NEWPORT—It was a valiant effort from the Lady Red softball team Monday evening as they battled back to force extras against the Lady Bulldogs of Claiborne County. Unfortunately they would go on to fall to Claiborne 6-2 in nine innings.

The biggest hit of the home opener came from Lady Red senior Kimberly Ottinger. Ottinger lined a ball over the head of the right fielder, which scored the pinch runner and knotted the game at two. She would slide in with a triple but was left stranded.
