KX News aired a short segment on Governor Kelly Armstrong serving as guest coach for the Bismarck Larks during a one-night rebrand as the Dakota Ditch Chickens. The opposing Badlands Big Sticks appeared as Bird Dogs in the July 15 game, with jerseys auctioned to benefit the state's outdoor heritage fund. Armstrong, wearing number 34, discussed his love of pheasant hunting and baseball; the team reported raising over $5,000 including $900 for the Bismarck Cancer Center. The Ditch Chickens won 5-4, and the Larks were set to return home for weekend games. The report drew from team spokespeople and included Armstrong's direct comments.
