At the World Series in Greeneville, TN, the Cyclones went 1-2 and finished 5th. Coach Fischer won his 8^th conference championship in his 10 years at the helm. Prior to shutting down due to COVID, the Cyclones were off to a 12-3 start. 

The 2019 Cyclones lost in the region championship in extra innings. That year saw the Cyclones win a school record 26 straight games as well as their 7^th conference championship. The 2018 season saw the Cyclones overcome a terrible Minnesota spring by winning their third Region XIII tournament championship in program history.

The 2017 season, the Cyclones finished 3rd in the Region Tournament. They also claimed the MCAC Central Division Title. In 2016, The Cyclones were coming off of a year in which they lost in the region championship, one game away from another college World Series berth. In Coach Fischer’s previous five seasons he had led the Cyclones to five conference championships, five state championships, three region championships and three berths into the college world series. Over his tenure, as the leader of the Cyclones, his teams have an impressive 295-85 record. 

Fischer’s teams have routinely been ranked in the top 10 nationally. They have been ranked as high as 2^nd and have been ranked nationally every year since 2011. Because of this success Coach Fischer has moved over 70 players on to four-year schools, most with scholarships.  The Cyclones have their fingerprints all over some of the best leagues in the country, especially the NSIC. Many of his players have moved on to that league and have had wonderful success.        

In Jason’s first year at the helm, the Cyclones broke many school records, including lowest team ERA (2.66), highest team batting average (.343), highest winning percentage (.826) and team victories (43). He led them to the MCAC southern division championship, as well as the first region championship and college world series in school history.  The Cyclones headed to the College World series ranked 2^nd in the country. They went 1-2 in the NJCAA College World Series and finished 5th in the country. Coach Fischer was named MCAC Southern Division and Regional Coach of the year. Coach Fischer led the Cyclones to their second college world series in the spring of 2014. That year they finished 4^th and Coach Fischer was once again named Region and District coach of the year. 

Coach Fischer takes great pride in developing his players both as athletes and as men. His players routinely have a G.P.A. above a 3.0 and are involved in community activities like reading to elementary students and running baseball camps. Coach Fischer wants each of his players to walk away after their time in college as better players, students and people.      

Jason joined the Cyclones in the summer of 2007 as the assistant coach at St. Cloud Technical and Community College. He was responsible for the infield and helping in recruiting. SCTCC won their first ever conference championship during Fischer’s first year. After a down second year, the Cyclones bounced back the next year where they improved their win total by 12 games to 19 the first year and by 16 games to 35 the second year, including a national ranking as high as 3rd. The Cyclones lost in the region championship game that year falling one game short of going to the college world series.
