Class 5A second-ranked City High hammered six home runs and scored 24 runs in a season-opening doubleheader sweep of Waterloo West on Tuesday in Iowa City.

City High scored 12 first-inning runs on its way to a three-inning 12-0 win in the opener and completed the sweep with a 12-5 win in the nightcap.

Keli Potter hit three home runs in the double header as four different Little Hawks homered.

Ayana Lindsey struck out six in two no-hit innings in game one while Maggie Glen worked a scoreless inning of relief.

Carey Koenig and Potter each homered and drove in three runs in the opener while Brooke Bormann double twice.
