HUMBOLDT — These tie-breaking home runs are becoming something of a habit for Humboldt High’s Emily Ross.
Thursday’s shot, a three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth, erased a 2-1 deficit and paved the way for Humboldt’s 5-3 victory over visiting Burlington. It marked the second time this season that Ross has given Humboldt a late come-from-behind victory with her power.
The Lady Cubs never looked back from there, scoring seven runs in the first inning of Game 2 to complete the sweep with a 12-6 romp.
