CRESWELL – Zero. In the 25 years before Kevin Feist took over the Creswell baseball program, the Bulldogs had zero 15-plus win seasons. In Feist’s three years at the helm, the Bulldogs have already had two such seasons, and this year’s team won 15 in a row at one point.

This year’s state championship run came up short, but by reaching the semifinals, the Bulldogs still made it further than any team in program history.

The Bulldogs had four seniors this year, and the strides the program made over that class’s four years was astounding.

“They won five games their freshman year, the year before I came here. We made steady improvements, and then to get to 24 wins this year, be league champions, get to the state semifinals. I mean, that’s a lot to be proud of,” Feist said.
