The Atlantic Trojans Softball team finally got their chance at a game in the State Softball Tournament on Wednesday afternoon but came up short to Davenport Assumption by a score of 11-3.  The Trojans were originally scheduled to play on Tuesday but all games were moved back a day due to heavy rain in Ft. Dodge.  Davenport Assumption jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first inning and tacked on another run in the second.  They then rattled off 4 runs in the fourth, 1 in the fifth, and 2 in the sixth to push their lead to 11-0 before Atlantic scored 3 in the bottom of the sixth to keep the game alive.  No runs put up by either team in the 7th brought the game to a close at 11-3.  Davenport Assumtion scored their 11 runs on 15 hits and committed 1 error.  Atlantic scored 3 runs on 3 hits with 7 errors.

Atlantic will now play in the consolation bracket at noon on Thursday against CMB on Dodger Field at the Harlan Rogers Sports Complex in Ft. Dodge. They will then play in the 5th or 7th place game at 4:00pm on Thursday as well.
