It was quite the chapter for Liberty’s baseball program over the past three years, but can the Hurricanes keep their dominance above everyone else in District 11 moving forward?

The Hurricanes run in the PIAA 6A tournament came to an end last week with a 4-0 loss to Neshaminy in the opening round.

Neshaminy’s Luke Schweiker and Steven Martin combined to no-hit the Hurricanes to end the season and perhaps one of the golden eras of recent baseball.

Liberty has won the past three District 11 6A titles, sandwiched with two EPC crowns to stuff the trophy case and it’s something that head coach Andy Pitsilos doesn’t take for granted.

“Looking back, we had a team with a lot of grit,” he said. “Many people didn’t think we could win a title this year and the kids took that to heart. This group was special for that exact reason. They wanted to prove they could accomplish what last year’s team did.”

Liberty finished the year 20-6 and have been the gem of District 11 during these past three years, winning 66 of 80 games and making a run to the state finals in 2022.

With a large senior class graduating, it may be tough for Liberty to come back next year with a four-peat, but if there’s any program capable of it, it’s the Hurricanes.

“The message to the team is to do all the little things well,” Pitsilos said. “They will turn into bigger successes and so on. We are going to have one returning starter so how we will do is up in the air. We just have to work hard and hopefully things fall into place for us. It’s going to be difficult. Four teams in our division have a lot back so it will be hard.”
