HOLTVILLE, Calif., (KYMA, KECY) - The upstart Holtville Lady Vikings softball team would continue to turn heads, as they defeat the Imperial Tigers in a 13-3 mercy rule finish in 5 innings.

But, Holtville's offense erupted in the next 2 innings, punching in 9 unanswered runs to close the door on the Tigers for good.

With the win, the Lady Vikes remain undefeated at 10-0, with an unblemished Imperial Valley League record of 5-0.
