Ephrata took care of business in their home opener on Friday (and then some). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Cocalico Eagles a 15-0 shutout. That's more bragging rights for Ephrata, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Cocalico's batters probably weren't too happy with Ellie Meier, who pitched a no hitter and racked up eight Ks (she gave up no walks).
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Maddie Russell, who went 3-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, and two runs. Another player making a difference was Kylee Dunlap, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with three runs and a triple.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Ephrata will challenge Cedar Crest at 4:15 p.m. on Monday. As for Cocalico, they will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Octorara Area at 4:15 p.m. on April 3rd.
