EAST VALLEY — Lady Tiger softball lost both ends of a softball doubleheader Saturday at East Valley, 10-0 and 13-6.

EV pitcher Presley Weatherley held Ephrata to one hit over 4-1/2 innings in the opener, a 10-run rule win for the Yakima Valley squad.

Freshman Cami Martinez produced the Tigers' lone hit and stole two bases. Haley Trusty took the loss, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits.

Game Two was closer. Ephrata only trailed 2-0 entering the fourth inning when Martinez reached first on a dropped third strike and Sidney Chornuk followed with a bunt single. Ella Piturachsatit's ground-out scored Martinez, and Bailey Falconer tied it at 2-2 with a sacrifice fly to center that brought Chornuk home.

But East Valley surged in the bottom of the fourth. Sophiya Castaneda's three-run homer — her third dinger of the day — capped a nine-run inning that boosted the Red Devils' lead to 11-2.

In the top of the fifth, Ephrata responded with four runs of their own. Brynnle Leonard swatted to 2-RBI single to right, scoring Haley Trusty and Hannah Hull. Riley Trusty scored on a passed ball, and Piturachsatit followed with a base hit to right that drove in Chornuk, narrowing the Red Devils' lead to 11-6.

East Valley then added two insurance runs in the bottom of the inning to close out the scoring. The hosts finished with a dozen hits in the game.

Chornuk started and pitched three innings while Haley Trusty threw the final three in relief.

Ephrata falls to 1-6 overall and 0-2 in CWAC play. The Lady Tigers return home Saturday to host Selah in a doubleheader starting at 11 a.m.
