LIBERTY–– The Liberty girls softball team is off to a bit of a slow start beginning the season with two straight losses. They will look to regroup on their homefield against Sullivan West today at 4:30 pm. This will be their first home contest of the season after a Monday’s cancellation.

Wednesday, April 2 @ Cornwall

Liberty played their first game Wednesday, traveling down to powerhouse Cornwall on a cold, blustery day. Although Liberty lost 13-2, it was a close contest through most of the first 5 innings, as Cornwall held just a 3 run lead. The team still has a lot to work on, but left the field with heads held high as they received very positive comments from the opposing coaches.

Cameryn Will had a hit and RBI in her first Varsity game. Aubrey Botsford added a single.

Friday, April 4 @ Burke Catholic

Liberty fought hard, but ultimately fell short losing to Burke Catholic 14-9 on Friday. The offense pounded out 8 hits while reaching base 13 times via a walk. Both Giuliana Wagner and Addison Bury earned their first Varsity hits to lead the way. Giuliana had a single, triple, an RBI and a run scored. Addison doubled, scored a run and had an RBI. Aubrey Botsford added 2 hits, 2 RBI, and a run scored. Angie Wheeler scored twice and drove in 2 runs.

In the circle, Angie struck out 13 and allowed just 7 hits over six innings.

Liberty’s record fell to 0-2 on the season with their loss to Burke.
