The Atlantic softball team is finding its groove as they reach the midway point of the season. The Trojans sit at 16-8 and riding a six-game winning streak. Head Coach Terry Hinzmann says his group is playing better, but this isn’t their apex.

Atlantic is fueled by two dominant pitchers in Sophomore Peyton McLaren and Junior Zoey Kirkhhoff as they are both firing an under 3.00 ERA. Hinzmann has had the luxury of being able to split several games between the two of them in the circle.

On the hitting side, the Trojans are hitting .325 as a team and three everyday starters hitting over .400. Junior Lila Wiederstein leads the team in many offensive categories as she puts up one of the better seasons across Iowa so far.

Wiederstein has been in the DP spot lately due to a lingering lower body issue from track season but hasn’t stopped her from giving it her all.

The Trojans are in Fort Dodge this weekend playing stiff competition and after that return home Monday in a doubleheader against St. Albert.
