WHITE RIVER JUNCTION In the first night game under the newly installed lights at Maxfield Sports Complex, the Hartford High softball team came up short against Otter Valley on Tuesday, 14-9.
Otter Valley (1-2) opened a comfortable lead with a five-run second inning and led 10-3 after the top half of the fourth inning. But the Otters had to stave off resilient Hartford (0-2) the rest of the game, starting with a four-run fourth.
Otter Valley led, 11-9, entering the final frame, and the Otters scored three in the seventh inning to provide breathing room to close out the victory. Two of those runs scored via a double by senior Josie Cone.
