After a 25-8 regular season and their 18th straight Highland conference title, Beal City baseball wants more.
The Aggies have won five consecutive games to reach Friday’s state semi-final game against Southwestern Athletic Conference power Kalamazoo Hackett Catholic Prep. This includes defeating Mt. Pleasant Sacred Heart 12-1 for a District 109 title, a 10-0 win over Maple City Glen Lake for a Region 27 championship and avenging an early season loss to Fowler with a 11-2 victory in the state quarterfinal game last Saturday.
“My guys are excited for the opportunity to get back to East Lansing and hope we can achieve the ultimate goal and play for a state championship,” Head coach Brad Antcliff said. “(It) just goes to show hard work and dedication to each other is paying off.”
With redemption on their mind from last year’s heartbreaking state championship loss to Riverview Gabriel Richard, the Aggies have had hot bats averaging 10.6 runs
