W-G Tops Charger Boys, 13-3, in Six Innings; Home Games on Tues, Thurs
Despite a ten hit performance by the ACGC baseball team on Friday, the Chargers fell to Woodward-Granger 13-3 in six innings in a game played at Woodward. The Chargers battled evenly for three innings, with the score knotted at 3-3 when the Hawks scored four in the fourth to take a 7-3 lead and added a six spot in the sixth inning for the final 13-3 score.
Caden Wardyn led ACGC in hitting, as he went a perfect three for three at the plate, including a double. Owen Hanson had two singles and an RBI. Quenton Spack had the other Charger double and an RBI, while Ben Kingery drove in the third RBI.
Logan Brinks, Spack, and freshman Lucas Marsh shared the pitching duties, with Brinks taking the loss. He went three plus innings and surrendered seven of the Hawk runs on five hits. Spack went two innings and gave up five runs, while Marsh pitched the final inning when W-G ended the game on the ten run rule. Twelve of the thirteen W-G runs were earned, indicating that the Charger defense committed few errors.
The loss drops the team's record to 0-3 on the season and 0-2 in West Central Conference play.
The Chargers next action is Tuesday when they will host Woodward Academy with a junior varsity game starting at 5 PM, followed by the varsity at 6:30. On Thursday the team will host Madrid in a WCAC varsity only doubleheader beginning at 5 PM.
