Perham High School, a Class 2A program, has compiled eight of its twelve wins via the run rule, highlighted by a 14‑12 triumph over Anoka, and junior Gavin Griffin has been prolific, batting .605 with a .654 on‑base percentage and .816 slugging percentage.
St. Cloud Cathedral entered the rankings unbeaten at 13‑0, led by sophomore Jake Murphy, who boasts a 0.78 ERA and a 35‑to‑6 strikeout‑to‑walk ratio over 27 innings, underscoring his dominance on the mound.
