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.
4:30 p.m.: Varsity Baseball vs. James I. O’Neill at James I. O’Neill High School
Tuesday, May 5
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.

4 p.m.: JV Softball vs. Fallsburg at Benjamin Cosor Elementary School
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.
