The Short Story: An exciting nail biter and a run rule victory bookend a good day three for the Ephs Softball team in Florida. Highlighted by a one-hitter from senior pitcher
Maya Hartman in the Wellesley, the Ephs bats came alive as well.
Coach's Take: "Our pitching had a really good day. Anytime you give up just one run in two games you're feeling good about the offense being able to secure a win. We look forward to keeping things rolling." - Head Coach
