Open Bible Christian had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. Their rough 18-2 defeat to the First Christian Lions on Monday might stick with them for a while. Open Bible Christian was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as First Christian apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2023.
For First Christian's part, Mackenzie Atkinson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Atkinson was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
In other batting news, Corie Wheeler was incredible, going 3-for-3 with five RBI, three doubles, and two runs. Another player making a difference was Tori Loehr, who scored three runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-4.
The win made it two in a row for First Christian and bumps their season record up to 2-0.
