Liberty and WestSide are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2019, but likely not for long. The Raiders are taking a road trip to take on the Renegades at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Liberty's pitching crew has only allowed 3.4 runs per game this season, so WestSide's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

Meanwhile, WestSide had to endure a three-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They blew past Greater Beckley Christian 16-9 on Saturday. The Renegades might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matches by six runs or more this season.
Isaiah Clay was a major factor no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over 3.2 innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits (and only one walk). Clay was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with three stolen bases and two runs. That's the most runs he has posted since back in May of 2024.

Liberty was able to grind out a solid win over WestSide in their previous matchup on Wednesday, winning 4-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Raiders since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
