Atholton hasn't had much luck against Reservoir recently, but that could start to change on Monday. Atholton will head out on the road to challenge Reservoir at 4:00 p.m. Atholton is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 14.6 runs per game this season.

Atholton let Reagan Law and Elli Cathirell run wild. Law went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, four runs, and four RBI, while Cathirell went a perfect 5-for-5 with four runs, two triples, and four RBI. Law is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games she's played. Another player making a difference was Tatiana Maltez-Rosales, who scored three runs while going 4-for-4.

They weren't the only ones working in the hit department: Atholton kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 23 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits every time they've taken the field this season.

Meanwhile, Reservoir fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against Mt. Hebron on Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Vikings by a score of 11-10. The 'Gators' defeat signaled the end of their three-game winning streak.

The win got Atholton back to even at 2-2-1. As for Reservoir, their loss was their first in the region, dropping their region record down to 3-1 and their overall record down to 3-2.

Atholton might still be hurting after the 17-2 defeat they got from Reservoir in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Can Atholton avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
