Solon Stampede

The 9U Solon Stampede finished a great weekend with a runner up finish in the 2022 Comet Classic over the weekend.  The boys were perfect in pool play and won a hard fought, close game over Lyndhurst in the Semifinals 6-4.  The boys fell just short in the championship game to IVL, but came away from the weekend with a lot to be proud of!  Best of luck in the home stretch of the season!

The Stampede 10U team came back from a tough opening game loss to Stow to beat Geauga Knights 10U 18-8 and finish 1-1 in Pool Play. They then defeated higher seeded Revere 10U 15-14 in an extra-innings Texas Shootout to open bracket play, and avenged their league play loss to Hudson Explorers 10U with a 12-4 victory to make the Championship Game. Coming up just short to Perry 10U 19-11, the boys played great all weekend and should be proud of making the finals in a tough field of teams!

The Stampede 10U players dominated the Skills Competition portion of the weekend, winning all 3 events at the 10U level. 

Home Run Derby- Nathan Klotzman managed to hit 2 HR over the fence in his 8 swings to win the competition over a field of 11 other competitors. 

Base Running Relay- Reed Cohn and Tobin Graves scorched the competition on the way to victory.

Turn Two Relay- Ethan Hull, Hudson Wargo, and Grant Sesny defeated a very competitive field to win the Turn Two Relay.

The Stampede 12U team battled all weekend long and emerged as the Champions of the 2022 Aurora Community Baseball Tournament!  In bracket play the 12U Stampede defeated Lake Express 28' 12U 7-4 in the semifinals and beat the Kent Islanders 12U 5-3 in the title game.  With only 9 players available for the tournament, each player played a critical role in winning this championship!  Congratulations to all of the players, coaches and families on bringing home the Title!  Way to go Stampede and best of luck the remainder of the season!

The Stampede 9U team battled through bracket play defeating Geauga 10-9 in the quarterfinals and beat the Eagles of Holly Hills 7-5 in the semifinals.  Ultimately, the Stampede 9U lost a heartbreaker 5-4 to Nordonia in the championship game.  Every player on the team contributed to an outstanding run in the 2022 Aurora Community Baseball Tournament!  Congratulations on a great run and best of luck the remainder of the season!

The Solon Stampede 9U team made Mother’s Day extra special taking home the title at the 2022 Sandlot Showdown in Akron!  Excellent pitching combined with solid defense and hot bats propelled the Stampede to a perfect record in the tournament collecting the program’s first title of the 2022 season.  Congratulations to all of the players, coaches and Stampede families on a great tournament!

Each year, Stampede Baseball partners with The Littlest Heroes to support their Adopt-a-Family For the Holidays Program. These families have been touched by childhood cancer, and have a son or daughter that has been or is currently going through treatment. As we all know, the financial hardships of having a child with cancer are already difficult enough, and with the COVID-19 Pandemic still on us, it makes it especially challenging for these families.

Thanks to the generosity of our Stampede Families, we raised nearly $2,500!!!  Stampede purchased the gift cards, and assembled holiday packages to deliver to our adopted families this week. We hope we can help make our adopted family's holiday a little more special this year!

Thank you again & wishing you all a healthy and happy Holiday Season!
