The Liberty softball team suffered their first loss of the season on Monday, falling 5-0 to Lake Washington. The loss came after the team racked up its seventh win on Friday against Interlake.

The Patriots went to Interlake on April 3 and quickly fell behind as Interlake put up 2 runs in the first inning. But Liberty never backed down and plated a run in the fourth to cut the lead to 2-1, only to see Interlake score again in the bottom of the inning.

But again, Liberty battled, scoring 4 runs in the top of the fifth and then adding a run in each the sixth and seventh inning to come away with a 7-4 victory.

Hannah McMullin and Sydney Hopper again led the way for Liberty. Hopper went 2-for-5 with 3 RBI while McMullin went 2-for-3 at the plate with a triple and an RBI. Jayme Shaw also added 2 RBI for the Patriots.

Hopper also picked up the win, striking out 10 and walking 2 in 7 innings of work. Only one of Interlake’s runs was earned as Liberty posted six errors in the game.

Things did not go as smoothly on Monday though as Lake Washington held Liberty to just 2 hits and no runs in a 5-0 loss.

Hopper stuck out 4 and took the loss.

Liberty is now 7-1 on the season overall and 6-1 in the KingCo conference.

Liberty was scheduled to play a rematch with Lake Washington on Tuesday.
