At the plate, the team relied heavily on Makenzie Byler, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. That home run was her first of the season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Nolan Catholic). They came out on top against THESA by a score of 14-10 last Tuesday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Vikings needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.

Maddie Kapavik was incredible, scoring two runs while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. The team also got some help courtesy of Brenna Frasier, who went 3-for-4 with one stolen base and two RBI.

Liberty Christian's record is now 6-3-1. As for Nolan Catholic, their record is now 4-8-1.

Liberty Christian might still be hurting after the 12-2 defeat they got from Nolan Catholic when the teams last played back in April of 2022. Can Liberty Christian avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
