Sheridan HS Softball: If there are two things that the Sheridan High School Softball team enjoys, it’s winning games in come from behind fashion and winning dramatically.

Playing in the home finale yesterday, the Lady Broncs swept a double-header at home vs. Cody, 12-10 and 12-5.

In Game 1, the team was down 10-3, going into the bottom of the 4th inning, then gradually came back, tied the score and then in the bottom of the 7th, Sophomore Emerson Kelley of Big Horn would walk it off with a 2-run home run.

Kelley says this season the team has established their identity as comeback queens, and the players enjoy the role.

In Game 2, Sheridan kept the momentum going, as Kelley hit a 3-run shot and later sophomore Rayna Lollar hit what turned out to be the first grand slam in Lady Bronc history.

The team is now 11-7-1 on the season.
