Missing players dash hopes ot state game A trip to state did not materi- alize for the varsity baseball team due to a loss of many players for technical difficul- ties. mln the beginning our sights were set high, but as we lost players due to grades, in- juries, and players quitting, we lost our drive, stated lim Nel- son, pitcher. Four players recognized as All-Conference players were William Bigham, Will Svilar, Steve Szumski and Ken Tatina. Tatina was also named to the All-Area team. 'll don't think l played as well as l could have but was honored to make All- Conference. l hope 1 can help the team more next year, stat- ed Svilar. Leading hitters for the Fal- cons, Tatina C.352D, Bigham t.333D and lim Banasiak C3075 added support to the team. From the bullpen came leading pitcher Larry Eliott with a 2-l record and a 2.10 ERA. Help was also given by loe lanz, Nelson, Eric Pfister, Steve Straka and Tatina. The sophomore team ended its season with a ll-13 record. The freshmen were 18-5. 124 Baseball 12 Opponent Stagg T F North T F South Richards T F North Crete Bremen Homewood Flossmoor Flossmoor Thornton Thornton Thornwood Thornwood Eisenhower Eisenhower T.F.
