Dusellier graduated from Western in 1978 with a degree in political science and criminal justice. He is now retired after working as the Port Director for U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the Blue Water Bridge.
“My freshman year (at SC4), we came one out shy of getting to the national tournament,” he said. “The quality of players that Dick Groch recruited there for a junior college was incredible. I learned so much about baseball from him. After I graduated, I came back and was the pitching coach for him for three years.”
