The most outstanding player was junior Terry Fife with a 12-0 record. Strike- outs were his specialty, along with his no-hitter against Angola. Fife was named to the All-Conference first team as pitcher. Also with him were senior Jeff Dalman at second base and freshman Kent Berning at shortshop. On the All-Conference second team, senior Fritz Sirk was named to the centertield position and homerun hitting junior Brad Schuchhardt was nominated at third base. The Spartans had a 9-0 conference record to win the NEIAC crown. They ad- vanced two games into the Regional play- offs but unfortunately lost the champion- ship to Warsaw, 8-4. Freshman Kent Berning set a new single season school record for batting average with a .408 mark to finish off a good season.
