Abby Atkinson made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 14 over seven innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in February.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Lilly Lambert, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-4. Gabby Salas was another key player, scoring two runs while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Boyd's victory was their ninth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 18-3-2. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. As for Ponder, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-3.
Looking ahead, Boyd will take on Paradise at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Paradise's pitching crew has only allowed two runs per game this season, so Boyd's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Ponder, a feisty cat fight will be fought as Ponder Lions face off against Callisburg Wildcats at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Callisburg has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 15.5 runs per game on average), something Ponder will no doubt try to take advantage of.
