Hart High softball opened their own home field for the first time, after decades of playing at Newhall park. They had a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the field prior to the game. Golden Valley softball spoiled their ceremony with a 3-2 comeback win.
Hart started off strong with a run in the second inning, however they began to fall apart mid-game, giving up a run to Golden Valley in the fourth, and giving up two more in the fifth. Hart got one back in the bottom of the fifth but they were stifled by Golden Valley pitcher Italia Ballestrasse in the sixth and seventh, leading to the Grizzlies winning their first league game of the year.
Grizzly softball is 5-8-1, and with the win over Hart, they are 1-0 in league play. They will play their next game against Canyon at home on Thursday, March 14, and will travel to Castaic to play on Saturday, March 16.
Congratulations to the Golden Valley softball team for their great start in league.
