On Tuesday, the Atkins Red Devils narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the South Side Hornet 7-5.
Atkins is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. South Side's defeat ended a six-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 2-3.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Atkins will host Hector at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Hector will roll in looking for their seventh straight victory, something Atkins surely won't give up without a fight. South Side will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Heber Springs at 5:00 p.m. on March 31st.
