De La Salle’s Burns, Klein staying nearby for college
When De La Salle senior baseball standouts Collin Burns and Stephen Klein head to college next year, it will be a short trip down St. Charles Avenue.
The two Cavaliers signed baseball scholarships Wednesday in a ceremony at school – Burns with Tulane and Klein with Loyola.
Burns, a left-handed hitting middle infielder, hit .282 last season and was an All-District 10-3A selection. He is the second local product to sign with the Green Wave in the early period, joining John Curtis’ Logan Stevens.
Klein – the only New Orleans-area player selected to the Class 3A all-state team by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association – hit .402 with eight doubles, three triples, two home runs and 32 RBI. On the mound, Klein was 5-2 with a 1.75 ERA, striking out 40 in 44 innings.
The Cavaliers won 25 games a year ago before being eliminated by St. Louis Catholic in the round of 16 of the Division II playoffs.
