The regular season is over, and the second season — section play — is under way.

The best now become targets, and nobody is wearing a bigger bull’s-eye than Wayzata.

The Trojans rolled through the regular season 20-0 and finish in the No. 1 spot in the Metro Top 10 baseball rankings. They are the top seed in Class 4A, Section 6.

South Suburban Conference champion Farmington (18-2) remains No. 2 and is the top seed in Section 1. League rivals Shakopee (14-6) and Prior Lake (15-5) each climbed, Shakopee to No. 4 and Prior Lake to No. 5. They are the top two seeds in Section 2.

Stillwater (15-5) heads the Suburban East contingent, moving up to No. 3 position and seeded first in Section 4. Conference foes East Ridge (No. 6, 14-6), Mounds View (No. 8, 13-7) and Cretin-Derham Hall (No. 10, 13-7) are also in the Top 10.

Class 3A powers Mahtomedi (16-4) and Benilde-St. Margaret’s (16-2) round out the Top 10, each a spot higher than last week.
