Carson Garrick was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Liberty is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 9-10 otherwise. Garrick was even better at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two triples, and three runs. What's more, he posted four RBI, the most he's had since back in March.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Eli Bledsoe, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Liberty's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 9-10 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Ethan Carroll, who went 1-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base.
Liberty always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .591. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Brashier Middle College Charter only posted an OBP of .154.
