The Freedom Patriots will venture away from home to face off against the West Caldwell Warriors at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Freedom is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.2 runs per game this season.
Freedom is headed into the matchup having just posted their closest victory since April 19, 2024 on Friday. They had just enough and edged out Patton 12-10. 12 seems to be a good number for the Patriots as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Abigayle Gibson was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Keileigh Clontz, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.
Gibson wasn't the only one working in the home run department: Freedom lost a few balls and finished the game with five home runs. Freedom is a perfect 3-0 when they post two or more home runs.
Meanwhile, West Caldwell put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. Their pitchers stepped up to hand Bunker Hill a 3-0 shutout. The three-run effort marked the Warriors' lowest-scoring game of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
West Caldwell's victory was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-0. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Freedom, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 3-3 record this season.
Freedom came out on top in a nail-biter against West Caldwell when the teams last played back in March of 2024, sneaking past 5-4. The rematch might be a little tougher for Freedom since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
