The 2026 high school baseball season is underway and, as usual, excitement is present throughout Minnesota. Players and coaches have been working in preparation for the season and, as is the case each year, there are some very talented players and teams across the North Star State.

Please keep checking back throughout the season as we will be your one-stop shop for everything related to high school baseball across the state.

Each week we will be releasing our Power Rankings, Scout Blog, Diamond Notes, and Player of The Week, covering all the bases. Today, we look at the scores from our teams in our Power Rankings.

Mondah, May 18th

FOR THE DAY'S FULL SCOREBOARD, PLEASE VISIT STRIB VARSITY.

NOTES:

+ No. 5 Stillwater flipped the game in the bottom of the fifth after trailing 3-2. Ryan VanGunst (2026, RHP/IF, Anoka-Ramsey) launched a three-run home run to give the Ponies the lead, and Griffin Rowan (2027, X, Uncommitted) added breathing room an inning later with a two-run single to make it 8-3. Stillwater moves to 18-5 on the season.

+ Andrew Gette (2026, RHP, Miami) completely overpowered Woodbury, tossing a complete game while striking out 13 and allowing just two unearned runs on five hits. RJ Madison (2027, OF, Uncommitted) got Mounds View on the board with a leadoff home run in the third, while Cooper Caligiuri (2026, C, Uncommitted) doubled home Madison in the fourth. Jack Tretter (2026, 3B, St. Mary's) added another run later in the inning with a hustle double. That was more than enough support for Gette as the Mustangs picked up their 17th win of the year.

+ No. 7 Perham rallied with five runs in the top of the seventh to take a one-run lead, but couldn’t hold on as the Warriors answered with two runs in the bottom half on a string of timely hits and a costly error. Lynn Schumacher (2027, SS, Uncommitted) paced the Yellowjackets offense, going 3-for-3 with a triple and three runs scored. Perham falls to 18-3.

+ Newcomer No. 10 Centennial dropped a tight 2-0 game to Chanhassen despite a highly efficient outing from Tommy Meyer (2026, RHP, St. John’s). Meyer allowed just three baserunners through the first five innings before an unearned run crossed in the sixth. He finished with six innings pitched, allowing five hits and two runs (one earned) while striking out four without issuing a walk. Meyer needed just 63 pitches — 47 for strikes. Logan Mielke (2027, OF, Uncommitted) collected two of Centennial’s four hits. The Cougars are now 18-5.
