On Saturday Sydney Atkins kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. The performance marked the most strikeouts Atkins has had since back in September. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her fourth in a row with more than six strikeouts dating back to last season. For the season, she has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of 3 over 124 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.517/0.556/0.897 with 47 RBI and 8 home runs.
Atkins' strong effort led Douglas County West over Auburn and she'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. Atkins has dominated as far as strikeouts are concerned (she's averaged 5.9 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering Auburn has only allowed 3.77 per game this season.
