Homer softball competes at Rally in the Valley

A two-out rally lifted the Homer Mariners to a 5-4 walkoff victory in four innings over West Valley Thursday at the Rally in the Valley tournament at Redington High School.

Trailing 4-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Homer put two runners on with two outs and Kaylin Anderson blasted an inside-the-park home run to tie the game at 4-all.

After a single by Grace Godfrey, Annalynn Brown doubled to right field to bring home the game-ending run.

Brown pitched all four innings for Homer, giving up four runs — one earned — on six hits while walking six and striking out four.

On offense, Godfrey was 3 for 3 with two runs, Brown was 2 for 3 with two RBIs and Anderson had three RBIs.

Results of Homer’s second game against Colony were not available as the Clarion went to press.
