Malvern Prep Baseball Captures PAISAA State Championship

The Malvern Community gathered this morning to celebrate the Malvern Prep Baseball team capturing the PAISAA State Championship title on May 27th. The team defeated Perkiomen School, 6-4 in a hard-fought battle for the State Title. This was the 10th consecutive appearance in the State Final under Coach Freddy Hilliard. The final game was the perfect ending to an incredible season for the Friars. The team finished 28-6 and were named the Inter-Ac Champions.

Speaking on behalf of the coaching staff, Varsity Coach Freddy Hilliard offered, “This team faced adversity but they never stopped loving each other and never stopped supporting each other. They came together as a group until the very end. That is a testament to Malvern Prep.”

Graduating seniors, Charlie Oschell and Jack Stead spoke on behalf of the players. “What makes this place [Malvern Prep] so special is the love that we have for each other. I’m here today with a group of guys that I will consider brothers and family forever at the most special school on planet earth,” shared Oschell. Stead offered similar sentiments adding that “the team is just really special … we rallied around each other.”

The win was a team effort by the Friars under the leadership of Charlie Oschell '23 who was dominant on the mound, going 6 innings and only giving up one earned run. Jack Stead ’23 went 2 for 3 with a double and 3 RBI. Brady Abate ’26 added an RBI and a run scored. Trey Tiffan ’23 got the save for the Friars.
