CLEAR LAKE — 3rd-ranked Clear Lake hosts rival Algona tonight in a Class 3A District 2 contest. The Lions are 5-0 after edging Webster City 10-2 last week in the opening of district play, while the Bulldogs opened district play with a blowout win at Charles City. Lions coach Aaron Stensland says they’ll have to try to stop several players this week, including junior quarterback Alex Manske.
In four of the five wins, Clear Lake’s defense has not allowed a touchdown, and Stensland says that defense will have to step up again tonight.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Rookie Ryan Noda hit a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning and the Oakland Athletics held on for a 2-1 win against the AL Central champion Minnesota Twins. Noda’s 16th homer helped Oakland hold on after Minnesota had tied the game in the sixth. It was just the third win in the past 14 games for the Athletics, who avoided being swept and temporarily eluded their 111th loss, which would be the most in the majors since Detroit lost 114 games in 2019. Lucas Erceg (4-4) won in relief of Luis Medina. The Twins head to Colorado to wrap up the regular season this weekend.
