For the second time this season, Liberty High School's softball team scored a victory over Bethlehem Catholic last Friday, this time by a score of 3-1 at Liberty.
Hurricane coach Sam Carrodo said, "Beca is so good, to be able to beat them twice in one year says a lot about our girls. The unbelieveable dedication and the effort. They don't get rattled, they control their emotions, and they bide their time."
On Friday, the Hawks scored first in the top of the first inning on an RBI by Julia Siedz.
In the bottom of the second inning, Tori Kaleycik scored the Hurricanes' first run, sliding in to home.
"I'm not the biggest base-stealer, but once I got the go to go home, I knew I had to score," Kaleycik said.
Then, in the bottom of the fifth inning, Precious Torres's triple turned into another run for Liberty.
"I swung at a low pitch. Beca overthrew, and the ball kept rolling," said Torres.
Kristin Kaleycik had a double and scored on Tori Kaleycik's single down the third base line.
"It was supposed to be a suicide squeeze, but the ball went foul. I wanted to score my sister, and i got it right down the middle," Kaleycik said.
This week, Liberty will go for its second victory of the season against Freedom.
Torres said, "It's amazing. This was our 15th win. It's crazy. We're ecstatic."
