Cory Mayer singled home AJ Rausch with two out in the bottom of the sixth to break a 3-3 tie and send the Olentangy Liberty baseball team to a 4-3 OCC win over visiting Westerville South Friday in Powell.

The Wildcats saw the Patriots (7-0, 2-0) take the lead thanks to single tallies in the first, second and fifth, but tied things up with a run in the top of the sixth.

Justin Nelson led Liberty from the plate with two of his team’s five hits. Parrish, Mitch Milheim and Mayer had the others.

Beau Foster, who was steady in relief, picked up the win on the mound. He allowed an unearned run on four hits while striking out four in 3.2 innings of action.
