Dave Clarke impressed in the 15-1 ACL win over ACL. Clarke, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2026 draft, was 4 for 5 with a home run, 3 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3. ACL has now won 3 in a row.

ACL used the hitting of Shawn Pierre McIlwain to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rangers on top, 15-1. For the game, McIlwain had 1 home run and 2 singles in 6 at-bats.

"The effort wasn't good enough," said losing manager Kevin Randel.
