Liberty and Summers County are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2015, but likely not for long. The Raiders will be playing at home against the Bobcats at 6:00 p.m. on Monday.
Shady Spring hit Liberty with a six-run seventh inning on Wednesday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Raiders lost 9-1 to the Tigers. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Raiders have suffered since April 25, 2024.
Meanwhile, Summers County made easy work of WestSide on Saturday and carried off a 16-3 win. That 13 run margin sets a new team best for the Bobcats this season.
Ryan Oliveros made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off only two hits. Oliveros was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases and three runs. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, Colten Jones was incredible, going a perfect 5-for-5 with four runs, three RBI, and two doubles. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Robey Brown, who went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run.

As for Liberty, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-7.
