2011 would finally be the Rockets year, as they blew through the regular season securing a second consecutive pennant, and sweeping through the Cloverleafs to bring home the first Senior AAA Championship.  Sheldon Moore was named the Rookie of the Year, while Mitch Olson was named playoff MVP.

As a result of the 2011 championship the Reston Rockets, from a community of 700 people would take on the nation, representing Manitoba at the 2012 Canadian Championships in Prince George, BC.  The Rockets defeated Victoria, BC and Strathroy, ON on the way to a tie for first in the pool, before falling in the quarterfinals, and finishing 5th.  Buddy Mayert hit .400 to win the league batting title, while Ross Tycoles would be inducted into the Baseball Manitoba Honor Society in November.

2013 was a season of great highs and lows for the Rockets.  The community would be affected by a flood as the team struggled through the first half of the season.  With Tycoles Field under water the Rockets would play games in Deloraine, and battled through the remainder of the year to finish 8-12 and finish in 4th place in the regular season.  Andy Moore would win the batting title and Mitch Olson would be the league MVP.  All that was left to happen was for the Rockets to go on a magical run.  Following a 2 game sweep of Oak River the Rockets got down 2-1 to the pennant winning Brandon Marlins, before winning game 4 in Reston and game 5 in Brandon 1-0 to win the series and advance to the league finals for the fourth time in their history.  In the first all rural final in the league in over 20 years, the Rockets fell behind 3-1 following four really tight ball games, before running off three straight wins to win their second title in three years.  Cole Stober would be named the playoff MVP.
