Othello won against Quincy on Tuesday with ten runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Saturday. The Huskies didn't even let the Ephrata Tigers on the board, marking the Huskies' second-straight 10-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Huskies, who have now won eight matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Xzyyvn Martinez made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out eight over four innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with three runs and one double. Those three runs gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, Rjay Garza was incredible, going 1-for-2 with one home run and five RBI. That home run was his first of the season.

Othello pushed their record up to 11-3 with the win, which was their seventh straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. As for Ephrata, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-13.

Othello will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Tigers: the pair will be back at it again later today.
