LIVERMORE FALLS — It looked like a runaway for the Monmouth Academy softball team. Instead, it took everything the Mustangs had to hang on.

Monmouth let a big lead slip away, but came back to top Spruce Mountain, 11-10, in 10 innings in a Mountain Valley Conference game in Livermore Falls.

Monmouth was up 8-0 after the second inning, but saw the Phoenix score runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth before tying the game with a five-run seventh. Both teams scored twice in the eighth, but the Mustangs pushed across a run in the top of the 10th to go ahead for good.

Abby Flanagan, Haylee Langlois, Abby Ferland and Taylor Truman had doubles for Monmouth (3-1). Mariah Herr pitched the whole game for the win.

Julianne Doiron homered twice for Spruce Mountain (1-5), while Calley Baker and Haley Turcotte also had home runs. Baker also doubled twice.
