Brainerd defeated visiting Rocori 10-3 on Monday, giving baseball coach Lowell Scearcy his 700th career victory.
Scearcy, who is in his 45th season, is the second high school baseball coach in state history to win 700 games. Former New Ulm coach Jim Senske retired in 2003 after 39 seasons with 707 victories.
St. Cloud Cathedral coach Bob Karn, who has 699 victories in 44 seasons, could also have reached the milestone Monday, but the Crusaders and Foley were rained out. Cathedral next plays Tuesday against Mora.
