The Blue Eagles pushed past Freedom in Monday’s quarterfinals 3-1, while Liberty stayed on their quest to defend their league crown from a year ago, as they topped Parkland 6-2.

Noah Gyauch-Quirk led the Hurricanes on the mound with five scoreless innings and six strikeouts. Braylen Gonzalez knocked in two RBI for Liberty, who advanced to play top-seeded Pocono Mountain East in Tuesday’s semis at DeSales.
