San Francisco 117 Greenwich Street 415.901.1700 welcome to 2018 We’re thrilled to have you back at Palooza Park at Arnold Field.

It’s our fifth year in Sonoma, and we’ve been proud to bring independent professional to our beautiful city. In the last half decade, we’ve made baseball history, been the subject of a New York Times bestseller and made three championship appearances.

We can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thank you so much for your support of Stompers baseball. office and fan shop 117 W.

2015: Sean Conroy pitches a shutout in his first professional start on June 25. On that day, Conroy became the first openly gay player in the history of .

2016: The Stompers sign Kelsie Whitmore and Stacy Piagno, becoming the first professional men’s baseball team to roster multiple women since the 1950’s.

2016: On July 22, the Stompers signed a third female player, Anna Kimbrell. That night, Kimbrell started at catcher with Whitmore on the mound, forming the first female battery in professional baseball since the All American Girls Professional Baseball League.

2017: Piagno pitched seven strong innings and allowed just one earned run on four hits in the Stompers 16-1 victory over the Pittsburg Diamonds on July 15. Piagno picked up the win, becoming just the third woman to do so in a men’s professional baseball league since the 1950’s.

DID YOU KNOW: The Stompers are subject of the New York Times best-selling book “The Only Rule is it Has to Work” by Sam Miller and Ben Lindbergh. MEET THE SKIPPER Sonoma State alumnus and Bay Area native Zack Pace brings 11 seasons of independent baseball experience to his new role as Stompers manager.

“I love the grind,” Pace said. “You have to go out there every day and give it your best shot and try to get better that day.”

After playing in independent leagues all over the Midwest, including one that played all 96 games on the road, Pace returned to Northern in 2012 and became one of the first players signed to the .

“Zack and I share the same vision for the Stompers,” said Stompers General Manager Brett Creamer. “I know Zack will recruit a competitive team that is eager to compete day-in and day-out for a championship.”

Pace is no stranger to championships. He won three Pacific Association Championships with the Pacifics, hitting .321 in 74 games en route to their 2014 title. After retiring in 2016, Pace began coaching at his alma mater under legendary head coach John Goelz. His love of the game is what drives Pace, and informs his coaching philosophies.

“You’re constantly learning. And when you have to teach the game, I think you have to learn a little bit more,” Pace said. “I love coaching. I just love seeing the improvement and I love seeing guys get it.”

He cherishes the relationships he’s built over the course of his career, and says being part of a team means “attacking the everyday struggles in life–facing other teams, in a sense–with your family.”

Pace succeeds two-time Manager of the Year Takashi Miyoshi, who left the Stompers to coach in the Minnesota Twins organization. w GAME DAY SCORECARD
