The ACGC baseball team (10-14) reached double-digit wins and advanced past the first round of substate by winning at IKM-Manning (6-19) on Friday, July 2. The game was knotted up, 1-1, at the end of the first inning, but ACGC scored seven runs between the third and fifth innings for a comfortable victory.

The highlight of the night was a solo homerun by Colton Clark, who went 2/4 with a single to add on to his dinger. RBIs were spread out one apiece between Thomas Skram, William Skram, Blaize Dorsey, Cal Clark and Sayer Bireline-Huss. ACGC stole seven bases in the win. Blaize Dorsey pitched four and two-thirds innings with seven strikeouts to earn the win. Cal Clark pitched the remaining two and one-third innings with four strikeouts.

The next game for the Chargers is round two of the substate 8 bracket at Coon Rapids-Bayard (25-3) tonight, Tuesday, July 7. ACGC lost to CR-B earlier this season, 14-4.
