The ACGC baseball team (10-15) lost in the 1A Substate 8 playoffs at Coon Rapids-Bayard (25-3) on Tuesday, July 7. ACGC matched CR-B in hits with three. Where the Chargers lost the game was with walks, giving free bases to the Crusaders 11 times. 

ACGC’s three hits came from Thomas Skam and Colton Clark with one single each and an RBI double from Chase Slaybaugh. Cal Clark pitched four and one-third innings, striking out six batters. Blaize Dorsey pitched one and two-third innings, striking out one.

While the playoff loss surely stings, this season showed continuous improvement for the program, winning 10 games in back-to-back seasons after winning just two games in 2024.
