Atkins had lost six straight on the road, but on Wednesday they dropped their record down to 5-11 to make it seven. They wound up with the same score they had in their last game (16-1), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time. Having soared to a lofty 16 runs in the game before, they couldn't push the score so high this time.
Atkins saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jaidyn Mayhue, who went 1-for-2 with one run.
As for Leadership Academy, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games.
On Leadership Academy's side, Ashlyn Koerber was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she tossed four innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits. Koerber has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.
In other batting news, Annabelle Daniels was a standout: she went 2-for-3 with two triples, four RBI, and two runs. Those two runs gave her a new career-high. Ella Gane also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
Looking ahead, Atkins will welcome High Point Central at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bison have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.83 runs per game on average), something the Camels will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Leadership Academy, they will host Carver at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Falcons are facing the Yellowjackets at the right time seeing as the Yellowjackets are stuck on a six-game losing streak.
