By Bill Breshears billb@bolivarmonews.com Bolivar Herald-Free Press
The Bolivar softball Lady Liberators opened the 2011 season with an 8-0 win over the defending Missouri Class 2 state champion Warsaw Lady Wildcats Tuesday at Warsaw.
Taylor Sechler led the Bolivar offense with three hits, including a double, and two RBI. Carlie Proctor added two hits and two RBI. Anna Pitts had two hits Sarah Magaña doubled.
Tristia Patton pitched the win. She also helped the offense with a double and one RBI.
“We hit and pitched the ball well,” Bolivar coach Jay Halbrook said. “Patton allowed only one hit.
“Our defense was OK, but we plan to clean some things up. We kept putting pressure on Warsaw and eventually scored three runs in the sixth and seventh innings for the 8-0 final. Warsaw is a very good team and the defending state champion. We feel good about the outcome tonight. We are proud of the way we have started.”
The Lady Liberators also took on Ozark Thursday, Aug. 25. They will host Strafford at 5 p.m. Monday, travel to Willard Tuesday and host Reeds Spring at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 1.

Bolivar HS Softball Overview 2011
Welcome to Bolivar Softball 2011. We are excited to continue the tradition of Champions, on and off the field.
Liberator Softball is coming off a 19-8 season in ‘10. We finished 2nd in the Small School Division of the COC with a record of 4-1. Liberators celebrated numerous awards from the field and the classroom.
We will miss the leadership of last year’s seniors: Addie Murders (Missouri Valley College, 1st Team All Ozarks and All District, 2nd Team COC and Southwest Region), Brittany Wood and Sarah Randles.
Taylor Hedges (2nd Team All District), Sarah Magana (1st Team All COC (Unanimous), 1st Team All District, 1st Team All Southwest Region and 2nd Team Academic All State), and Summer Rash (1st Team Academic All State and 2nd Team All District) are set to compete in their last season of High School softball.
Returning starters, Tristia Patton, Jr. (2nd Team All COC, 1st Team All District, and 2nd Team All Southwest Region), Jaelyn Halbrook, Jr. (1st Team All COC (Unanimous), 1st Team All District, 1st Team All Southwest Region and 1st Team Academic All State), Sammy Jacobson, Jr. (2nd Team All District and 2nd Team Academic All State), Anna Pitts, Jr., Carlie Proctor, Jr., Abby Martin, Jr., Mackenzie Hitchcock, Jr., Haley Rauch, Fr., Michaela Rudy, Fr., Taylor Sechler, Fr., look to provide a solid defensive group and each figure to add to an exciting season.
Liberator Softball returns 13 letter winners and looks to add a quality group of Freshman.
We feel we will get better as the season progresses and look to be playing at our best in October and look to continue the tradition of winning Liberator softball.
