Result: Liberty 0, Port Jervis 20
The Port Jervis Raiders lived up to their reputation as an OCIAA Class A powerhouse on Monday, delivering a dominant 20-0 performance against the visiting Liberty Varsity Redhawks. While the Raiders’ offensive explosion stole the headlines, the contest served as a developmental milestone for an inexperienced Liberty squad finding its footing against elite competition.
Port Jervis starter Izzy Maida was the story of the afternoon from the rubber. Maida silenced the Liberty bats, racking up 11 strikeouts over just five innings of work. Her precision and velocity kept the Redhawks off-balance throughout, anchoring a defensive effort that allowed the Raiders to end the game early via the mercy rule.
The Raiders’ offense was equally relentless. Every starter in the lineup reached base at least once, showcasing a deep and disciplined roster that pressured the Redhawks from the first pitch. In a total team effort, 10 different batters crossed the plate, turning the game into a clinic of aggressive base running and timely hitting.
Despite the lopsided score, the Redhawks showed significant heart as they continue a season defined by versatility and “learning on the go.” The team continues to come together even with three players currently holding down and learning new positions on the fly.
On the mound for Liberty, Giuliana Wagner showed immense grit by recording her first-ever varsity complete game. Though the outing was shortened by the run rule, her willingness to battle against one of the league’s most potent lineups provided a valuable learning experience for her.
The Redhawk defense also provided several bright spots that kept the dugout energized. Shortstop Maddy Stewart anchored the infield with a sharp catch of a liner where she doubled off a runner from second, and Daniela Ponce Flores tracking down a very deep fly ball to make a great catch and save extra bases.
The Redhawks will not have much time to dwell on the loss as the schedule remains grueling. Liberty will look to keep their heads held high as they return home to face another formidable opponent, the Sullivan West Bulldogs, tomorrow at 4:30 p.m..

Result: Liberty 16, James I. O’Neill 28
The afternoon began with tears and tributes, but it ended in a whirlwind of offense as the Liberty Varsity Softball team dropped a high-scoring 28-16 decision to the visiting O’Neill Raiders.
Before the opening pitch, the afternoon belonged exclusively to Liberty’s senior class. In a touching pre-game ceremony surrounded by family, friends, and floral bouquets, heartfelt speeches echoed across the diamond. Seniors Aimee Sherwood, Brooke Porter, Arianna Wilson, and Angie Wheeler were celebrated not just for their athletic contributions, but for their profound impact off the field as exemplary role models for the program’s younger players.
Once the game commenced, however, the O’Neill Raiders showed no signs of road weariness after their long bus ride. Coming out with their bats ablaze, the Raiders capitalized on a Redhawk defensive miscue to jump out to a commanding 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning.
Liberty quickly answered with three runs of their own in the bottom of the frame, but the Raiders immediately turned on the jets. O’Neill exploded for ten runs in the second inning and added another six in the top of the third, claiming a resounding 21-3 advantage.
The Raiders’ unrelenting 21-hit offensive barrage was spearheaded by the tandem of Kyrei Cadet and Belle DeSpirito. The duo put on an absolute clinic, finishing a combined 9-for-10 at the plate with a double, a triple, five runs scored, and nine runs driven in.
Facing such a massive deficit, a lesser team might have folded, especially a Liberty squad currently battling injuries, shuffling players into unfamiliar positions, and starting three players who began the season on the bench. Instead, the gritty Redhawks fought back. Displaying excellent plate discipline, sharp base running, and timely hitting, Liberty chipped away at the lead by drawing walks and manufacturing a stunning 13-run counter-attack.
Guiliana Wagner was the undisputed catalyst for the Redhawk offense. Wagner turned in a stellar performance, finishing the day with four hits, including a double, three runs scored, and five runs driven in.
Liberty’s top of the lineup provided a major spark to keep the rally alive. Both Maddy Stewart and Angie Wheeler finished the day with three runs scored and two stolen bases apiece. Amy Szuba turned in a solid performance, going 1-for-3 with a run scored and two runs driven in, while Arianna Wilson also crossed the plate once and drove in two runs of her own. In a total team effort, ten different Liberty players scored at least one run during the contest.
Ultimately, the early deficit proved too large to overcome, and the final score marked Liberty’s fifth straight defeat. Yet, despite the sting of the loss, the day left a remarkably positive imprint on the program. The enduring celebration of the seniors, coupled with the never-say-die attitude displayed by the varsity lineup, ensured it was a good day indeed for Liberty softball.
Saturday, May 16
9:30 a.m.: Boys and Girls Varsity Track & Field vs. Multiple Schools at Warwick Valley High School
11 a.m.: Varsity Softball vs. Cornwall Central at Liberty High School
Result: Liberty 1, Cornwall 24
The formidable Cornwall Dragons, a Class AA powerhouse, brought their high-powered offense to town this afternoon, handing the Liberty Varsity Softball team a tough 24-1 defeat.
If there was any doubt regarding the outcome of the contest, Cornwall erased it immediately. The Dragons’ bats came alive in the opening frames, exploding for 17 runs across the first two innings to secure a commanding, insurmountable lead early on.
Cornwall’s relentless offensive attack produced 23 hits on the day, orchestrated by a balanced lineup where all ten starters finished with at least one hit and one run scored. Eight different hitters recorded at least one run driven in, but it was Alana Hayes who stole the spotlight for the Dragons. Hayes was spectacular at the plate, blasting a home run and a triple, crossing the plate three times, and driving in six runs.
Despite facing the heavily favored Class AA program, the Redhawks refused to let the formidable deficit completely quiet their bats. Giuliana Wagner continued to be a bright spot for the Liberty offense, finishing the day 1-for-2 and scoring the team’s lone run. Arianna Wilson also put together a strong performance at the plate, reaching base twice by drawing a disciplined walk and crushing a booming double to right center field.
The road ahead does not get any easier for the varsity squad. Liberty will look to bounce back quickly as they prepare to face another tough foe, traveling to Chester on Monday for their final road game of the season.
11 a.m.: JV Softball vs. Cornwall Central at Liberty Elementary School
Result: Liberty 4, Cornall 14
The final score line might read 14-4 in favor of Class AA powerhouse Cornwall, but anyone at the field yesterday afternoon knows it doesn’t tell the whole story. Hosting the Dragons at Liberty Elementary School, the Redhawks JV softball team went toe-to-toe with the larger school opponent, trailing just 8-4 heading into the final frame before a late offensive explosion allowed the visitors to pull away.
In a stunning display of offensive grit, the Redhawks actually outhit Cornwall 11-10 on the day. However, timely hitting and a late-game surge ultimately secured the victory for the Dragons.
Cornwall jumped out to an early advantage, utilizing their deep lineup to score three runs in both the second and third innings. Liberty’s defense clamped down over the next two frames to keep the game within reach, but the Dragons struck again in the top of the sixth, plating two more runs to extend their lead to a commanding 8-1.
With only one inning left, many teams would have given up. The Redhawks did the exact opposite. Refusing to go down without a fight, the Liberty offense awoke in the bottom of the seventh. A string of disciplined at-bats and hard-hit balls quickly cut into the deficit, pushing three runs across the plate and narrowing the score to a manageable 8-4.
The spark plug for the Redhawks’ offense was Emma Tacti, who put on a clinic at the plate. Tacti finished the afternoon going 3-for-4, highlighted by a booming triple to left field, and scored twice on the day. Montgomery Allen also had a stellar performance, finishing 2-for-4 with a clutch double and an RBI, while Alex Kelly delivered under pressure by going 1-for-3 and driving in two runs.
The comeback bid, however, was cut short. In the final half-inning, the Dragons reasserted their Class AA pedigree, capitalizing on late opportunities to score six runs, ultimately pulling away to seal the 14-4 win.
Despite the loss, the JV Redhawks can hold their heads high. Standing toe-for-toe with a premier Class AA program is no small feat. In fact, Liberty’s gritty performance and relentless hustle didn’t just impress the local fans at the elementary school—it caught the attention of the opposition. Following the final handshake, the Cornwall coaching staff offered high praise and compliments to the Redhawks for their talent and competitive spirit. Liberty will look to carry this offensive momentum and fighting attitude into their next matchup.
