'Cai Nine Finish Second Finishing second seemed to be the rule for NorthWestern's spring sports and the varsity baseball team was no exception. The Wildcats were run- ners-up to N orthern's nine. The 8-8 record and the second place finish were largely due to the efforts of the Johnson and Johnson duo. Van Johnson the power-hitting outfielder- pitcher and the strong armed Kevin Johnson, who was the ace of the pitching staff, provided the punch the 'Cats needed to overpower their oppo- nents.

J. V. Nine Qfrikes Uuf A lack of consistent pitching and clutch hitting led to a poor showing by Northwestern's J.V. baseball team. Finishing with a mark of 5-7, the team often lost games. Outstand- ing performances were delivered by G. Watson who led the team with a batting average of .500 and A. Frank- lin who hit at a .420 clip. Top right: Wildcat takes his cut. Left: J.V.
