WORLD SERIES CHAMPS (2009)
Third time was the charm for the Rangers in 2009. After falling twice in the championship series before (2000, 2003), the Rangers were able to knock off the South Dayton Slammers in a best-of-three series for the franchise's first league title. An 18-5 regular season record also gave the team its 3rd regular season title. Offseason pickups of Robert Riley and Brandon Howard were instrumental in providing a boost to the offense. Midseason acquisitions of pitchers Jonathan Silverman and Matt Wenzler helped keep the pitching staff fresh, giving Brad Clark and veteran returnee Shawn Schmitt the opportunity to pitch well. Along with Schmitt, Steve Marshall and Jake Kingsolver returned after a brief hiatus to provide veteran leadership at the plate and on defense. Plenty of contributions across the board, stockpiled with a number of career years from some of the guys, allowed the pieces to finally fit into a championship season.

ON THE VERGE (2008)
Another missed opportunity in the playoffs saw the Rangers end their season in the semifinals of the postseason tournament to the Royals. The Rangers finished 19-13 with a fourth place finish in the regular season. The 19 wins were the most since 2003. The preseason started off with an exhibition against the Springfield Indians at Fifth Third Field. Got some great snapshots of Joe and Clint in the "Dot Race". Crammed into the season was the inaugural Rangers Alumni game held at AIA, bringing back former players for an evening of baseball and CityBBQ. Jacob Robinson posted a 12-2 record on his way to being named the league's Cy Young Award winner. Jacob's 10 wins during the regular season broke an MVABL single season record. James Robinson, Jacob Robinson, Clint Wolf, Jelani Arnold, Brad Clark,and Jonmarc Lippincott were named to the All-Star game. Jonmarc, Clint, and Jacob were named to the All-MVABL first team. Brad was named to the second team. Clint finished runner-up in MVP voting. Jonmarc surpassed 300 runs scored and 300 RBIs during the season.

RISE FROM THE ASHES (2007)
Another sensational season from center fielder Clint Wolf earned him back-to-back league MVP honors. Draftees Shane Fallen and Reis Pearson were huge contributing factors to a much improved defense. Jake Robinson picked up the All-Star Game Defensive Player award for his diving prowess at shortstop. Jake's 0.43 ERA in July (1 ER in 21 IP) was a Rangers record for any given month. Rangers finished the regular season with a 12-8 record and a first round bye in the playoffs. Brad Clark's bases-loaded heroics in the first playoff game placed the team in the winners bracket final, before bowing out to the Royals and Astros, and a third place finish.

WOLF SNAGS MVP HONORS (2006)
Center fielder Clint Wolf was selected as the league's Most Valuable Player as he led the league in triples and RBIs. Clint was in the top 6 in the league in 8-of-9 offensive categories. Newcomer Brad Clark was a significant boost to the Rangers' starting rotation, compiling a 4-4 record with a team high four complete games. The Rangers were 1-2 during the Memorial Day Tournament, but finished strong with a combined no-hit shutout by Jeremy Lippincott and Ryan Benkert. A 12-13 regular season record was followed up by back-to-back losses in the playoffs.

REBUILDING NOT COMPLETE (2005)
The Rangers could not compensate for the lost of offense provided by Ethan Goetz and Jake Kingsolver. Ethan transferred to New Mexico and Jake retired into the world of softball and fatherhood. The Rangers finished the lowest in the standings in over 5 years despite losing a number of games by 3 runs or fewer. Jake Robinson improved on his rookie campaign by putting together a winning season on the mound. Joe Staten, Clint Wolf, and Robinson were all named to the 2005 MVABL All-Star team.

REBUILDING (2004)
The Rangers' dominance dwindled in 2004 as the team lost its top 2 hitters. For the first time in franchise history, the Rangers ventured outside of the area to take on some new teams, including the Columbus Sharks, Cincinnati Suds, and Dayton Braves. The Rangers looked solid in the Memorial Day tournament, posting a 2-1 record, but fell short of making the playoffs due to the run differential rule. Key offseason pickups in Brian Robinson and Ethan Goetz helped tremendously with the offense.

BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPS (2003)
The Rangers continued their dominant play in 2003, only losing 3 times during the regular season while accumulating 18 wins. The Rangers looked solid in the postseason tournament as well, but fell in the Championship game to the Ohio Woodpeckers. The Rangers continued their season with a trip to Indianapolis for the 2004 MABL Labor Day tournament. With an undermanned staff and depleted lineup, the Rangers played exceptionally well winning both games on Saturday and tying the Hilliard Indians in the 3rd game before rain cancelled the remainder of the tournament. Scott Pollak and Shawn Schmitt pitched lights-out ball for the Rangers and the defense was superb.

REGULAR SEASON CHAMPS (2002)
With a few key additions to the roster, the Rangers put together their best season to date finishing atop the league with an 18-4 regular season record. However, the Rangers lost in the semifinals of the postseason tournament to the eventual champions, the Black Sox. The 2002 season also marked the first time that the Rangers competed in a non-league tournament. The Rangers competed in the MABL Labor Day tournament in Columbus, Ohio and finished 2-2 to claim third place.

The AVERAGE SEASON PART II (2001)
The Rangers must not have recovered from the loss in the 2000 Championship game as the Rangers finished right around .500 again with a 12-13 record. Rob Hoover continued to pitch well going 8-2 on the season and rookie pitcher Joe Staten pitched extremely well (1.13 ERA) despite getting no run support in the games he pitched.

The COMEBACK SEASON (2000)
The Rangers finished a great season only to have an unimpressive record to show for it at 11-16. But with the help of Shawn Schmitt's 4 postseason homeruns (he had 0 career homeruns going in the playoffs), the Rangers fought their way through the playoff's losers bracket to face the Reds in the Championship. The Rangers had to beat the Reds twice to obtain the title, and looked good as they won the first game and forced a deciding game. But, through the light snow and frigid temperatures, the Rangers fell just short of the Championship crown.

The AVERAGE SEASON (1999)
The Rangers finished 12-12 on the season including a 1-1 record against a pair of Columbus MABL teams.

The ASTERISK SEASON (1998)
The 1998 season saw the Rangers playing most of their games at Arthur Fisher Park. The Rangers finished 9 games over .500 with a 22-13 record. Offensive stats flourished with the 300-ft fences as the team combined to hit 43 homeruns that year, including one game when the top four hitters in the lineup hit back-to-back-to-back-to-back homeruns en route to a 16 run inning - a Rangers record.

The EXPANSION SEASON (1997)
The Dayton Rangers Baseball Club was created as an expansion team in the MABL (Men's Adult Baseball League) in the summer of 1997 by current player/manager Jonmarc Lippincott. The team originally consisted of 15 players and has had over 75 different players play for the Rangers over its 12 years of existence. Players have come from all over southwestern Ohio: Xenia, Centerville, Beavercreek, Farmersville, West Carrollton, Jamestown, Kettering, Dayton, Camden, Franklin, Huber Heights, Springfield, Fairborn, and Miamisburg. The Rangers finished their inaugural season with a respectable 10-14 record. Rob Hoover anchored the pitching staff as he pitched an astounding 103 innings while striking out a Rangers record 114 batters along the way.
