(Atlantic) The Atlantic softball schedule has changed due to weather conditions. Initially, Atlantic was set to host Estherville-Lincoln Central at 3:30 p.m., but the Midgets will not be traveling from northern Iowa. Instead, Atlantic will face Carlisle in a Junior Varsity-Varsity matchup this afternoon, with the J.V. game beginning at 4:30 p.m. and the varsity contest scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
Currently, Atlantic boasts an undefeated record of 8-0 and is ranked #12 in Class 3A, while Carlisle, with an 8-1 record, holds the #2 spot in Class 4A. Atlantic Head Coach Terry Hinzmann acknowledges that Carlisle is a formidable opponent.
