OTHELLO — A doubleheader sweep of Prosser improved the Othello Huskies to 13-2 this season, defeating the Mustangs by scores of 9-1 and 8-3 on Saturday afternoon.
“Coming into the day we felt pretty confident (that) if we all play together and we’re all connected and we’re clicking, I think we’re pretty unstoppable,” Othello junior Jordan Montemayor said.
The Huskies opened the day by going up 1-0 in the bottom of the first inning on an RBI single by sophomore Quade Gonzalez IV, with the sophomore pushing the lead to 2-0 after scoring during the next at-bat. Following an RBI by senior Xzyan Martinez in the bottom of the third, Montemayor delivered a three-run home run to extend the lead to 6-1.
