Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Liberty Ranch). They never let the Edison Vikings get on the board and left with a 14-0 victory on Friday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Hawks with their most commanding win of the season.
Mariella Granata and Carlie Perez did most of the damage at the plate: Granata scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances, while Perez went a perfect 4-for-4 with five RBI, one run, and one double. Those five RBI gave Perez a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Khali Barrantes, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-3.
Liberty Ranch always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .735. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
