PIRATES PILLAGE A PAIR OF CONFERENCE WINS
RAVENNA OH- It was a full day’s work for the Southeast Pirates, and they made it count—taking both games of a Thursday doubleheader against Liberty. Game 1 was all about offense, while Game 2 turned into a low-scoring pitchers’ duel.
Game 1 – Pirates Explode in the Third to Run Away with Game One
Southeast’s lineup came alive in the third inning of Game 1, hanging a crooked seven on Liberty to blow things wide open in a 13-3 win. They were already rolling after scoring twice in the first and another three in the second, including an inside-the-park homer and a triple ripped down the left field line.
That third inning rally featured everything—an error to start the scoring, a groundout RBI, a bases-loaded walk, and back-to-back RBI singles to cap the outburst.
In the circle, Southeast got three solid innings from their starter, who punched out five while giving up just three hits and two earned. The bullpen came in and shut things down in the fourth, putting the game on ice.
The Pirates pounded out 10 hits in the opener, with multiple players putting together multi-hit efforts. They were sharp in the field too—no errors, quick throws, and a double-digit win to kick off the day.
Game 2 – Bragg and Powell Team Up to Blank Liberty
Game 2 was a whole different story—tight, clean, and all about the pitching.
Southeast scratched across a run in the first off a sharp RBI single and tacked on another in the second. That’s all they’d need.
Liv Bragg set the tone with two scoreless innings, striking out three, and then Savannah Powell came in and tossed three clean frames of her own to lock up the 2-0 shutout.
The bats didn’t have to do much, but still delivered just enough with four hits, including a pair from Morgan Muncy. No mistakes in the field either—Southeast played crisp defense all afternoon, completing the sweep with zero errors over both games.
Liberty had a few bright spots at the plate in each game but couldn’t break through when it mattered. Their pitchers battled but couldn’t match the Pirates’ firepower early or their efficiency late.
