1981 Concordia Baseball

Baseball team has most wins ever

An all-time Concordia record for most wins in a season was posted by the 1981 Cobber baseball te&m. Establishing a 19-21-1 mark, they reversed last year's earmark of "good hitting, no pitching" with the best overall pitching staff in the league, finishing 11-7 in the MIAC for fourth place.

Two Cobbers were named to the all-conference squad pitcher Howard Berglund, a freshman from Carrington, N.D., and shortstop Mark Redemske, a junior from Staples, Minn. Pitcher Dan Schroeder, a junior from Perham, Minn., was voted most valuable player by his teammates.

Three juniors were selected this spring to co-captain the 1982 team - Don Olson from Buffalo, Minn.; Bob Schepper from Dent, Minn.; and Bryon Novotny from Alexandria, Minn. Don Burgan, Cobber baseball coach, expects a strong team for 1982 with some excellent incoming freshmen and the return of the entire pitching staff.
