The week of July 5-11 saw postseason play go into full swing for high school baseball teams from the Ames area.
Roland-Story, the No. 2 team in Class 2A, pounded Greene County (8-0) and Ogden (20-4) to claim the 2A District 4 championship and advance onto the substate finals. Gilbert crushed Webster City (10-0) and Ballard demolished Perry (11-1) in 3A substate quarterfinal competition.
Ames ended its season with a 6-4 loss to Mason City in the 4A Substate 2 quarterfinals on July 10 at Mason City. Nevada fell to Waverly-Shell Rock, 5-2, in the 3A Substate 2 quarterfinals.
In 1A District 4 competition, both Collins-Maxwell and Colo-NESCO came up short on July 6. Collins-Maxwell suffered a 5-2 loss to Madrid at Alleman and Colo-NESCO was dealt a 10-0 loss by AGWSR at Fort Dodge.
There were several outstanding individual performances from area baseball players during district and substate competition.
