The Atlantic Softball team won 10-0 against the Red Oak Tigers in Atlantic tonight. The Trojans had 10 hits on the night and the Tigers had 7 errors. Lila Wiederstein was first to score for the Trojans with a solo homerun in the bottom of the 1st inning. It appeared to be competitive game when neither team could score in the second inning. The next three innings had the Trojans scoring three runs in each. It started with an RBI triple from Claire Pellett, which was followed by two RBI singles one from Zoey Kirchhoff and the other from Claire Schroder. The Trojans now led 4-0 and did not let go until an RBI bunt from Claire Pellett brought the tenth run home. It would be a run rule victory for Atlantic. The Team came out of the dugout to celebrate and shift their focus to Saturday’s matchup.

Coach Terry Hinzmann was pleased with the effort and execution showed by the Trojans.

Even with a 10-0 victory, Coach Hinzmann had his players out practicing after the game. He knows that the next game will not be an easy one and his players need to stay focused.

Red Oak ends their season with a (3-25) record. The Trojans are now (22-15) and will play Shenandoah at home on Saturday July 8th.
