Contrary to the rather discouraging predictions as to the expected showings of the football and basketball teams, this year's baseball team was predicted by several of the Seminole coaches to finish second in the district, behind Brookville. The reasoning behind this was due to the quality of Liberty's former baseball teams and to the number of old Liberty players at Jefferson Forest. An overall record, including tournament play, of 9 wins and 11 losses doesn't seem too impressive. But, when you notice that five of the losses were by one run, you see that it was not quite as lopsided as it looks. In almost every game, the Cavaliers jumped off to an early lead, held it for a few innings, then could not add any more runs, seeing their lead ultimately vanish and another loss materialize. Following a slow start, characterized by a record of one win and five losses at one point, the Cavaliers won most of their final games, often decisively defeating teams to whom they had lost earlier. This put them in a tie for fourth place with Staunton River. A playoff game ended with the Cavaliers victorious, and Brookville was met in the semifinals. As had happened in an earlier game, the Cavaliers went ahead 1-0 in the opening innings, held it for six innings, then lost it on errors, losing 4-1. Still, a fourth place is nothing to be ashamed of.
