The Olentangy Liberty baseball team saw an early lead turn into a late deficit, but Mitch Milheim’s two-run single in the seventh made up for it as the Patriots posted a walkoff win over visiting Westerville North Monday in Powell.

The Warriors opened the scoring with a three-run first, but Liberty came back with a four spot in the second to take a one-run lead.

North answered with a run in the fifth to tie things up, then scored two in the seventh to take the lead, but the Patriots (6-5) scored three in the bottom half to seal the deal in dramatic fashion.

Brennan Rowe, who finished 2-for-3 with two runs scored, singled to start the Liberty rally. Corbin Parrish, who knocked in a pair of runs in the win, then doubled to left and Mitchell Okuley was intentionally walked to load the bases with no outs.

The next batter, Carson Comer, was hit by a pitch to force in a run and, after the Warriors got the first out of the inning on a popup to short, Milheim singled to score Parrish and Okuley and send the Patriot fans home happy.

Hunter Voorhees was solid in his six innings of action. The Liberty starter allowed four runs (three earned) on just three hits while striking out eight and walking four.

Brandon Brown picked up the win despite allowing two runs in the seventh.

Orange 10, Westerville South 0

Tyler Brown tossed a one-hit shutout to lead the Pioneers to a league win over the host Wildcats Monday in Westerville.

The offense didn’t need to do much, but erupted for eight second-inning runs to put the game out of reach. Orange (6-3) added two more runs in the fourth to smooth out the scoring summary.

Brown and Matthew Poole were both 2-for-2 at the plate.

Madie Morgan picked up the complete-game win in the circle, allowing two unearned runs on three hits while striking out six.

Central Crossing 3, Olentangy 0

The Comets scored single runs in the third, fourth and fifth to account for the final margin.

Orange 4, Dublin Coffman 1

Alex Nagy struck out 10 and helped her cause with a double at the dish to lead the Pioneers to a non-league win over the Shamrocks Monday in Lewis Center.
