It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Liberty Charter had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. Everything went their way against the St. Joseph Academy Crusaders as they made off with a 14-5 win. Considering the Lions have won 12 matchups by more than seven runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Jacob Jones and Brody Harris were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Jones tossed 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. Meanwhile, Harris tossed 2.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off one hit. He is becoming a predictor of Liberty Charter's success: when he allows at most one earned run the team is 6-1 (and 7-8 when he doesn't). At bat, Jones went a perfect 2-for-2 with one run and one RBI, while Harris went 2-for-3 with one home run and five RBI. That's the most RBI Harris has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, Isaac Anderson was a standout: he went 1-for-4 with 11 runs. Those 11 runs gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Andruw Godinez, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and one double.
Liberty Charter kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in six consecutive games.
Liberty Charter pushed their record up to 13-9 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for St. Joseph Academy, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last seven contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-18 record this season.
As of now, neither Liberty Charter nor St. Joseph Academy have any future games scheduled.
