In a very competitive, back and forth game, Liberty ultimately was unable to withstand a final O’Neill rally, losing 10 to 6. The Redhawks’ bats were hot all day and were led by Angie Wheeler’s 2-3 performance. Angie had a double, single, RBI and two runs scored. Maddy Stewart had a single and two runs driven in. Megan Schmidt was robbed of two hits, but still finished with a single and run scored. Brenna Mangan, Ashley Szuba, Addison Bury and Giuliana Wagner also had a hit.
