4:30 p.m.: Varsity Softball vs. Chester Academy at Maple Avenue School (Chester)
Result: Liberty 0, Chester 19
On a blistering afternoon where the thermometer topped 90° and the heat index pushed a suffocating 95°, the Liberty Varsity softball team ran into a familiar buzzsaw. Facing off against a perennially tough Chester squad on Monday, the Redhawks suffered a grueling 19-0 defeat, further cementing Chester’s decade-long mastery in this rivalry. Over the last ten years, playing twice a year, Liberty has managed to solve the Chester puzzle just once. The Hambletonians made sure there would be no second surprise.
From the opening pitch, the contest was never truly in doubt. Chester’s offense exploded in the bottom of the first inning, sending 14 batters to the plate. Capitalizing on six hits, three walks, and three defensive miscues by a visibly struggling Liberty defense, the Hambletonians plated 10 quick runs. With a double-digit lead before the second frame even began, Chester never looked back.
Chester’s relentless offense pounded out 11 hits on the day, including five extra-base hits. The definitive exclamation point came in the bottom of the second inning courtesy of Paige Niles. Niles crushed a towering shot over the center-field fence for a home run.
The play of the game, however, belonged to Liberty’s center fielder, Maddy Stewart. Showing absolute disregard for her own well-being, Stewart tracked the ball to the warning track and gave a 100% effort, tumbling completely over the outfield fence in a heart-stopping attempt to rob Niles of the homer. While the ball cleared the wall, Stewart’s gritty athleticism earned the respect of everyone in attendance.
While Chester’s bats stole the early headlines, their starting pitcher kept the Varsity bats completely at bay. Striking out 15 batters, the Lily Lazier surrendered just two hits all afternoon. Though she battled a bit of wildness, issuing seven walks, her defense played flawlessly behind her to work out of any potential jams and preserve the shutout.
Despite the lopsided scoreboard, several Redhawks showed immense resilience while giving their all in the extreme heat. The Liberty offense was led by starting catcher Arianna Wilson, who anchored the team behind the plate in full gear before finishing 1-for-2 at the dish with a single and a walk. Maddy Stewart paired her spectacular defensive effort with a single of her own, while Katterin Reyes Guardado showed great discipline by reaching base twice on walks.
With the regular season rapidly drawing to a close, the Redhawks have no time to dwell on the loss. Only two games remain on the schedule, and everything is on the line. Liberty’s upcoming clash against Beacon will serve as the defining moment of their season, as the result of that matchup will officially determine whether or not the Redhawks qualify for the sectional tournament.

4:30 p.m.: JV Softball vs. Marlboro at Liberty High School
Result: Liberty 20, Marlboro 7
The Liberty JV Softball squad put on an absolute clinic on their home field yesterday afternoon, dismantling visiting Marlboro 20-7 in a five-inning, mercy-ruled contest. It was a flawless, all-around performance for the Redhawks, fueled by a relentless offensive onslaught and a masterful performance in the pitcher’s circle.
Liberty wasted no time establishing dominance, putting up “crooked” numbers in each of the first three frames. Before Marlboro could even blink, the Redhawks’ disciplined and explosive approach at the plate had propelled them to a commanding 11-0 lead.
Marlboro finally found some signs of life in the top of the fourth inning, crossing the plate four times to cut into the massive deficit. However, any hopes of a dramatic comeback were instantly crushed in the bottom half of the frame. The resilient Redhawks answered right back with a six-run explosion, stretching the lead to an insurmountable 17-4 and putting the game well out of reach.
The top of the Liberty lineup set a blistering pace all afternoon, acting as an unstoppable offensive avalanche. Montgomery Allen was the ultimate catalyst out of the leadoff spot, terrorizing Marlboro’s pitching by pounding out four hits—including a sharp double—and scoring five runs. Right behind her, Liberty’s number-two hitter Mya Davis kept the line moving perfectly, constantly setting the table and scoring four runs of her own.
The heart of the order did exactly what they were supposed to do by driving those runners home. Olivia Matuszak had a monster day at the dish, blasting a double and a single to rack up four RBIs while scoring once. Corinne Lake was equally lethal in the batter’s box, turning in a three-hit performance, scoring three times and driving in another three runs.
What made the victory truly special was the team’s collective patience and balance. Liberty batters refused to chase bad pitches, drawing 12 walks to go along with their 12 hits on the day. In an impressive display of total team chemistry, every single starter in the lineup scored at least one run in the balanced attack.
While the offense provided plenty of fireworks, Harper Matuszak was pure dominance in the circle. Matuszak completely baffled Marlboro’s hitters over her five full innings of work. She surrendered just four hits and did not allow a single earned run all afternoon, pairing her pinpoint control with excellent velocity to rack up an incredible 11 strikeouts.
With the blowout victory, the Redhawks improved their impressive season record to 6-2. They will look to carry this immense momentum on the road tomorrow as they travel to take on S.S. Seward.

4 p.m.: JV Softball vs. S.S. Seward Institute at The Rock Sports Park
Result: Liberty 27, Chester 13
The Liberty JV softball team continued their winning ways today, traveling to Chester and flying home with a high-powered 27-13 victory over S.S. Seward. The win marks the second time this season the Redhawks have defeated Seward in a game that featured plenty of offensive fireworks from both sides before Liberty ultimately pulled away.
The game started as a neck-and-neck shootout, with both squads trading punches early and matching each other with two runs apiece in the opening frame. Liberty appeared to take total control in the top of the second inning, exploding for a massive nine-run outburst. However, the resilient Seward squad refused to go quietly, responding with five runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning to keep themselves well within striking distance. After trading runs through the third and fourth innings, the Redhawks finally found their separation in the later frames as the defense and pitching locked things down. The Redhawks plated four runs in the 5th and three more in the 6th, all while holding Seward completely scoreless. The definitive exclamation point came in the final frame when the relentless Redhawks  poured on seven insurance runs in the top of the 7th, putting the game entirely out of reach for Seward.
The emotional highlight of the day belonged on the pitcher’s mound. Amelia Cole delivered a gritty, stellar performance, tossing her very first complete game. Cole navigated all seven innings to secure her first official JV victory. Following the final out, her teammates celebrated the major milestone in ecstatic fashion with her.
Supporting Cole was a Liberty offense that put on an absolute clinic. The batters showed incredible discipline to draw 10 walks while terrorizing Seward’s pitching staff for 28 total hits. In a true team effort, every single Redhawk player crossed the plate to score at least one run. Olivia Matuszak led the charge, racking up an incredible six hits, including two doubles, while scoring three runs and driving in four. Montgomery Allen also had a monster day at the plate, adding five hits with a triple, scoring four runs, and driving in a game-high seven RBIs.
The offensive barrage did not stop there. Emma Tacti added two doubles and two singles to finish with five RBIs, a feat matched by Corinne Lake, who also drove in five runs on a four-hit day. Alex Kelly and Myla Rielly each cracked a double and scored four runs apiece, while Mya Davis chipped in a triple to round out the extra-base hits.

4:15 p.m.: Modified Softball vs. Tri-Valley at Liberty Elementary School

NA: Varsity Softball vs. Beacon
Result: Liberty win by forfeit
In a bittersweet but historic turn of events, the Liberty Varsity Softball team officially clinched second place in the OCIAA Division 3 yesterday afternoon. The division victory was awarded to the Redhawks via forfeit by the Beacon Bulldogs, who were forced to withdraw due to a depleted roster after losing their starting pitcher to an injury. While it wasn’t the traditional battle on the diamond, the win solidifies a milestone achievement for the Liberty program.
With the victory officially in the books, the Redhawks have secured their best finish since New York State implemented its new divisional format during the 2023-2024 school year. For a team that battled adversity before the season even began, taking the number two spot in the division is nothing short of extraordinary.
To truly appreciate the magnitude of this achievement, one has to look back to the first week of tryouts. Low turnout left the athletic department uncertain if Liberty could even field a Varsity squad this spring. When the program was on the brink, a group of resilient student-athletes stepped up. Despite having little to no prior softball experience, Danielia Ponce Flores, Analeah Ocasio, Katterin Reyes Guardado, Aimee Sherwood, and Tianna Wilson dove headfirst into the sport. They learned the game on the fly with infectious enthusiasm, and as their skills grew, every single one of these newcomers became an essential piece of the puzzle, directly contributing to Liberty’s divisional run.
By traditional metrics, it was a grueling season. A brutal non-division schedule led to a tough overall win-loss record, a truly inexperienced roster, and a plague of injuries tested the roster’s depth on a weekly basis. Yet, numbers on a standard scoreboard don’t tell the whole story. This 2026 Redhawks squad did something no previous team in the modern divisional era could accomplish. They showed grit, saved a season from cancellation, and put Liberty softball back on the map.
The regular season comes to a close this afternoon. The Redhawks will take their home field one last time as they host S.S. Seward. First pitch is scheduled for today at 4:30, and local fans are encouraged to come out and support a team that should hold their heads high after a remarkable, barrier-breaking year.

Result: Liberty 3, S.S. Seward 18
The Liberty Varsity softball team endured a difficult final tune-up of the regular season today, dropping an 18-3 decision to a sharp S.S. Seward squad. The Spartans wasted no time setting the tone, taking advantage of early Liberty errors and walks to jump out to a commanding 14-0 lead through the first two innings, leaving the Redhawks searching for answers.
Seward’s offense proved relentless from the opening pitch, challenging Liberty’s pitching and defense. The Spartans’ disciplined approach at the plate yielded 11 hits and 10 walks, keeping the basepaths busy and the pressure turned up high. The visitors’ attack was spearheaded by the lethal duo of Emerson Dazi and Julia Contursi. The pair put on a hitting clinic, combining for six hits—including three doubles—and crossing the plate five times to anchor the Spartans’ high-scoring afternoon.
Despite the early deficit, the Redhawks refused to throw in the towel and found a few bright spots at the plate as the game progressed. Power-hitting Amy Szuba provided a spark for the home crowd when she crushed a towering double deep into right field. Meanwhile, leadoff hitter Maddy Stewart did her job at the top of the lineup, reaching base twice with a single and a walk, terrorizing the defense with two stolen bases, and eventually coming around to score. Annaleah Ocasio also showed great patience at the dish, drawing two walks and scoring a run for the Redhawks.
While the regular season officially came to a close for both Seward and the Varsity squads tonight, the real season is just beginning for Liberty. The Redhawks will shift their focus immediately to the postseason. The team is scheduled to find out their official seed and tournament schedule tonight for the Sectional playoffs, which are set to kick off next week. With a clean slate ahead of them, the Redhawks will look to shake off the finale and bring their best to the postseason stage.

4:30 p.m.: JV Softball vs. Port Jervis  at  Port Jervis Middle School
Result: Liberty 2, Port Jervis 9
The Liberty JV softball squad ran into a formidable buzzsaw on Thursday, dropping a tough 9-2 decision on the road against a powerhouse Port Jervis Raiders program. Despite the final score, the Redhawks have every reason to hold their heads high. Port Jervis boasts a deeply talented roster loaded with seasoned travel players, but Liberty went toe-to-toe with them in a gritty, high-energy battle that proved just how much heart this team possesses.
The Raiders jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning, using their powerful lineup to set the tone. However, the Redhawks refused to back down. In the top of the third, Liberty’s disciplined approach paid off as they manufactured a run to cut the deficit to 2-1.
Port Jervis showed why they are one of the most respected programs in the area, breaking the game open by tacking on five runs over the next two innings to seal the victory. Yet, looking at the box score, the game was much closer than the final tally indicated. The Redhawks were only out-hit 6 to 4 on the afternoon, battling fiercely against a dominant Port Jervis ace.
Several Liberty players put together stellar performances against the elite pitching. Montgomery Allen shone brightly with some phenomenal at-bats in the defeat, finishing the day with two hits and a run scored. Corinne Lake also displayed incredible discipline at the plate, going 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored, while Harper Matuszak proved to be a major factor by adding a hit, a walk, and an RBI to the Redhawks’ tally. Liberty’s overall enthusiasm never wavered, and the players represented their school with immense pride and class from the first pitch to the final out.
With the loss, the Redhawks’ impressive season record now stands at 7-3. They have one final regular-season showdown remaining next Tuesday on the road against Fallsburg, where they will look to finish the year on a high note.
Win or lose, this group showed exactly what Liberty softball is all about at the end of the day. Following the tough loss, the team didn’t let their spirits drop. Instead, they proved they are a true family by heading straight to Burger King to celebrate teammate Sophia’s birthday. Complete with party hats, laughter, and birthday cake, the Redhawks reminded everyone that the bond they share stretches far beyond the diamond.

Result: Liberty 0, Port Jervis 20
The Port Jervis Raiders lived up to their reputation as an OCIAA Class A powerhouse on Monday, delivering a dominant 20-0 performance against the visiting Liberty Varsity Redhawks. While the Raiders’ offensive explosion stole the headlines, the contest served as a developmental milestone for an inexperienced Liberty squad finding its footing against elite competition.
Port Jervis starter Izzy Maida was the story of the afternoon from the rubber. Maida silenced the Liberty bats, racking up 11 strikeouts over just five innings of work. Her precision and velocity kept the Redhawks off-balance throughout, anchoring a defensive effort that allowed the Raiders to end the game early via the mercy rule.
The Raiders’ offense was equally relentless. Every starter in the lineup reached base at least once, showcasing a deep and disciplined roster that pressured the Redhawks from the first pitch. In a total team effort, 10 different batters crossed the plate, turning the game into a clinic of aggressive base running and timely hitting.
Despite the lopsided score, the Redhawks showed significant heart as they continue a season defined by versatility and “learning on the go.” The team continues to come together even with three players currently holding down and learning new positions on the fly.
On the mound for Liberty, Giuliana Wagner showed immense grit by recording her first-ever varsity complete game. Though the outing was shortened by the run rule, her willingness to battle against one of the league’s most potent lineups provided a valuable learning experience for her.
The Redhawk defense also provided several bright spots that kept the dugout energized. Shortstop Maddy Stewart anchored the infield with a sharp catch of a liner where she doubled off a runner from second, and Daniela Ponce Flores tracking down a very deep fly ball to make a great catch and save extra bases.
The Redhawks will not have much time to dwell on the loss as the schedule remains grueling. Liberty will look to keep their heads held high as they return home to face another formidable opponent, the Sullivan West Bulldogs, tomorrow at 4:30 p.m..

4:30 p.m.: Varsity Softball vs. James I. O’Neill at Liberty High School
Result: Liberty 16, James I. O’Neill 28
The afternoon began with tears and tributes, but it ended in a whirlwind of offense as the Liberty Varsity Softball team dropped a high-scoring 28-16 decision to the visiting O’Neill Raiders.
Before the opening pitch, the afternoon belonged exclusively to Liberty’s senior class. In a touching pre-game ceremony surrounded by family, friends, and floral bouquets, heartfelt speeches echoed across the diamond. Seniors Aimee Sherwood, Brooke Porter, Arianna Wilson, and Angie Wheeler were celebrated not just for their athletic contributions, but for their profound impact off the field as exemplary role models for the program’s younger players.
Once the game commenced, however, the O’Neill Raiders showed no signs of road weariness after their long bus ride. Coming out with their bats ablaze, the Raiders capitalized on a Redhawk defensive miscue to jump out to a commanding 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning.
Liberty quickly answered with three runs of their own in the bottom of the frame, but the Raiders immediately turned on the jets. O’Neill exploded for ten runs in the second inning and added another six in the top of the third, claiming a resounding 21-3 advantage.
The Raiders’ unrelenting 21-hit offensive barrage was spearheaded by the tandem of Kyrei Cadet and Belle DeSpirito. The duo put on an absolute clinic, finishing a combined 9-for-10 at the plate with a double, a triple, five runs scored, and nine runs driven in.
Facing such a massive deficit, a lesser team might have folded, especially a Liberty squad currently battling injuries, shuffling players into unfamiliar positions, and starting three players who began the season on the bench. Instead, the gritty Redhawks fought back. Displaying excellent plate discipline, sharp base running, and timely hitting, Liberty chipped away at the lead by drawing walks and manufacturing a stunning 13-run counter-attack.
Guiliana Wagner was the undisputed catalyst for the Redhawk offense. Wagner turned in a stellar performance, finishing the day with four hits, including a double, three runs scored, and five runs driven in.
Liberty’s top of the lineup provided a major spark to keep the rally alive. Both Maddy Stewart and Angie Wheeler finished the day with three runs scored and two stolen bases apiece. Amy Szuba turned in a solid performance, going 1-for-3 with a run scored and two runs driven in, while Arianna Wilson also crossed the plate once and drove in two runs of her own. In a total team effort, ten different Liberty players scored at least one run during the contest.
Ultimately, the early deficit proved too large to overcome, and the final score marked Liberty’s fifth straight defeat. Yet, despite the sting of the loss, the day left a remarkably positive imprint on the program. The enduring celebration of the seniors, coupled with the never-say-die attitude displayed by the varsity lineup, ensured it was a good day indeed for Liberty softball.

Saturday, May 16

9:30 a.m.: Boys and Girls Varsity Track & Field vs. Multiple Schools at Warwick Valley High School

11 a.m.: Varsity Softball vs. Cornwall Central at Liberty High School
Result: Liberty 1, Cornwall 24
The formidable Cornwall Dragons, a Class AA powerhouse, brought their high-powered offense to town this afternoon, handing the Liberty Varsity Softball team a tough 24-1 defeat.
If there was any doubt regarding the outcome of the contest, Cornwall erased it immediately. The Dragons’ bats came alive in the opening frames, exploding for 17 runs across the first two innings to secure a commanding, insurmountable lead early on.
Cornwall’s relentless offensive attack produced 23 hits on the day, orchestrated by a balanced lineup where all ten starters finished with at least one hit and one run scored. Eight different hitters recorded at least one run driven in, but it was Alana Hayes who stole the spotlight for the Dragons. Hayes was spectacular at the plate, blasting a home run and a triple, crossing the plate three times, and driving in six runs.
Despite facing the heavily favored Class AA program, the Redhawks refused to let the formidable deficit completely quiet their bats. Giuliana Wagner continued to be a bright spot for the Liberty offense, finishing the day 1-for-2 and scoring the team’s lone run. Arianna Wilson also put together a strong performance at the plate, reaching base twice by drawing a disciplined walk and crushing a booming double to right center field.
The road ahead does not get any easier for the varsity squad. Liberty will look to bounce back quickly as they prepare to face another tough foe, traveling to Chester on Monday for their final road game of the season.

11 a.m.: JV Softball vs. Cornwall Central at Liberty Elementary School
Result:  Liberty 4, Cornall 14
The final score line might read 14-4 in favor of Class AA powerhouse Cornwall, but anyone at the field yesterday afternoon knows it doesn’t tell the whole story. Hosting the Dragons at Liberty Elementary School, the Redhawks JV softball team went toe-to-toe with the larger school opponent, trailing just 8-4 heading into the final frame before a late offensive explosion allowed the visitors to pull away.
In a stunning display of offensive grit, the Redhawks actually outhit Cornwall 11-10 on the day. However, timely hitting and a late-game surge ultimately secured the victory for the Dragons.
Cornwall jumped out to an early advantage, utilizing their deep lineup to score three runs in both the second and third innings. Liberty’s defense clamped down over the next two frames to keep the game within reach, but the Dragons struck again in the top of the sixth, plating two more runs to extend their lead to a commanding 8-1.
With only one inning left, many teams would have given up. The Redhawks did the exact opposite. Refusing to go down without a fight, the Liberty offense awoke in the bottom of the seventh. A string of disciplined at-bats and hard-hit balls quickly cut into the deficit, pushing three runs across the plate and narrowing the score to a manageable 8-4.
The spark plug for the Redhawks’ offense was Emma Tacti, who put on a clinic at the plate. Tacti finished the afternoon going 3-for-4, highlighted by a booming triple to left field, and scored twice on the day. Montgomery Allen also had a stellar performance, finishing 2-for-4 with a clutch double and an RBI, while Alex Kelly delivered under pressure by going 1-for-3 and driving in two runs.
The comeback bid, however, was cut short. In the final half-inning, the Dragons reasserted their Class AA pedigree, capitalizing on late opportunities to score six runs, ultimately pulling away to seal the 14-4 win.
Despite the loss, the JV Redhawks can hold their heads high. Standing toe-for-toe with a premier Class AA program is no small feat. In fact, Liberty’s gritty performance and relentless hustle didn’t just impress the local fans at the elementary school—it caught the attention of the opposition. Following the final handshake, the Cornwall coaching staff offered high praise and compliments to the Redhawks for their talent and competitive spirit. Liberty will look to carry this offensive momentum and fighting attitude into their next matchup.

4:15 p.m.: Varsity Softball vs. Eldred at Liberty High School
Result: Liberty 1, Eldred 15
The Liberty Varsity softball team faced a tough afternoon on the diamond, dropping a 15-1 decision to Eldred in a five-inning mercy-rule game on their home field.
Eldred’s ace, Giada Donato, was the story of the day, stifling the Redhawks’ offense from the opening pitch. Donato carried a no-hitter into the final frame, racking up 11 strikeouts and keeping the Liberty lineup off-balance throughout the contest until a two-out single in the bottom of the fifth.
The visiting Yellowjackets wasted no time building an insurmountable lead, taking advantage of exceptional plate discipline to jump out to a 15-0 advantage by the end of the second inning. Eldred drew 17 walks on the day and paired that patience with seven timely hits, while also executing aggressively on the basepaths.
The Eldred offensive attack was anchored by a stellar performance from Madison Gaeta, who reached base safely in multiple ways by tallying two hits and two walks, driving in four runs, and scoring twice. Sydney Furler also had a massive afternoon, reaching base four times while swiping three stolen bases and crossing the plate three times. Emma Bisland contributed significantly as well, drawing four walks, driving in two runs, and scoring twice.
For Liberty, the lone hit of the game came in the bottom of the fifth inning. With two outs, Angie Wheeler delivered a solid base knock to break up the no-hit bid. Wheeler reached base twice on the afternoon. The Redhawks’ lone run was scored by Brooke Porter, who was driven home on an RBI from Maddy Stewart.
Despite the scoreboard, Liberty’s Coach Philips expressed immense pride in the team’s defensive grit and effort. The outfield in particular kept the squad energized with several highlight-reel plays, beginning with Maddy Stewart, who tracked down three impressive running catches in centerfield. Angie Wheeler added another spectacular catch in centerfield to rob Eldred of extra bases, while Daniela Ponce Flores flashed the leather with a great catch on a hard-hit opposite-field line drive.

4 p.m.: Varsity Softball vs. S.S. Seward Institute at The Rock Sports Park
Result: Liberty 6, S.S. Seward 25
In sports, as in life, character is rarely defined by the scoreboard; rather, it is developed in how a team responds when bad news hits. At The Rocks Sports Park, the Liberty Varsity Softball team faced a mountain of adversity before the first pitch was even thrown, eventually falling 25-6 to a disciplined S.S. Seward squad in a game that tested their fortitude far more than their fundamentals.
The Redhawks took the field with heavy hearts following the news that their reigning team MVP has succumbed to a season-ending injury. It was a blow that could have defeated any program, but instead, it brought about a display of selfless flexibility. Athletes shifted roles to support their teammates. The Varsity squad was also bolstered by JV call-ups Harper Matuszak and Corinne Lake, both of whom stepped into starting roles without hesitation.
Liberty showed an immediate spark in the top of the 1st inning, manufacturing a run to take an early lead. However, the Spartans of S.S. Seward responded with an offensive display in the bottom half, utilizing walks, aggressive baserunning, and timely hitting to hang nine runs on the board. True to their gritty reputation though, the Redhawks refused to fold. In the top of the 2nd, Liberty roared back with a five-run rally. Brooke Porter, Maddy Stewart, Giuliana Wagner, Arianna Wilson, and Amy Szuba all crossed the plate, clawing the deficit back to a manageable 9-6.
After Liberty’s defense held Seward scoreless in the 2nd, momentum seemed to be shifting. However, the 3rd inning proved decisive as Seward exploded for 12 runs, aided by defensive miscues but fueled by their own plate discipline. The lead became insurmountable, and the game was eventually called after five innings due to the mercy rule.
Despite the result, several Redhawks turned in stellar individual performances. Arianna led the offensive charge with an RBI triple, reaching base three times, and scoring once. Maddy was a constant threat, reaching base twice, swiping two bags, and scoring twice. Lilli Black showed a keen eye at the plate, reaching twice and contributing an RBI.
On the defensive side, the trio of Maddy, Arianna, and Harper personified team loyalty, each playing three different positions during the contest to cover the gaps left by injury. Behind the plate, Corinne played a solid game and showing immense toughness while battling a jammed finger.
While the final score was a loss, Coach Philips saw a lot to celebrate. “I couldn’t be more proud of this group,” Philips said following the game. “They battled all day long in the face of incredible adversity. To see them step into new roles, show that kind of effort, and maintain their resiliency after losing a key leader—that shows the kind of people they are growing into. They can hold their heads high.”
The Redhawks now head into a well-deserved break to regroup and heal. They will return to action next Monday as they travel to take on Port Jervis.

Result: Liberty 14, Fallsburg 7
Not even a lengthy layoff could cool the bats of the Redhawks. In a dominant display of offensive depth and lights-out pitching, the JV Redhawks secured their fifth consecutive victory yesterday afternoon, overpowering Fallsburg 14-7 on the road.
The Redhawks wasted no time establishing dominance, jumping out to a commanding 8-1 lead in the first inning. The onslaught continued until the lead reached a staggering 14-1 by the third inning, though the visitors were forced to weather a late-inning offensive surge from Fallsburg to finalize the win.
The early offensive explosion was sparked by Emma Tacti, who put on a clinic at the plate. Tacti finished the day 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, and an RBI. She was joined in the three-hit club by Myla Rielly, whose consistent contact resulted in three runs driven in for the Redhawks.
In what Coach Lake described as a “true team effort,” the middle of the lineup proved relentless. Montgomery Allen was a constant presence on the basepaths, recording two hits and crossing the plate three times. Corinne Lake also turned in a multi-hit performance, including a double and two runs scored while leading the team with three RBIs.
The power display continued with Olivia Matuszak and Harper Matuszak, who both tallied two hits including a double apiece. Alex Kelly rounded out the multi-hit barrage with two hits of her own, driving in two runs to help extend the Redhawks’ lead.
While the bats provided the cushion, Harper Matuszak provided the security from the pitcher’s circle. Serving as both the starter and the reliever, Harper dominated the Fallsburg lineup over six innings of work. She allowed a mere one hit on the day while racking up 14 strikeouts, effectively silencing the Comet’s bats for the majority of the contest.
Following the victory, Coach Lake praised the resilience of the squad, noting the difficulty of performing at such a high level after a significant break in the schedule.
The Redhawks will need to maintain the effort they displayed yesterday as they head into the most demanding stretch of their season. As the year draws to a close, the team faces a true endurance test next week, with four games scheduled over a span of just six days. Based on their performance in Fallsburg, the Redhawks appear more than ready for the challenge.

11 a.m.: Girls Varsity Golf vs. Multiple Schools at Villa Roma Country Club

4:15 p.m.: Varsity Softball vs. Rockland Central School District at Rockland MS/HS
Result: Liberty 19, Rockland 4
The Liberty Varsity softball team left little room for doubt on Monday afternoon, dismantling the Rockland Wolves 19-4 in a mercy-rule shortened five-inning contest. Combining surgical precision in the circle with a relentless offensive barrage, the Redhawks broke their 4 game losing streak.
The story of the day began on the rubber, where Angie Wheeler delivered a masterclass in efficiency. Wheeler silenced the Wolves’ bats for four shutout innings, surrendering only two hits while racking up seven strikeouts. Most impressive, however, was her command; Wheeler threw a staggering 87% of her pitches for strikes, consistently ahead in the count and forcing Rockland into defensive swings all afternoon.
While Angie kept the Wolves at bay, the Redhawk offense went to work, pounding out 10 hits and showing elite plate discipline to work the count for 14 walks. Maddy Stewart once again served as the catalyst out of the leadoff spot, putting on a clinic by finishing 4-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, and four runs scored.
The middle of the lineup proved just as lethal. Giuliana Wagner finished 2-for-3 with a double and two walks, accounting for three runs scored and three RBI. Angie helped her own cause at the plate, mirroring those numbers with a 2-for-3 performance of her own, including a double, two walks, and two RBI.
The depth of the Liberty roster was on full display as Amy Szuba drove in three runs, while Arianna Wilson reached base three times and crossed the plate twice. Brooke Porter was equally vital to the scoring effort, reaching base four times and scoring two runs to keep the pressure on the Rockland defense.
Despite the lopsided score, the Rockland Wolves never surrendered, competing with a grit that served as a credit to their school and coaching staff. The Wolves’ offense found some rhythm late, led by Allison Froehlich, who collected two hits, and Alex Potosek, who connected for a solid double.
The Redhawks look to carry this momentum into their next matchup vs Seward at home Thursday.

4:30 p.m.: JV Softball vs. S.S. Seward Institute at S.S. Seward Institute
Result: Liberty 18, Seward 2
The Liberty Redhawks JV squad showed no signs of road weariness on Monday afternoon, dismantling S.S. Seward 18-2 to secure their fourth consecutive victory. In a game defined by relentless offensive pressure and elite pitching, the Redhawks proved why they are currently so hot and a team to be reckoned with.
The Liberty offense was set to go from the first pitch, punishing the Spartans’ pitching staff for 17 total hits and showing disciplined eyes to draw five walks. The scoring was a complete team effort, highlighted by the feat of every single Liberty starter recording at least one hit in the contest.
Harper Matuszak led the power surge, smashing two doubles and collecting three RBIs. Corinne Lake continued her torrid stretch at the plate, swinging a “hot bat” to the tune of two hits and a game-high five RBIs. Mya Davis was equally lethal, contributing three hits—including a double—and scoring three times, while Montgomery Allen’s speed on the basepaths resulted in another three runs for the visitors.
While the stars at the top of the order grabbed the headlines, the bottom of the lineup proved pivotal in the blowout. Emma Tacti, Mady Rielly, Alex Kelly, and Myla Rielly contributed to the Redhawk scoring machine, with each player crossing the plate twice to keep the pressure mounting in every frame.
As dominant as the offense was, Matuszak was equally spectacular in the circle. Delivering a masterful complete-game performance, she stifled the Seward hitters over five innings of work. Matuszak surrendered just a single hit to finish with a one-hitter, giving up only two runs while racking up nine strikeouts.
With four straight road wins under their belt, the Redhawks return home with a massive wave of momentum and a lineup that appears nearly impossible to quiet.

Result: Liberty 6, Eldred 11
In a back-and-forth contest that lived up to the hype, the Eldred Yellowjackets surged from behind, scoring seven runs in the final two innings to defeat the Liberty Redhawks 11-6. The game was a tightly contested matchup from the very first pitch, setting an electric tone for the afternoon between the two local rivals.
Liberty wasted no time getting their offense rolling, jumping out to an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. However, the Yellowjackets showed they were not going to back down, immediately responding with four runs in the bottom of the frame to take a brief 4-3 advantage. The lead changed hands again in the top of the third when Liberty rallied to score three runs, aided by a clutch two-run double by Giuliana Wagner, putting the Redhawks back on top 6-4.
That advantage held strong for Liberty behind the impressive pitching of Angie Wheeler. Angie stifled the Eldred offense through the middle innings and recorded 15 strikeouts on the afternoon, officially passing the 350 career strikeout milestone.
The turning point of the game arrived in the bottom of the fifth inning. After a leadoff single by Sydney Furler and a runner reaching on a dropped third strike, Eldred’s Olivia Gonzalez blasted a home run over the center-field fence. The decisive shot gave the Yellowjackets a 7-6 lead, one they would never relinquish. Eldred tacked on four more insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth to pull away. Liberty’s offense showed fight but was ultimately thwarted by a stellar defensive effort from the Yellowjackets, who turned three double plays on the afternoon to prevent Liberty rallies.
For the Redhawks, the top of the lineup once again led the charge. Giuliana finished the day with a double, two singles, three RBI, and a run scored. Maddy Stewart had a hit and scored twice, while Angie helped her own cause with a single and a run scored. Corinne Lake also made an impact in her first varsity start, crossing the plate for a run.
Liberty and Eldred will battle once again on Monday as the two teams prepare for a quick rematch.

Results: Liberty 3, Burke Catholic 19
Burke Catholic used a very balanced offense, scoring all 5 innings except one, to easily defeat the Varsity team 19-3 on Tuesday afternoon.
The Burke bats ignited early and never cooled down. After plating a run in the top of the first via a triple and a following single, the Eagles leaned heavily on the top of their order to break the game open.The trio at the top of the Eagles’ line-up of Anna Lawless, Morgan Owens, and Cate Farrell turned in a nearly flawless performance at the plate, combining for a staggering stat line of a combined 8-for-9, 4 doubles, a triple, 2 walks, 8 runs scored and 11 RBI.
Despite the lopsided score, Liberty (2-6) showed flashes of offensive promise. Giuliana Wagner anchored the lineup with a multi-hit game, finishing with two hits and an RBI. Angie Wheeler also put together several gritty plate appearances, ending the day 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, and a run scored.
While the loss marks a setback for Liberty, the team remains focused on developmental growth and maintaining a positive culture on the diamond as they move deeper into their schedule.

4 p.m.: Boys Varsity Golf vs. Tri-Valley at Tarry Brae Golf Course

4 p.m.: Varsity Softball vs. Tri-Valley at Liberty High School
Results: Liberty 5, Tri-Valley 8
In a contest defined by dominant circle performances and early offensive sparks, the Tri-Valley Bears overcame an early deficit to defeat the Varsity 8–5 on Wednesday afternoon. The matchup featured a high-level display of pitching prowess from both dugouts in this well-played game.
The story of the game was the elite work in the circle. Liberty’s Angie Wheeler turned in a commanding performance, pitching a complete game and racking up a staggering 16 strikeouts. Despite her dominance and ability to overpower hitters, she was tagged with a “hard-luck” loss after Tri-Valley’s late-inning surge found the gaps in the defense.
The Bears countered with a powerful duo on the rubber to keep the Redhawk bats in check. Caitlyn Monell earned the win, tossing four innings with 8  strikeouts while Avery Carrier then entered to slam the door, earning a three-inning save by matching Monell’s eight strikeouts.
Liberty jumped out to an early 4–1 lead, but Tri-Valley dismantled the deficit with aggressive baserunning and situational hitting. By the 3rd inning, the Bears had tied the score before pulling away with crucial insurance runs late in the game. The top of the Tri-Valley order proved nearly impossible to retire, led by Avery and Caitlyn’s performances at the plate finishing a combined 7-for-7 on the day with 2 doubles, a triple, 2 RBI  and 3 runs scored.
Liberty remained competitive throughout the afternoon, showing plenty of life in their own lineup. Giuliana Wagner led the charge, going 2-for-3 with a double and 2 RBI, while Amy Szuba provided consistent pressure with a three-hit performance and two runs batted in. Angie also contributed offensively, finishing 2-for-3 with two runs scored.
Despite the Redhawks dropping their 4th straight game to move to 2–7 on the season, the atmosphere in the dugout remained electric. The team’s resilience was the primary takeaway for the coaching staff who continue to be very proud of the heart of their team. Even with the recent skid, the Varsity fought for every out and every base and showed a “never-give-up” mentality that will help the team continue to grow.

Result: Liberty 18, Chapel Field 4
The Liberty JV softball squad secured its third consecutive victory on Thursday afternoon, dismantling the Chapel Field Lions in a convincing 18–4 five-inning decision. While the Lions managed to scratch across two runs in the top of the first inning, the Redhawks responded immediately with three runs in the bottom half and never looked back.
The Liberty offense proved to be the story of the day, relentless from the first pitch to the last. The Redhawks pounded out 19 hits in total, with an impressively balanced attack that saw every member of the starting lineup cross home plate at least once.
Mady Rielly and Emma Tacti anchored the hit parade, both finishing with perfect 4-for-4 performances. Mady tallied two runs and two RBI, while Emma notched three RBI and scored twice. Corinne Lake also turned in a flawless day at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, two runs scored, and three RBI. The offensive onslaught continued with Montgomery Allen, who collected three hits and an RBI, while Mya Davis and Harper Matuszak showcased their speed on the basepaths by scoring three runs apiece.
The double-digit cushion was largely provided by a hitting clinic by the Redhawks in the bottom of the fourth, where Liberty exploded for 11 runs to effectively seal the contest.
On the rubber, Harper Matuszak backed up the offensive fireworks with a steady performance in the circle. Matuszak earned her third win of the season, yielding just three earned runs on six hits while fanning 9 batters over five innings of work.
Now riding the momentum of a three-game surge, this close-knit squad looks to extend its streak on Monday. The Redhawks will travel to face S.S. Seward, seeking to keep their mid-season rhythm alive on the road.
