The Hamilton Heights softball team had a tough loss on Thursday, falling to Anderson 5-4 in a nine-inning home game.
Both teams scored in the first inning, with Hayley Greene smacking a solo home run for the Huskies. Heights had to wait until the fourth inning to score again. Kelsie Albright and Sydney Massicotte drew back-to-back, bases-loaded walks, sending Alayna Baber and Faith Hittle home.
Greene struck again in the fifth inning, cracking another solo homer into center field to put the Huskies up 4-1. But the Indians tied the game with three runs in the seventh inning, then got an RBI single in the top of the ninth to win the game.
Greene finished the game 2-for-2 at the plate.
The Huskies are 1-3 and next play at Western on Tuesday in a Hoosier Conference game.
