Solon Stampede

Every season, our 12U team gets the amazing opportunity to go to Dreams Park in Cooperstown, NY for an unforgettable week long tournament! They stay on site, play teams from all over the country, and make memories for life!

This year's team had a great come from behind win, down 11-3 in the third inning, to win 14-13 in extra innings, sparked by a grandslam in the fourth inning!

Thankful for the parents and families that work hard to make this trip possible for the boys and we are proud to say that Stampede has a "golden invitation" to go every year with our 12U teams!

The 9U Stampede team went undefeated in league play in the 2023 season by going 18-0 in the regular season and winning three games in the playoffs to win the 2023 Buckeye League in back to back years! They won the championship game against Aurora 4-2 and look forward to playing next year at 10U!

Congratulations to the 10U Stampede team in a great season and runner up in the 2023 Buckeye League Playoffs. They came up short in the championship game to Willoughby, but on their route to the championship game, they had to go through BOTH #1 seeds in each division, Geauga Knights and Aurora Greenmen. What a great season boys! Looking forward to next year at 11U!

The Solon Stampede finished runner up in the 8U Chagrin Valley Classic and was a great way to end the season! They beat some great teams in the tournament and should be proud of the way they played this entire year! This new team improved so much from the beginning of the year to the end and is looking forward to a great 9U season next year!

Congratulations to Stampede 9u on runner-up in the Aurora Baseball League Tournament! It was a very competitive group of teams, the boys played hard and should be extremely proud of themselves!

Stampede 10U made it to the championship game on Sunday after a walk off win on Saturday to go 2-0 in pool play. They beat Revere 14-4 in the semi finals and lost to Willoughby in the championship 3-6 in a well pitched, hard fought game. Great weekend boys!

Congratulations to the Stampede 11U to take Runner Up in the NEOBL Championship series. It was a three game series against Diamond Dogs and the teams forced a final third game. It was a rivalry throughout the entire season and will be a rivalry for the years to come! Congratulations 11U on a great season!

Stampede 8U won the Buckeye League Championship game 2-1 versus Mentor on a walk off hit in the last inning! It was a great season, great competition, and an amazing way to end the team's first season as Stampede! Good luck to next season!

Stampede 8U finished runner up in a close game to Highland Heights to cap off a great charity tournament for children with cancer. Great tournament by both teams!

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!
