Buckman, Sobieski, St. Stephen
Avon Lakers, Buckman Billygoats, Foley Lumberjacks, Fort Ripley Rebels, Nisswa Lightning, Pierz Lakers, Sobieski Skis and St. Stephen Steves. All eight are Class B District 4.
This is the Class B half of a competition split by grade rather than by geography: the Victory C League runs the same country at Class C, and between them they cover Morrison, Benton and Stearns county baseball.
Buckman are the Billygoats. St. Stephen are the Steves, which is the town's name shortened the way a neighbour would say it. Sobieski named itself the Skis, which is both an abbreviation of the town and a joke about Polish surnames.
Pierz appears here as the Lakers, in addition to the Brewers and Bulldogs in the C league, so the town fields three clubs across two competitions.
High Cheese gives a league its own address with the schedule, the table and the rosters on it.
