The Missouri Valley softball team picked up a 6-3 road win over Atlantic on Wednesday night. Lady Red’s Junior starting pitcher Audrie Kohl kept the Trojans batters off-balanced until the bottom of the fifth inning when freshman Jillian Saathoff got a lead off double. Then senior Riley Wood singled off the left field fence and knocked in a run. Sophomore Lila Wiederstein walked with the bases loaded and knocked in a run, Atlantic had many chances to get on base but Kohl kept the Trojans bats silent all night with only allowing five hits, while striking out nine.

Trojans Coach Terry Hinzman commented on playing a good team like Missouri Valley.

Wood started the game for the Trojans but sophomore Zoey Kirchoff stepped up in relief.
