In the spring of 2024, Northern went 18-31 overall and 13-26 in the Northern Sun. Two Wolves were named to the NSIC All-Conference teams and five school records were broken. The Wolves improved in every offensive category from 2023 except HRs, and broke school records for stolen bases and base on balls.  Northern had their winningest season since 2019 and improved their win total by 7 from the previous season. 

The Wolves tallied an 11-31 record overall and 6-25 mark in the NSIC in the spring of 2023, Klostermann’s first season as lead assistant coach. Northern found success at the plate improving in 12 offensive categories from the previous spring. The Wolves racked up the most single season home runs since 2016, runs per game since 2018, and doubles since 2019, and the highest individual home run total since 2017.

In two seasons as the graduate assistant, Northern State posted a 15-26 record overall and 10-18 mark in the Northern Sun in 2022 and 15-22 overall/14-19 in the NSIC in the spring of 2021, respectively.
