Garden City Shuts Down LHS Softball

The Liberal softball team lost 12-0 in five innings to Garden City Tuesday evening at the National Beef Sports Complex.  On a blustery evening, Garden City brought out the bats and Liberal struggled defensively.

The Buffaloes scored five in the first, two in the second, three in the third, and two in the fifth.  Garden out-hit LHS 12-3 and Liberal committed six errors.  Liberal falls to 5-2 overall and 1-2 in the WAC and Garden City is 4-2 overall and 2-0 in the WAC.  The same two teams meet Thursday at Garden City.

Coach Tom McClure’s Comments:

“We can’t make errors and get behind early to a good pitcher. We have to
continue to clean stuff up and get sharper. Positives are that post games
were not a lot of head hanging. The girls know they can fix it. Frustrated,
yes. But that is expected. I think they were more hungry to get back at it.’
