Minnesota Blizzard Baseball

In a heart-pounding quarterfinal clash that could’ve been written for the big screen, the White Bear Lake Bears delivered a walk-off thriller against Stillwater, punching their ticket to Friday's section semifinal—and guess who was all over the action? Yep, Blizzard Nation showed UP and showed OUT.

Let’s set the scene. Bottom of the 7th. Tied 2-2. Runner on first. And that runner? None other than Blizzard’s own Tyler Allshouse (2025, Bethel commit). Stepping into the batter’s box? Another Blizzard baller, Owen Farrington (2025, UW-Superior commit), with ice in his veins and glory on his mind.

Crack!

Farrington lines a rocket down the left field line. Allshouse, full send, motors from first and never stops until he slides across home with the winning run. Game. Over. Bears walk it off in storybook fashion—and it was Blizzard-built.

But don’t forget how it started. Blizzard 2027 arm Jackson Kolb set the tone on the mound, starting the game for the Bears and delivering a gritty, composed seven-inning performance. He gave up just five hits and two runs (only one earned), while striking out three and walking two. He kept the Bears in it long enough for Farrington and Allshouse to play hero.

White Bear’s win wasn’t just exciting—it was defining. And with seven Blizzard players lacing up for the squad, this one hits different for the Blizzard family. It’s more than a win—it’s a testament to how this program shapes difference-makers.

Up next: Semifinal showdown this Friday versus a talented Cretin Derham-Hall team. You better believe Blizzard Blue will be watching.
