The Atlantic baseball team will travel to Red Oak tonight for their second game of the season and we’ll have it on KJAN. The Trojans opened up the season with a 7-2 win over Logan-Magnolia on Wednesday night.

The Trojans are coming off a 12-20 campaign in 2017 and lost just one senior off that roster. Chase Mullenix, Chase McLaren, Kolton Mudd, Jayden Trotter, Cooper McDermott, Mason Goergen, and Noah Bruckner all return as options on the mound for Coach Gaylord Schelling. McLaren, Mullenix, and Bruckner are the top returning bats for the Trojans.

Red Oak comes in with an 0-1 record after an opening loss to Shenandoah 9-3 on Tuesday. The Tigers had a 7-21 record in 2017 and also lost one senior in top hitter Carlos Guerra. Asher Hinshaw is the top returning pitcher for the Tigers finishing with a 1.76 ERA last year in 14 appearances.

We’ll have coverage of the game tonight with pregame at approximately 7:15pm and first pitch at 7:30pm. You can listen on AM1220, FM101.1, online at kjan.com, or on the KJAN mobile app.
