The Mountain Home High School softball team plated several runs as they were able to sweep a doubleheader over Alma in their conference finale on Tuesday. The mercy rule was needed in the opener, and extra innings were necessary in the second game.
The first game was called after the fifth inning as the Lady Bombers routed the Lady Airedales 15-4. Emma King led Mountain Home by going 3-for-4 and driving in four runs; Libby Dewey was 3-for-4; Laken Anderson went 2-for-4 with three RBIs; Kiley Horne was 2-for-4 with an RBI; Natalie Fleet went 2-for-4; Brooklyn Arms was 2-for-5 with two RBIs; and Daelyn Harper went 1-for-2, drew a walk and drove in a run on a sacrifice fly.
The second game was a high-scoring affair that needed 10 innings to complete, but the Lady Bombers were able to get past Alma 22-20. Harper ended up with two home runs, including this one.
