Paynesville Pirates

Class C baseball in Paynesville, Minnesota

The Paynesville Pirates are an amateur baseball club from Paynesville, Minnesota, playing Class C in the County Line League under the Minnesota Baseball Association. They went 9-12 in 2026 under manager Ron Fuchs at the Paynesville Baseball Stadium.

The association calls it a stadium rather than a field or a park, which for a Stearns County town of about two thousand five hundred is a claim the club is entitled to make and nobody is going to check.

Nine classification points. The County Line League also holds Atwater at four points and thirteen wins, Norway Lake-Sunburg at six, and New London-Spicer at fourteen, which is a division of hyphens and villages spread across the Kandiyohi and Stearns county line.

Paynesville is also the postal address for the Lake Henry Lakers, whose ballpark is at 1 Ballpark Street just up the road.

This is the third Pirates in the Minnesota set.

The association calls it a stadium, which a town of two thousand five hundred is entitled to do and nobody will check. High Cheese gives Paynesville the page to keep calling it that.
