Northeastern ' s team finished second with a team average of 77.75, to winning Rockford ' s 77.50 average. Bobka was also advanced to the na- tional championships in North Carolina.

Apparently the seniors ' goals were realized. Left to Right: Anthony Schimpf (coach), Jeff Georgolis, Rick Jankowski, Larry Bobka, Joe Sulsar, Peter Setze, Daniel Caporusso.

Baseball Team Has Poor Season Northeastern ' s baseball team finished their season with a record of 14 wins, 26 losses, and one tie. Hopes for a good season went unfulfilled as the Ea- gles began losing games. In one double header, the Eagles lost due to poor luck. In the sixth inning of the first game the umpire called Rick Szukala ' s triple when he determined that Szukala ' s headgear wasn ' t NCAA approved. That call resulted in two runners returning to their bases from home. The Eagles lost both games of the double-header against Illinois State. New opponents during 1982 includ- ed Illinois State, Greenville, Southern Il- linois, McKendree, and Rockford. The Eagles also traveled to H ouston, Texas to battle Midwestern State University, Texas Wesleyan, and Sam Houston. 24
