The Aspen High School baseball team is gearing up to host regional playoff games for the first time in recent memory, entering the 3A state tournament as the fourth seed.
A Historic Playoff Run
The Skiers finished the Western Slope League with a 10‑2 record, securing the league title and finishing the regular season at 19‑3 overall, riding a six‑game winning streak into the postseason.
Senior pitcher William Marolt sits second in the classification with a 0.97 ERA, while outfielder Dylan Mika is ninth statewide with 33 stolen bases, underscoring the team’s blend of pitching dominance and speed.
Matchup with Strasburg
Their opponent, the Strasburg squad, entered the matchup with a 9‑13 overall record and a winless 0‑10 mark in the Patriot League, having been swept by Aspen earlier in the season.
First pitch is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, a kickoff that promises a showdown that could propel the winners into the later rounds of the state tournament.
Community members and alumni have turned out in force, eager to see the Skiers extend their historic run and bring a state title within reach.
