NOTES

+ No. 3 Farmington still hasn’t needed a full seven. The Tigers run-ruled their second straight opponent, handling Eagan 12-2 in six. The offense just keeps rolling. Grady Renwick (2026, IF, Southwest Minnesota State) set the tone, going 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles, three RBI, and two runs scored. Benjamin Fenske (2026, OF, UW-La Crosse) did not make an out, finishing 4-for-4 with three runs, while Matthew Hennen (2027, C, Illinois State) added pressure with a 2-for-3 day, three runs scored, and three stolen bases.

+ Andover picked up a solid 5-3 win over Rogers, riding a big day from Carter Daluge (2028, OF, Uncommitted). He went 2-for-4, driving in two on a double and adding another RBI knock. Blake Baumann (2026, LHP, Century) slammed the door out of the bullpen, spinning three scoreless innings with seven strikeouts.

+ Champlin Park continued to stack wins, blanking Elk River 3-0. Evan Nordby (2026, RHP, Minnesota State-Mankato) navigated traffic over 5.2 innings but never broke, keeping the Elks off the board. Rhys George (2026, OF, Uncommitted) provided enough offense, picking up an RBI single in the third.

+ Mahtomedi made quick work of North St. Paul, 11-0 in five. Jake Reubish (2026, 2B, Uncommitted) filled up the box score, going 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored, and a stolen base. Cody Loida (2026, IF, Sioux Falls) was on base all day, reaching in all three trips, scoring three times, driving in two, and swiping a pair.
