Coach Don "Bucky" Burgau took his 1990 team on a successful season-opening trip to the Christian College Baseball Tournament in Lake Wales, Fla., where the Cobs went 5-3 and placed third in the eight-team event. The Cobs returned home and promptly got off to a 2-5 start in MIAC play.
Then they turned things around behind the clutch hitting of senior Mike Klindt, Breckenridge, Minn., and the pitching of sophomore Jeff Morken, from Pine Island, Minn.
Concordia won nine of their next 10 games and had a chance to tie St. Mary's for the title with a sweep over Augsburg in the season finale. But a split against the Auggies ended the year with Concordia one game back, 13-7 in the MIAC, 21-14 overall.
Klindt, who hit .453 in 20 MIAC games, led the Cobs in RBI (40), doubles (13), home runs (5) and season average (.394). He was named to the all-MIAC team. This is the same Mike Klindt who led the Cobber football team in rushing last fall with 812 yards, for which he was also named first team all-MIAC.
Morken, who had a 7-3 season and 3.99 ERA, earned academic all-MIAC honors. Scott Bjerke, a senior first baseman from Moorhead, was a force for the Cobbers all season, batting .379 and driving in 18 runs.
