'Here's the windup and the pitch...'

Jake Hennessey from the Mountain Home Royals throws a pitch to Bennett Miller during a whiffle ball contest Saturday evening.

The youth event was a lead-in to this year's Mountain Home High School alumni game that pitted the school's past graduates against the American Legion Class A baseball squad.

Both sides kept the scoring close after six innings before the Royals took a two-run lead in the seventh to win this year's game 13-11. Photo by Brian S. Orban
