Mounds View Baseball Takes the Crown as No. 1 in Minnesota

Baseball fans in Mounds View have a lot to cheer about as the local high school baseball team has officially claimed the top spot in the Minnesota Star Tribune Top 25 rankings! That’s right, the Mounds View baseball squad is now ranked No. 1 after an impressive run that has left their opponents in awe. With a solid season record of 11-3, it’s clear that this team is not just playing around.

Three Wins and a Serious Sweep

The excitement doesn’t stop there. Last week was nothing short of spectacular. Mounds View swept all three of its games, culminating in a thrilling encounter against rival team Cretin-Derham Hall. In a nail-biting game that had everyone on the edge of their seats, Mounds View triumphed with a score of 4-3. This victory not only secured the series win but also solidifies their claim to the top spot.

Speaking of Cretin-Derham Hall, that team is no slouch either. Despite now being ranked No. 2 with a record of 12-3, they found themselves on the wrong side of back-to-back one-run losses. One of those heart-wrenching defeats came against the defending state champions, East Ridge, where they lost a slim 2-1 score. It’s tough in the top tiers of competition!

The Race for Top Ranks Continues

If you think the excitement is just between Mounds View and Cretin-Derham, think again! The Suburban East Conference is showcasing some serious talent with multiple teams making the top rankings. White Bear Lake also deserves a shout-out; they hold the No. 8 spot with a commendable record of 11-3 and have been on a roll, winning six of their last seven games. They are making their presence felt!

Stillwater joins the ranks as well, clocking in at No. 15 with a solid 10-5 record. This conference is heating up, and it’s anybody’s game at this point!

Top Teams from the Lake Conference

Not to be outdone, the Lake Conference also boasts impressive teams in the top five. St. Michael-Albertville holds the No. 3 position with an 11-2 record, while Minnetonka follows closely at No. 5 with a record of 11-4. Meanwhile, Blaine, ranked at No. 4 with an impressive 13-2 record, faced a tough challenge in a recent matchup against Wayzata, leading to a 6-5 loss and dropping them in the rankings.

A Special Honor for Blaine

As the season unfolds, Blaine will also be celebrating a special milestone. They are set to honor volunteer assistant coach Bill Zenner, who has served as the team’s statistician for an amazing 40 years! His hard work and dedication over the decades have surely contributed to the program’s success.

The team will pay tribute just before facing off against No. 9 Andover, who has a stellar record of 13-2. Talk about a moment to remember!

A Competitive Landscape

As we look across the rankings, it’s clear that the Suburban East Conference is a hotbed of competition this season. With teams battling it out for supremacy, the excitement surrounding Minnesota high school baseball has never been more palpable.
