In addition, Conser was a four-year letterwinner on the diamond as a pitcher and shortstop. He notched the first-ever shutout in Laker baseball history, notching a 2-0 win over Aquinas in 1969. He led the team in at bats (79) and runs scored (19), while picking up five saves on the mound and notching a GVSU single-season best 0.47 ERA as a junior in 1971.Â
