Seth Nelson, Mahtomedi. It was a big week for Nelson at the plate, batting 5-for-9 with two doubles, a home run and six RBIs. His biggest game came April 29 in Mahtomedi's 7-2 win at White Bear Lake. Nelson pitched six innings of four-hit, shutout baseball with one walk and six strikeouts. The senior helped his cause going 2-for-3 with a home run, double and two RBIs. 

Gavin Pausch, Ottertail Central. The right-handed junior became the first Ottertail Central hurler to toss a no-hitter in more than a decade. He allowed one unearned run with two walks and seven strikeouts in the Bulldogs' 9-1 win April 26 vs. Lake Park-Audobon. Pausch also went 3-for-3 at the plate with a walk, run and four stolen bases.

Rylee Hams, East Grand Forks. Hams did a little bit of everything in the Green Wave's 10-0 win April 27 vs. Thief River Falls/Goodridge. He pitched all five innings to earn the win, allowing two hits, a walk and striking out six. He batted 3-for-4 and was a double shy of the cycle. The sophomore scored two runs and drove in three more.

Peter Douma, St. Paul Highland Park. The Highlanders are rolling and Douma is a big reason. In four wins last week, the junior went 9-for-13 with two home runs, 13 RBIs, six runs and six stolen bases. He also pitched a scoreless inning in a 14-0 win April 24 vs. St. Paul Washington.

Tayven Geiger, Randolph. Geiger put the team on his back in the Rocket's 3-0 win April 28 at Pine Island. On the rubber, the junior pitched a complete game one-hitter with no walks and nine strikeouts. At the dish, he went 2-for-4 with a solo home run.
