NOTES
+ No. 2 Minnetonka was the lone Top 10 team in action and split a pair, taking down Rogers before falling to Chanhassen.
In the opener, Jonah Ludens (2026, LHP, Kirkwood) was in control from the start, tossing a one-hit shutout over seven innings with 10 strikeouts. Garrett Wheeler (2026, SS, New Mexico State) paced the offense, going 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, and two runs scored. Carter Storts (2026, OF, Augustana) provided early separation with a two-run home run in the third.
Minnetonka could not carry that momentum into game two. The Skippers trailed Chanhassen and made a late push, but came up short. Cruz Winegarden (2027, C, Uncommitted) went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored. Minnetonka now sits at 3-3 on the season.
