Meanwhile, Issaquah faced Eastmont in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Saturday. The Eagles blew past the Wildcats 11-3. Considering the Eagles have won five games by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Shae Erickson (2027) spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on four hits and racked up 13 Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Abby Cleveland (2026), who went 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. Sadie Huryn (2025) was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.
Liberty's victory bumped their record up to 7-4. As for Issaquah, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 9-1.
Liberty's speedy runners might be the difference in Monday's contest. The Patriots have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.9 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Issaquah, though, as they've been averaging only 1.1 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Liberty continue to outrun the ball?
Liberty might still be hurting after the 9-3 loss they got from Issaquah when the teams last played back in March. Will the Patriots have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
