NOTES:

 + No. 1 Farmington did what it has done to just about everyone this spring and imposed its will early. This time, it came against No. 5 Rosemount. The Tigers hung a five-spot in the second inning, beginning with an RBI double from Ben Keppler (2026, IF, Uncommitted) before Jack Budde (2026, SS, Uncommitted), Matthew Hennen (2027, C, Illinois State), and Benjamin Fenske (2026, OF, UW-LaCrosse) all followed with run-scoring hits. Ty Beck (2027, OF, Uncommitted) capped the offensive barrage with a two-run home run in the fourth. For Rosemount, Oliver Anderson (2027, IF, Uncommitted) finished a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate. Farmington moves to 19-1, while Rosemount falls to 14-5.

+ Neither offense could crack through for the first five-and-a-half innings before Lakeville North erupted for six runs against No. 2 Shakopee. Ethan Krosch (2028, IF, Uncommitted) led the Sabers offensively, going 2-for-3 with a double, RBI, and run scored. Shakopee falls to 14-3.

+ No. 3 Chaska found itself trailing Chanhassen 6-4 in the second inning but clawed back to take a 7-6 lead in the fourth and never gave it back. Owen Strey (2026, SS, Creighton) tied the game with an RBI single before Ethan Williams (2026, C, Southwest Minnesota State) delivered the go-ahead knock to score Matthew Welter. Blake Vriesen (2027, RHP, Uncommitted) slammed the door with three scoreless innings out of the bullpen. Max Epple (2027, OF, Uncommitted) finished 2-for-3 with a double, RBI, and run scored as the Hawks improved to 14-3.

+ No. 4 Mahtomedi, fresh off its statement win over Delano at Baseball Day Minnesota, was shut out 7-0 by St. Thomas Academy. The Zephyrs managed just four hits on the afternoon and fall to 12-4.

+ The surging No. 6 Stillwater continued its climb with a walk-off win over White Bear Lake. Jack Runk (2027, SS, Minnesota) delivered the game-winning base hit and finished 2-for-3 with the deciding RBI. Sullivan Conlin (2026, RHP, Creighton) worked four innings, allowing one run on three hits while striking out seven. The Ponies are now 15-4.

+ No. 7 Woodbury was down to its final out trailing Park 3-2 before Kai Larsen (2026, SS, UW-LaCrosse) punched a hard ground ball through to score Nic Lunemann and tie the game. The Royals then exploded for five more runs to seize control for good. Emmett Snuggerud  provided a huge lift out of the bullpen, tossing 3.1 scoreless innings to help secure Woodbury’s 14th win of the season.

+ No. 9 Mounds View walked off Forest Lake on an RBI double from RJ Madison (2027, OF, Uncommitted). With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Madison ripped a double to left field to score Sam Cornelius and give the Mustangs their 15th win of the year. Jack Glancey (2026, OF, UW-LaCrosse) also went deep with a solo home run. Mounds View improves to 15-4.

+ No. 10 Champlin Park rolled past Minneapolis Southwest and continued its scorching month of May. Donovan Vendel (2026, RHP, Sioux Falls) was dominant over four hitless innings, walking none and striking out seven. Luke Carlson (2027, SS, Uncommitted) powered the offense with two home runs in a 3-for-4 day that included four RBI and three runs scored. The Rebels are now 7-0 in May and 13-4 overall.
