•24-3 record (Postseason included)
•Ended season on a 20 game win streak (Includes postseason wins)
•Section 4AAAA Champions
•SEC Conference Champions
•Minnesota Class 4A State Champions
This tournament win did not make these boys champions…they were champions before any game was played.
These young men formed a brotherhood that was larger than W’s & L’s, personal accolades or popularity. They’ve been on a journey and won a championship along the way
That’s it! The Ponies beat Cretin-Derham Hall 3-1 behind Drew Gilbert’s 17 (!!!) strikeouts. The Ponies finish the regular season 17-3 on a 13 game win streak. The Ponies are SEC conference champions, and will be the No.1 overall seed in the Section tournament.
Stillwater 5 CDH 0 - final. A dominant pitching performance from Gavin Zurn. Great team win and a hat tip to a Cretin team that ran a gauntlet in the playoffs and played great baseball again today. On to state!⚫️🔴

The boys just ran into Pete Alonso in the hotel lobby! For those keeping track at home, he is the NY Mets first baseman and 2 time home run derby champion! According to the boys, “The Dude can rake!”! 🤩
This afternoon the boys are hopping on the bus for a team road trip to Omaha! Wishing them a great weekend of hard work, team bonding and memories made along the way!
Tyson Fredkove - (1/2)
@TFredkove12
improvement through the years is nothing short of inspirational. He is a great leader and made a fantastic captain. Tyson's determination, persistence and commitment will take him far. We think this would have been a huge year for Tyson...
Matt Moore - (1/3)
@mattm00re_
is easily one of the best athletes at Stillwater High School. Matt was an integral part of the 2018 State Baseball Championship team providing key innings as a starter and as a hitter. He had an even bigger role as a junior on the 2019 Third Place

The Stillwater coaches want to give a shoutout to all the seniors who didn’t get a chance to get on the field for their last season. Once a day we will have a special tribute right here on twitter for each one.... stay tuned for our first student athlete!!
Jon Koehn - (1/3)
@jon_koehn_1
was a starter on both a state championship team and a 3rd place team. He is a great hitter and would have set many Stillwater records this year. Jon is a dedicated worker, competitor, quality performer, and a great young man. If he sustains ...

Good morning & happy section 4AAAA championship Wednesday! Stillwater vs Cretin-Derham Hall with a trip to the state tournament on the line. 1st pitch is 5pm at University of Northwestern - St Paul. Bring sunscreen, H2O, Pony pride & $10 for admission - Let’s go Ponies🔴⚫️⚾️!
Fun fact...when asking Pony players their favorite baseball memory for Twitter profiles, many boys listed "playing catch with their dad." Thank you dads for the impact you have on your children! Wishing all dads a Happy Father's Day! 💕⚾️
The Ponies will play next Thursday in the first round of the State Tournament. Location, time and opponent are TBD. For now, it is probably worth repeating...
THE PONIES ARE GOING TO THE STATE TOURNAMENT!
Congratulations and good luck to a couple of Stillwater baseball legends as they play in the NCAA Super Regionals this weekend.

2022 was an incredible year for the Stillwater Ponies baseball team. Initially predicted as a “down year”, this talented group of young men persevered and brought home the state 4A Championship!

@luke__cullen
is one of the most athletic players that we as a coaching staff have ever seen. His preparation and mental approach were setting him up for a big season as a player and leader. To go along with his 40" vertical, Luke has a great smile and..
