Nyquist and Bjerken Imortalized as Hall of Famers

The highlight of the 2005 fall season for the Saint Scholastica Saints baseball team was undoubtedly the annual Alumni Weekend during which Brett Nyquist, from Duluth Central High School, and Nick Bjerken, from North St. Paul High School, were inducted into the Saint Scholastica Saints Baseball Hall of Fame.


Brett Nyquist graduated from Saint Scholastica in 2002 and is the Saints all-time leader in ERA (2.06) and is third in both career strikeouts and wins. Nyquist was drafted in the 13th round of the 2002 Major League Baseball draft by the Montreal Expos. Brett has been invited to attend the Washington Nationals minor league spring training next spring.


Nick Bjerken is a 2003 graduate of Saint Scholastica and is currently in the top ten in eleven different pitching and hitting categories including wins (2nd), innings pitched (4th), hits (8th), and RBIs (8th). Bjerken was an All-American in 2003.
