After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Petoskey, Athens was happy to have turned things around on Saturday. They were the clear victors by a 9-2 margin over Varsity Opponent. The Red Hawks' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
Angie Leonard made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over six innings pitched. Leonard was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4. Those runs marked the first that she scored this season.
In other batting news, Leah Dahlerup was incredible, going 2-for-3 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. Those runs were her first of the season. Addison Cosgrove was another key player, scoring a run while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Athens' first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-4.
Athens didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next game, a 6-5 win against Adams on the 12th. Varsity Opponent has also already played their next matchup (against Greenwich Country Day), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
