The night air in Iowa will be charged as the CAM Chargers meet the AHSTW Hawks in a regular‑season finale that could set the stage for a postseason rematch.
Playoff Implications
AHSTW arrives with a 12‑11 record after a narrow loss to West Monona, and its defense has been a cornerstone of the season, anchored by senior catcher Cash Freeman, who is batting .328 and has driven in 18 runs.
CAM, sitting at 15‑7 after a defeat to Coon Rapids Bayard, counters with a potent lineup that includes junior slugger Carson McKee, who is batting a perfect .500 with 18 RBI, and junior Kason Calhoun, who sits at .420 with 25 RBI. Senior Collin Bower adds power with two home runs and 26 RBI, while fellow junior Zach Kauffman contributes a .403 average and 17 RBI.
The Chargers have also amassed 189 stolen bases, underscoring an aggressive baserunning approach that could test the Hawks' fielding percentage of .938, currently 14th in Class 1A.
The game is slated for 7:30 p.m. and will be carried on 96.5 FM KSOM, giving fans a chance to follow the action live.
Both teams know that a victory not only earns bragging rights but also improves their seeding for the second round of the 1A playoffs, where a potential rematch could await.
