In game one, Zack White pitched a no hitter. Cole Evans was 2-3 with four RBI’s at the dish with a double and Jared Hasik was 2-3 with four RBI’s and a double. Liberal only had six hits but walks and two errors hindered the Eagles chances.
In game two, Liberal used a 10 run second all with two outs to blow a 2-1 game open. Liberal had 16 runs on 15 hits. Tim Fitzgerald was 3-3 with a triple, a double and three RBI’s. Cole Evans was 3-3 with an inside the park home run and two RBI’s. Cristian Erives was 1-2 with a triple and three RBI’s. Kaiden Long and Junior Garcia added two hits a piece.
