(Atlantic) Atlantic and Creston matchup in a Hawkeye Ten Conference doubleheader at Atlantic this evening. The Trojans are 5-3 and 1-1 in Conference play and enter the contest, winning two out of three games at the Trojans Varsity tourney on Saturday. The Panthers are 3-0 in the Conference and 3-3 overall.
The Trojans had three games rained out last week, and Head Coach Terry Hinzmann says this young group needs game experience. The three games over the weekend helped the coaching staff solidify a lineup and batting order.
Coach Hinzmann says the Panthers have been traditionally excellent and well-coached under former headman Mike McCabe. He says this new coaching regime is doing an excellent job of carrying on the program’s success.
The Trojans enter the contest batting .368 as a team led by Claire Pellett (.625) and Zoey Kirchhoff (.500). The Panther’s leading hitter is Nevaeh Randall hitting (.474), and Dallee Keeler (438). Creston is hitting .353 as a team.
The first game starts at 5:30. We will have the broadcast on 95.7 f.M. Pre-game at 5:20.
