Conference Record 15-2
The varsity baseball team advanced to the Sweet 16 in the IHSA 2A state series. Along the way, they won a record 27 straight victories. A huge come-from behind victory over Lockport in the sectional semi-finals highlighted their state series run. Austin Lehmann hit a three-run homer to tie the game with two outs in the bottom of the sixth against the Porters, and then Brett Frantini followed with an RBI double. It was also the first year for Minooka competing in the new Southwest Prairie Conference, which included many of the same teams from the previous year's Suburban Prairie South.
