POLAND When she walked the first to batters of the game, it appeared Poland pitcher Atlantis Martin was in for a rough start Wednesday.
Then she picked up the first of her 12 strikeouts, got out of the first-inning jam and helped the Knights knock out the Raiders 13-3 in a non-conference softball game at Poland Regional High School.
“I’m kind of used to it because I don’t want to say I always have a bad inning in the beginning, but I usually have that rough start, and then I pull myself out of it,” Martin, a junior, said. “So it does feel good, though, to be able to pull myself out of it, and it definitely helps the team, too.”

In one way, Kaylin O’Leary’s Poland Regional High School softball career will end the same it started.
This season, the senior will again be playing with her sister.
The only difference is that this time she is not the younger sister on the team. She’ll instead be the older sister showing her sibling the way to play the varsity game.
