Wyatt Sharp drove in a pair of runs to break a 1-1 tie during a six-run sixth inning as the Kalispell A Lakers took game one 6-1 and swept the Mission Valley A Mariners in a Friday doubleheader.

Sharp also sparked a game two comeback, scoring on a passed ball as Kalispell (13-12) scored four runs in the fifth en route to a 5-2 win.

Holden Emerson put the Mariners (4-6) on the board first in game one with an RBI double that scored Landon Shoemake.

Mission Valley’s offense dried up after that thanks to a complete game performance from Lakers pitcher Max Schara. He allowed just three hits and one run while striking out four.

Liam Rech tied the game with a sixth-inning infield single that brought Tait Orme home. Sharp’s double gave Kalispell its first lead of the evening.
