Overview
- Keller defeated Lake Travis 2-1 at Dell Diamond to capture the 2026 UIL Class 6A Division I state baseball championship on Saturday.
- Keller senior Cole Koeninger was named game MVP after pitching about 6 2/3 innings, allowing two hits, one earned run, recording eight strikeouts and finishing his high school career while battling a hand injury.
- Lake Travis starter Cooper Webb also allowed two hits and went deep into the game as the Cavaliers made their first-ever UIL title game appearance but fell short of a comeback.
- The game’s runs came on small plays: an unearned first-inning run produced by an error, a passed ball and a sacrifice fly, and a sixth-inning insurance run followed by a seventh-inning rally that produced a run on a wild pitch.
- The win gives Keller its first state baseball championship and sends long-time coach Rob Stramp into retirement after 28 seasons while preserving Keller’s streak of deep postseason runs dating back more than two decades.
