LaBrae won the last time they faced Liberty and things went their way on Wednesday too. The Vikings were the clear victors by a 23-3 margin over the Leopards. The Vikings might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three matchups by seven runs or more this season.
Owen Boone and Austin Rowe made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Boone pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Rowe tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because LaBrae is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 1-2 otherwise. At the plate, Boone got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs, while Rowe went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI and two runs. That home run marked the first that Boone has launched this season.
