Atoms Weekly Recap
Baseball faced a challenging week, coming up short in three contests. Unfortunately, for the Atoms the name of the game was timely hits that they couldn't put together to get runs across the plate. The Atoms dropped a heartbreaker to district rival Justice, 4-2 Tuesday evening, in a tightly contested game. Thursday night was Autism Awareness Night that saw them fall to Fairfax Trinity, 18-3, before closing the week with another competitive effort against Falls Church but were unable to pull out the win, falling 5-1. The Atoms travel to Hayfield Tuesday.
Softball put together an explosive week at the plate, going 2-1 in a series of high-scoring matchups.

Next up is a trip to Hayfield Tuesday evening.
