Go for it! was the motto that the boys' baseball teams followed this year. They knew they could have anything that they really Wanted, and because of this, Thornwood had three conference Winning teams. This was the first time in ten years that the Varsity Baseball team won conference. As the pitcher of the championship game, junior George Goich put it, It was really a great feeling to be on the team that made school history by winning confer- ence and breaking so many personal and team records. Personal records that were broken this year included Jeff Sche- linski's 30 runs and 30 stolen basesg Jim Van Gennep's 26 Walksg Steve SWinney's 98 at bats, 39 hits, 8 homers, 75 total bases and 80 RBI'sg Mike Kazmierczak's 28 strike-outsg Jeff Persins 14 errorsg Rob Flem- ing's 8 savesg Tom Holobowskfs 54 pitched innings and 35 strike-outsg and John Riester's 34 walks. Steve Swinney, Mike Kazmierc- zak, and John Riester were all named to the S.I.C.A. North Division All Conference Team coached this year by Don McAlvey. VARSITY RESULTS TW OPP.
