Othello takes two from Ephrata, remains undefeated
Othello Huskies Baseball
OTHELLO - So far, Othello softball has been a buzzsaw this season.

In game one against Ephrata, Dominique Martinez stifled the Tiger bats to the tune of a two-hit shutout. Tori Zambrano, Madison Martinez and Lidize Deleon were all 2 for 3 in the rout.
Madison Martinez homered in the first game and followed her stellar performance with a one-hit shutout against the Tigers in the nightcap.
Kirsten Quigley homered for the Huskies in game two.
Mariah Deleon, Lidize Deleon and Hadassi Valdez all doubled.
