With a playoff win on the line, Atlee rose to the challenge on Thursday. They blew past the Courtland Cougars 10-3. The win was nothing new for the Raiders as they're now sitting on five straight.
Sierra Kegley made a big impact no matter where she played. She struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off 11 hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-5 with one run and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Shannon McKeever, who went 1-for-2 with one home run and three RBI. Another player making a difference was Casey Hughes, who went 2-for-4 with three stolen bases and two RBI.
Atlee was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .467. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .344 or higher in five consecutive contests.
Atlee pushed their record up to 13-5 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Courtland, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last ten games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-13 record this season.
