In an emotional meet in Carmi
chael Auditorium Saturday night, the
UNC gymriastics team lost to the
Penn State Nittany Lions despite
scoring 183.6 points. Penn State, a
perennial gymnastics power, accum
ulated 184.25 points.
Despite the loss, UNC head coach
Derek Galvin was not disappointed
in the least. In fact, he was ecstatic.
"This is the most points we have
scored in' two years," Galvin said.
"Also for the first time in two years,
we had every team member healthy,
t so we expected to do well."

"We had a few breaks on bars that
were uncharacteristic," Galvin said.
"Even so, I was very proud of the
girls. They put in a lot of effort
tonight."
As usual, UNC was led by senior
Stacy Kaplan and freshman Carrie
Suto. Suto finished second in the all
around behind Penn State's Lynn
Crane, losing by only .05 points.
Kaplan finished third, four tenths of
a point behind Suto. The two tied
for third in the vault, and tied again,
this time for first, on the balance
beam with 9.65. They finished one
two on the floor, with Suto scoring
a 9.4 and Kaplan a 9.35.
"Carrie and Stacy have been
pushing each other all year compet
itively all year, which has been good
for both of them," Galvin said. "The
team is coming together nicely."

the meet was the performance of Amy

the sixth inning, Gerckens crushed a
2-2 fastball from Seahawk starter
Pam Carmassi to the fence. The triple
scored two more runs and gave
Gerckens four RBIs for the game.
Other hot hitters for North Caro

Pam Long and Vicki Parrot. Parrot
drilled two base hits and Long
stroked a run-scoring single. Elmore
has been on a recent tear, and added
another good game to it. She blasted
two hits, including a double. Elmore
also scored three times and stole a
base.

"Seeing Amy come back this year
has made this season worthwhile,"
Galvin said. "Anytime a gymnast

Bincarousky scored a 9.4 on the
bars.
Bincarousky's comeback is almost
reflective of the whole team, Galvin
feels.

any IVe had. They push each other

The Tar Heels also spread out their
hitting very well. Head coach Donna

a team effort on offense. Everybody
in the lineup contributed to the win."
North Carolina won the second
game 5-1. Both Gerckens and Geary
knocked in runs. The sweep upped
the Tar Heels' slate to 12-9, while the
visiting Seahawks slipped to 5-22.
According to senior catcher Spei

effort, we played really well. We got
a lot of ground balls when Finn was

perfectly."

meet meant a lot as far as our chances
of getting into the NCAAs. We need
to have two more meets like this, and
I think we're in."
As the year winds down, the Tar
Heel gymnasts are doing more dif
ficult routines, in preparation for the
NCAA regional tournament.
UNC next travels to College Park,
Md., for the ACC Invitational meet
this weekend. After that they have
the meet to be held in Fetzer against
N.C. State.
"The reason we are moving over
to Fetzer is two-fold," Galvin said.
"One, the meet will take place during
Easter and our set-up crew will not
be here. The other reason is because
the girls really like performing in
Fetzer, since we practice there."
Added Galvin, "When we have a
meet in Carmichael, it is just like an
away meet for us, because we only
go there for meets. We are looking
foward to performing in Fetzer; it
should give us an advantage."
Papa said.
Over the break the team played a
little inconsistently. However, the Tar
Heels looked good Sunday.
"We put a lot of good innings
together today (Sunday)," Papa said.
"We didn't have those lapses where
we make a bad play, and it has a
domino effect. Every inning I thought
they put together a strong defensive
effort."
Looking ahead to today's oppo
nent, Ohio University, Papa added
the following insight: "In the past
weVe had good games with them.
We've come out oh top about 80
percent of the time, but they're a
tough team. I think they will come
out swinging the bats with authority.
For them, it's probably the first time
they've got out in warm weather to
play. We have an advantage in that
we've played 21 games at this point."
The length of time for a search is
just as variable as the price. The,3
shortest search took 15 minutes,',
while the longest search for
Humphrey Bogart's lighter used in
the opening scenes of "The Maltese
Falcon" took more than nine
years.
Tice said, "We will continue the
search for as long as the person
wanting something is patient."
Tice conceived the idea for Find
ers Keepers in 1969, while he was
working in advertising. "I seemed to
have an intuitive ability to find
things, like green grass in the middle
of winter.
"In 1975 Finders Keepers was
incorporated, and in 1986 I decided
to go worldwide since I was no
longer involved in advertising," he
said.
In order to assist Finders Keepers
with its large number of requests,
the Freelance Finders Network
(FFN) was established. The
members of FFN, who live in 22
countries including Canada, Scot
land and Australia, receive a sub
scription to "Finders Seekers" maga
zine. The magazine includes a list of
all searches underway, and if a
member helps complete a search he
receives 50 percent of the finder fees
collected.
Finders Seekers is also distributed
by newsstands in Missouri, Arkan
sas, Oklahoma and Kansas. "We
will be expanding this September to
include additional states and we
hope to become circulated nation
wide by December," Tice said.

Jaseball takes three
in sweep
By DAVE GLENN
Staff Writer
The Tar Heel baseball team
closed out a busy weekend Sunday
afternoon with a 3-2 come-from-behind
victory over Rider College
to complete a three-game sweep
of the Broncs.
The win extended the team's
winning streak to six games and
boosted their season record to 1 1
8. Rider fell to 0-6 with the loss.
UNC's victory was highlighted
by the impressive pitching of
sophomore John Thoden, who
went eight and a third innings to
pick up his second victory of the
year. Thoden gave up nine hits on
the day and notched five strikeouts
to improve his record to 2-1.
Normally utilizing a fastball,
curveball, changeup repertoire,
Thoden was forced to use the
curve sparingly because of slippery
baseballs.
"It was really tough to control
the curve today, so I concentrated
on hitting the spots with my
fastball," Thoden said. "Because I
had good control, I felt today was
my best performance of the year."
UNC head coach Mike Roberts
said that the team's solid defense
and offensive aggressiveness have
been big factors in their recent
success.
"Defensively, we have Con
tinued to be very impressive," he
said. "Also, when you get a few
