Liberty 1 - Lees Summit 0
Liberty won a hard fought battle over the Lees Summit Tigers. Mandi Dennis won a pitching duel by shutting out the Tigers over 7 innings. A great defensive play by the Tigers, and bad luck when a sharply hit ball struck a Blue Jay runner, ended Blue Jay scoring opportunities early in the game. The Blue Jays, however, had perfect bunts and clutch hitting in the bottom half of the seventh to walk off the field victorious.
A highlight film moment for fans came when Angela Mahan was drilled in the head by a fastball. There was a very brief moment of silence in the crowd before on deck hitter Abby Smith rasped out at 10,000 decibels "Atta Girl Ang! Atta way to take one for the team! Yeah!". Angela smiled and hustled down to first showing the toughness of this Blue Jay squad.
