Seniors Lead Baseball Back to Another Top-3 finish in MIAC

Six Cobber seniors capped one of the most successful periods in Cobber baseball history this spring with 5 consecutive wins to finish tied for 3rd in the MIAC. These seniors compiled a 55-25 MIAC record, recorded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes in the MIAC, posted 4 consecutive winning MIAC seasons, and helped the Cobbers earn two trips to the NCAA Regional.

Noah Johnson ('98, Buffalo) was named All-MIAC , All-Region and Academic All-MIAC in 1997. He led the team in hitting at .417 and ranked in the top 20 in the nation in steals with 24. Scott DeBrito ('97, Fergus Falls) was named All-MIAC and All-Region. He was second in the MIAC in hitting, averaging .500 in 20 MIAC games.

Randy Razidlo ( '97 Waconia) was All-MIAC and All-West Region in 1996. He was a 4 year starter with a .330 career average. Jeremy Holm ('97, Fargo) was All-MIAC in both Î95 and Î96. Coach Bucky Burgau regards Holm as best second baseman he has ever coached.

Joe Cuchna, All-MIAC in 1996, was another 4 year starter. His three consecutive shutouts late in 1996 helped lock up another NCAA Tournament bid. Jason Myhre, a four year player and two year starter, played a key role as a Cobber closer this year.
