"Last season was a big year for us and it's a matter of sustaining it this season." Schrage will look to a good blend of returning players and talented freshmen. " If the returning players have good seasons and the freshmen fit the roles they need to, we can have a successful season," said Schrage. "The players have something to prove. They' re stri ving for th a ~ next level, making the playoffs. We want this program to have a legitimate opportunity to be in the MVC playoffs every season." The Panthers will be anchored in the infield with j unior Brian Jergenson, who hit .241 with a career-high fo ur home runs and added 23 RBI a year ago.

"All four are very talented, but unte ted in the MVC," said Schrage. The fifth freshman, Scott Sobkowiak, is expected to give the Panthers a lot of innings and be a starting pitcher. "He's the best freshman pitcher we have recruited, as far as talent," said Schrage. Sobkowiak was a three-time conference player-of-the year and pitched on two AAU Junior Olympic teams. Junior Dave Bourland, a transfer from Waldorf JC, is expected to be the closer. "Bourland is a converted catcher and possesses a strong arm," said Schrage. Sophomore Chad Wiltgen is a transfer from Arizona and might find a spot in the starting rotation. "He has a great arm and has the physical tools to be a good MVC pitcher and we look for him to have a big season," said Schrage. Andy Rocksvold Overall, Schrage says the team's success will improve as the season goes on after the freshmen pitchers get experience. He "He catches everything and gets to the ball well."

"He will hit in the lead-off spot and has the best speed on the squad," said Schrage. J Sophomore Josh Dunham will likely be the starter in • rightfield. "He has the strongest arm in the outfield, with good speed and he runs well," notes Schrage. Others battling for spots in the outfield are junior Chad Barnes and Cory Thorson along with sophomore Ryan McGuire. "Barnes is a very strong left-handed hitter while Thorson and McGuire give us added depth," said Schrage. Barnes is a tran fer from Simp on College and Thorson from North Iowa Area Community College, where he was an all-subregion outfielder. McGuire played at Black Hawk College. Senior Jeff Johannsen returns as the lone returning starting pitcher after fini shing 6-3 last ea on with a 3.63 ERA. He had fi ve complete games with three shutout while holding the opposition to a .224 batting average. Included in hi wins were victories over Florida International, Southwest Missouri State and Wichita State. "Johannsen will anchor our pitching staff," added Schrage. "He knows how to win big games and we look for him to continue his success." From an experience standpoint, the next three pitchers are sophomore Scott Brickman, Kevin Briggeman and Scott Hoey. All three pitched last eason for the Panthers. "We expect Jeff Johannsen Brickman to move into the rotation and be a solid performer. Briggeman is the most improved pitcher on the staff and could start and Hoey will anchor our bullpen as the set-up man," said Schrage. Hoey allowed no earned runs in six innings last season. 5 N ({]) TtrJ!Ja Heading into his in 1985 and 1986, where he was instrumental in recruiting the sixth season at Northern class ranked fifth in the nation in 1985, according to Collegiate Iowa, head coach Dave Baseball.
