It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Liberty Ranch had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 8-7 win over the Escalon Cougars. The victory was familiar territory for the Hawks, who have now won three matchups in a row.

Moe was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April.
Moe wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Kade Lecompte, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI and one run. Nolan House was another, going 2-for-4 with two doubles, one run, and one RBI.
Liberty Ranch's win bumped their record up to 19-7-1. As for Escalon, they moved to 15-10 with that defeat, which also ended their five-game winning streak.
Looking ahead, Liberty Ranch will challenge Lincoln at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Hawks 3, the Fighting Zebras 2.9) so any runs scored will be well earned. Escalon does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
