In fast pitch action the 6-0 shut out by Liberty over the Roughriders is no reason for Roughrider fans to panic. Liberty is a member of the talented King Co Class 3A league. It’s a league always loaded with future D1 and D2 players if not an occasional PAC 12 player. Last year Liberty went 25-4 and won the King Co league, going 13-1. Liberty made it to the quarterfinals of the 3A state tournament. This is a young Liberty team who had lost their first 4 games but the fact that the Roughriders pitching, and defense held Liberty to 6 runs is something to hang their hats on.

The Roughriders will be 2 touchdown favorites at home today against Bremerton with a 4:15 start.

The Sequim fast pitch team will host Bainbridge today at 4:15.
