This recurring segment will highlight a senior Gustavus athlete each week. Q: What were your expectations for the season? A: This season was a tough one.

It was certainly not a breathtaking record, but a season filled with hard work, chemistry building, and a lifetime’s worth of memorable games. The Men’s baseball team finished off the season with a record of 6-12 in the MIAC and 14-22 overall.
