With one home run after another, Liberty overwhelms Dublin in NCS softball playoff rout

BRENTWOOD – Liberty third baseman Bella Rice hurriedly ran around the infield during the second inning of the North Coast Section Division I playoff game, not quite sure if she’d put enough oomph behind her swing and not totally certain the ball would land over the fence until she was close to second base.

But Bella got her chance to really show off her home run trot in the very next inning, this time belting a pitch over the left field wall with such force that she was certain it was gone the get-go.
