Today we have this unusual puzzle created for Scojo's prompt, as redeemed by Marty Sears, to create a hitline puzzle :-)
I hope you will enjoy and I would be really grateful for all the comments and ratings.

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Path: Draw an orthogonal path starting in R2C2 (S) and ending in R5C5 (E). The path visits each box exactly once, and never visits a cell twice.

Region Hit Line: Box borders divide the path into segments. A digit N on the path is considered a "hit" if it is the N-th visited cell along the path within its box (e.g., if the digits visited in a box are 97325 (with the 9 being the closest to the "S"), then the digits 3 and 5 would be hits).

Hit Circles: Each circle is on the path and counts the number of hits in its box.

Hit Me Baby One More Time: The number of hits must increase in each subsequent region visited.
