Mohl homers twice, sets record as Pack sweeps Butte

Kynzie Mohl knocked the ball around and out of the park Friday, leading Glacier to a doubleheader sweep of Butte that gave the Wolfpack the No. 1 seed into next week’s softball divisionals.

Mohl went 7-for-8 at the plate on the day, homering in both wins and claiming Glacier’s single-season record with 12. The Pack won by scores of 12-2 and 11-1.

Both games ended early under the 10-run mercy rule; Glacier is 21-2, 12-2 in league and will face winless Missoula Hellgate in the first round of the Western AA tournament Thursday at 1 p.m.

The Pack will play a second divisional game at 5 p.m. Thursday, win or lose.

Butte fell to 7-13, 6-8 in the Western AA.
