Recent Games

Mt Si 10 Liberty 6
Darren Peterson (3-4 2HR 6RBI) homered twice and drove in all 6 Liberty runs, but it wasn't enough as the Patriot squad was upended by the Wildcats. Also adding to the offensive production were Luke Oman (1-2 2BB) and George Suddock (1-3 BB).

Bellevue 3 Liberty 0 (10 innings)
Pitcher Garrett Hughes threw 9 innings of shutout ball, but Bellevue pushed across 3 runs in the top of the 10th inning to win it. Defensive gems by Lorin Archibald, George Suddock, Jalen Mano, and Hughes helped keep the Patriots in the game till the end.

Mercer Island 4 Liberty 1
The Patriots outhit the Islanders, but could not push across the runs. Garrett Hughes (2-3), Luke Oman (1-3 2B RBI), Jalen Mano (1-1 2BB).

Liberty drops 9-2 game to Juanita
Lorin Archibald (2-4), Conor Wray (2-3), Darren Peterson (1-2), Jalen Mano (1-4 RBI).

Sammamish 10 Liberty 5
An offensive outburst by Garrett Hughes, 4-4 with 2 doubles, was not enough as the Totems went ahead early. Lorin Archibald (2-4 RBI), Darren Peterson (1-3 3B), and Jalen Mano (2 RBIs) also contributed with the bats.

Lake Washington 8 Liberty 1
The Kangs tacked on 6 runs in the 3rd inning and the Patriots could not recover.

Interlake 4 Liberty 2
A 3-run home run by Interlake beat the Patriots in a well played game by both teams. Jalen Mano (1-2), Luke Oman (1-2), and Nick Short (1-3) posted Liberty's only hits of the game.

Mt Si 14 Liberty 1
The Patriot's struggle in a lopsided loss to Mt Si.

Bellevue 6 Liberty 5
A Patriot comeback falls short in another close loss. Liberty outhit Bellevue 11-6, with Lorin Archibald (3-3), Garrett Hughes (3-4), and Luke Oman (2-4) providing the offense, but it wasn't enough to overcome the early deficit..

Mercer Island 6 Liberty 4
Luke Oman (1-2) drove in 3 runs, Garrett Hughes (2-4) knocked in a run, and Darren Peterson (3-3) had himself a day at the plate, but it wasn't enough as the Patriots fall to the Islanders.

Sammamish 5 Liberty 4
The Patriots outhit Sammamish but could not overcome a couple of fielding miscues and leaving runners on base in a 5-4 loss. Jalen Mano (3-4 RBI), Garrett Hughes (2-4 RBI), and Michael Heath (2-4 RBI), produced the offense, and pitcher Lorin Archibald fanned 6 hitters from the hill.

Lake Washington takes one from Liberty 3-1
Garrett Hughes kept the Patriots close with solid pitching, but little offense was generated in the rain-soaked game. Jalen Mano (1-3, 1 BB) crossed the dish for Liberty's only run.

Liberty 0 Juanita 11
Garrett Hughes went 2-2 at the plate, but the Patriots could not muster much else as they fell to Juanita in five innings.

Interlake over Liberty 8-3
Luke Oman (2-3 2 RBI), Darren Peterson (1-2 RBI), and Tyler Haselman (2-4) provided the offense, but it wasn't enough as the Patriots lost their league opener to a tough Interlake team.

Liberty handles Highline 9-1
1 through 9 contributed on offense, but the day belonged to Patriot pitching and defense. Starter Chase Vanek allowed one hit and a single run, while striking out 6, and a collection of relievers closed out the ballgame with their own combined no hit pitching. Michael Heath, 3-4 (2 RBI) led the way at the plate, with Garrett Hughes, Lorin Archibald, and George Suddock also having a multi-hit game.

Liberty beats White River 3-1
Lorin Archibald tossed a complete game, limiting White River to 4 hits and a single run for the win.  Archibald and George Suddock both went 2-3 and a push bunt base hit by Kyler Rose scored Archibald for the go ahead run in the 6th inning. Archibald retired the side with three strikeouts in the 7th to seal the victory.

Liberty falls to Lindbergh 5-3
Despite outhitting the Eagles, the Patriots could not overcome allowing free passes and several timely fielding miscues. Doubles by Jalen Mano (2 RBI) and Garrett Hughes (RBI) brought Liberty within striking distance, but Lindbergh padded their lead with some late runs for the win.

Liberty over neighbor Hazen 7-3
George Suddock drove in 3 runs and Lorin Archibald pitched six strong innings to earn the Patriots their first win of the season. Chase Vanek sparked the offense with a 3-3 day at the plate and Archibald helped his cause going 2-3.

Tahoma handles Liberty 16-3
Tahoma proved too much for the Patriots despite Lorin Archibald's 3RBI effort at the plate. Kyler Rose also had a nice 2-3 day at the plate.

Liberty loses to Auburn Mountain View 6-0
Liberty's bats could not solve the opposing pitcher who limited the home team to just three hits. Garrett Hughes, Lorin Archibald, and Eddie Delgado each collected a hit for the Patriot offense.

Jamboree
Liberty more than held their own against last year's 3A state champs, Kentwood, and a strong Lindbergh team in the 2013 season opening Jamboree.

2012 Recap

Last season under first year head coach John Martin and his staff, Liberty Baseball carried a strong second half of league play into the KingCo 3A tournament. With solid pitching and timely offense, the Patriots won 3 of 4 tournament games and a 2nd place league finish.

In a close contest against a Metro team, Liberty came up just shy of a district tournament berth.

Thanks to the new coaching staff and senior ball players for a great season!
