Liberty scored a 5-2 victory over Emmaus and an 11-1 victory over Pleasant Valley last week.

Doubles were had by Cailin Donegan, Alyssa Millhouse, Mikayla Ruppert, and Victoria Schmidt in the Hurricanes’ win over the Hornets.

“I got a lot more confident because of batting practice,” said Millhouse. “I relaxed my hands more and opened up more. It felt really good, especially after coming out of a slump.”

It was the fifth inning when the Hurricanes rallied for four runs to break a 1-1 tie.

Donegan led off with a double to center field, and Skilee Diaz reached first base on an infield error. Ruppert walked, and the bases were loaded for Michaela Brunnabend.

“I was really nervous, but we had a lot of hitting practice yesterday,” Brunnabend said.

The Liberty second baseman ended up with a double after her hit nipped and bounced off the glove of Emmaus’s third baseman.

“It was my first really big hit in awhile, and I’m glad we got to score on it,” said Brunnabend.

Reyna DeJesus’s hit to centerfield cleared the bases, as Brunnabend scored, and Kristin Kaleycik also had a hit to center before the inning ended.

Schmidt’s double came in the fourth inning.

“I just wanted to go up and get the pitch I wanted, and then I just went with it,” said Schmidt, who was also the winning pitcher.

Emmaus attempted a comeback in the seventh inning with two runners on base and one out.

“I was just trying to get every batter one at a time by hitting my spots, and throwing strikes, and letting the defense do the work,” Schmidt said.

In the Hurricanes’ victory over Pleasant Valley, Kaleycik had a homerun.

This week, Liberty will take on Pocono Mountain West.
