Liberty Panthers first baseman Jacari Roberts crushed a pitch to the center-field gap, scoring Jacob Albertson to give the Panthers a 2-1 victory in eight innings against Bryan County on Monday at LCHS.“This is the second time in a week that we have had to go to extra innings to win a game. When we played Savannah Country Day, we ended up in the same situation, but were able to come back and win. Tonight, we didn’t hit the ball as well as we needed to, but even though not putting together a strong night at that plate, we still kept competing and finally had a chance to get something going in the later innings,” Liberty County Panthers coach Tony Glazer said.Bryan grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning when Redskins center fielder Nick Maikles reached base on a dropped third strike and scored after a stolen base and a couple of errors.
