The Freedom Patriots will head out on the road to square off against the Tampa Bay Tech Titans at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Freedom is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.5 runs per game this season.
Freedom came up short against King on Tuesday, falling 19-9. The Patriots have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Aubrey Reed was cooking despite her team's loss, going 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. Dayana Rivas Moya also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
Even though they lost, Freedom always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .568. The last time their OBP was this high was back in April of 2024.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Tampa Bay Tech). Everything went their way against Armwood on Tuesday as Tampa Bay Tech made off with a 29-14 victory. The Titans haven't had any issues with the Hawks recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive win against them.

T has been hot recently, having also posted three or more hits the last three times she's played. Taliyah H was another key player, getting on base in five of her six plate appearances with six RBI, three runs, and two doubles.
Freedom's loss dropped their record down to 1-5. As for Tampa Bay Tech, their record is now 4-1.
Thursday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Freedom hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .322. However, it's not like Tampa Bay Tech struggles in that department as they've averaged .493. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Freedom suffered a grim 18-1 defeat to Tampa Bay Tech in their previous matchup back in April of 2023. Can Freedom avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
