Zimmerman Outscores Foley 13-11 in Thrilling Playoff Opener!

In a game that had fans on the edge of their seats, Zimmerman pulled off a spectacular 13-11 victory over Foley to kick off the league playoffs. The bats were on fire, with Ethan, Jack, and Everett each racking up multiple hits. Kolton smashed a triple and an RBI, Ethan hammered two doubles and drove in three runs, while Barrett doubled and added two RBIs to the tally.

Our pitching staff was a rotating door of talent, starting with Markus and followed by Everett, Jack, Thomas, Brantley, and finally, Barrett closing it out. Six pitchers, one goal – and they got the job done!

The defense was sharp, the energy was high, and the smiles were everywhere. We're gearing up for more action this Friday at 4 PM in Buffalo, where we'll face off against Spring Lake Park in the Gopher State Tournament. Don't miss it! Go Thunder!

The Zimmerman Thunder struck hard last night, clinching their 20th win of the season with a decisive 13-3 victory over Buffalo.

Leading the charge was Brantley, whose bat was absolutely sizzling. He went 3-for-3, hitting a double, a triple, and a single. If only he'd had a chance to go for the homer and hit for the cycle—given his current form, it seemed like a sure thing! His triple was a spectacular one-bouncer off the centerfield fence.

On the mound, Markus and Everett were a dynamic duo, each pitching two strong innings. Kolton also made waves with a triple that mirrored Brantley's—a one-bouncer off the fence. Earlier in the at-bat, he hooked a foul ball over the right field fence and even managed to land one just in front of a neighboring house, right under the living room window!

The Thunder showcased a solid defensive game, particularly impressive against Buffalo, one of the top teams in the league. The boys ran the bases like seasoned pros. Twice, we had a runner on third, and after our batter
walked, we executed a clever play: sending him to second after the fourth ball. This caught Buffalo's catcher and middle infielders off guard, allowing our runner from third to trot home for the run.

It was a fantastic night to wrap up the regular
season. We finished second out of nine teams and scored the most runs in the league. Now, we have a week off before starting the state tournament. Have a happy and safe 4th of July week. Go Thunder!

Zimmerman Thunder Bamboozles St. Cloud with a 15-0 Win in Just 4 Innings!

Last night, the Zimmerman Thunder put on a spectacular performance, defeating St. Cloud 15-0 in just four innings of play. Declan, pitching for the first time this season, earned the game ball with a shutout inning, facing just
three batters. St. Cloud struggled against Declan's pitches, resulting in weak at-bats and no runs.

The Thunder's pitching lineup was on fire, with four pitchers each taking an inning. Austin started the game, followed by Ethan, then Tommy, and Declan wrapping it up. The pitchers collectively allowed only one hit and struck out one batter across four innings, showcasing phenomenal pitching supported by
solid defense.

The Thunder's bats were equally impressive, with nine hits over 20 at-bats. Drake led the team with three RBIs, and Everett went a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate. In the top of the fourth, some of our players switched things up. Ethan started the inning batting left-handed and hit a fine line drive base hit to center field and then stretched it for two. Everett also batted left-handed and got a single with a hit to third base. Kolton came up right-handed and, despite a great natural swing, just missed.

Next up is our final regular season game this Friday night against Buffalo, where the boys are aiming for their 20th win of the season. Go Thunder!

Sauk Rapids-Rice Defeats Zimmerman
Thunder 10-6

Last night, our Zimmerman Thunder faced a tough match against Sauk Rapids-Rice, ending in a 10-6 loss. The game started as a tight contest, with both teams holding each other scoreless through three innings. Sauk Rapids-Rice broke the deadlock with four runs in the fourth inning. We responded with three
runs of our own in the bottom half, but they extended their lead with five more runs in the fifth, creating a gap too wide for us to close.

Sauk Rapids-Rice is a formidable team, marking their 20th win of the season. They execute plays that are uncommon at the AA level. One strategy they used effectively was exploiting our back pick moves from the catcher position. By taking substantial leads and advancing when anticipating our throws, they managed to outmaneuver us twice, a tactic rarely seen at our level.

Throughout the season, our players have become adept at handling routine plays.
However, Sauk Rapids-Rice's had some sharply hit balls that put our skills to the test. With limited game reps on such challenging plays, our techniques were exposed. However, these challenging games are invaluable for our growth both as a team and individually.

Next up, we face the St. Cloud Blue Sox. Let's continue to strive for progress and resilience.

"We must become the change we want to see."

Thank you for your support! Go Thunder!

Thrilling Victory for Zimmerman at the Tournament Opener!

Zimmerman's big rallies in the top of the 4th and again in the 6th propelled them past C**n Rapids, kicking off the Zimmerman Tournament with an impressive 17-8 victory.

Markus was on fire, delivering a stellar three-inning performance with seven strikeouts that earned him the Thunderbolt award. His dominance on the mound set the tone for Zimmerman's success.

Jack was a force to be reckoned with, going 3 for 3 and driving in 4 RBIs. Ethan was flawless at the plate, going 4 for 4 and adding 2 more RBIs to the tally. Brantley smashed a massive drive well over the leftfielder's head for a standup triple, driving in Barrett with an exhilarating play.

The excitement continues as Zimmerman takes on Foley at 4 PM today! Let's rally behind our team and cheer them on to another victory. Go Thunder!

Sauk-Rapids Rice defeated Zimmerman last night 9-3, securing their 17th victory of the year. It was a close game until they scored 3 runs in the 4th inning and 5 more in the 5th. This was the first time our bats went cold this season. We had our opportunities and are looking to regroup and come back strong for our game against Sartell this evening. Go Thunder!

We are thrilled to announce that Zimmerman secured second place in the Willmar Summer Classic! In bracket play, the boys finished off the tournament with an impressive win against Bemidji, showing their determination and skill.
Although they faced a tough match and fell to Sauk Rapids-Rice in the second game, their efforts were truly commendable. This tournament had playoff spots for the top two teams and the boy's performance has earned them a well-deserved spot in the state playoffs!

Zimmerman baseball is not just about learning the fundamentals and enjoying competitive fun; it's also about instilling the values of good sportsmanship and high character. We are thrilled to see these attributes on display, along
with strong team camaraderie.

A heartfelt thank you to all the players, parents, and coaches. Your dedication and efforts create memories that will last a lifetime. Well done, Zimmerman!

Zimmerman had a fantastic day on the field yesterday, clinching victories in both of their games. The first game saw a commanding 20-10 win over Cottage Grove, followed by a strong 14-4 triumph against Redwood.

A special shoutout to Kolton, who earned the Thunderbolt award for his outstanding performance. Kolton smashed a bomb over the left fielder's head, resulting in a triple and driving in two crucial runs in the bottom of the 4th inning—sealing the deal for the team.

Yesterday it was asked for the team to keep the sticks hot, and the boys certainly delivered, with hits coming from all across the lineup. It's true what they say—hits are contagious!

Today, the excitement continues with bracket play, and our first game is against Bemidji. Let's keep those sticks hot and go Thunder!

Zimmerman kicked off the Willmar Tourney last night with an impressive 12-1 victory over Willmar.

A special shoutout goes to Cody, who received the Thunderbolt award! Despite not playing, Cody made the trip to Willmar to support the team. His stats this season are remarkable: a .533 batting average, five game starts as a pitcher, 11 1/3 innings pitched, 19 strikeouts, and only one walk. Way to go, Cody!

The team's bats were on fire last night. Austin, Brantley, Declan, and Everett each had hits in every single at bat. The game saw some massive hits, with Austin hitting an inside-the-park home run and Everett smashing two triples. Declan and Ethan also added to the excitement with triples of their own. Wow!

Our pitchers were equally impressive. Starting with Everett, followed by Thomas, then Jack, and closing with Brantley, they collectively went 6 innings, allowing only 3 hits and 1 run while striking out 12 batters. Incredible performance!

Next up, Cottage Grove at Noon today, followed by Redwood at 4 pm. Let’s go Thunder! One play at a time!
