As for Liberty, the loss snapped their winning streak at four games and leaves them with a 11-14 record. While getting shut out isn't ideal, they haven't been shut out since back in February.

On the hitting side, Liberty saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Carson Groh, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one double.
