Liberty came tearing into Friday's game with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.3 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They walked away with a 6-1 win over the Blacksburg Wildcats. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 9-6 last Tuesday.
Carson Garrick spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up nine Ks. Liberty is 2-1 when Garrick allows two or fewer earned runs, but 4-6 otherwise.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Cade Collins, who scored a run and stole three bases while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances. He is becoming a predictor of Liberty's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 3-1 (and 3-6 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Austin Cade, who scored a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Liberty's victory bumped their record up to 6-7. As for Blacksburg, they have been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last ten matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-14 record this season.
