FALLS VILLAGE — Housatonic Valley Regional High School sent two teams to state tournaments this spring.

Varsity baseball qualified for the Class S tournament as the 21 seed. In the first round the Mountaineers traveled to play 12-seed Haddam-Killingworth High School in Higganum.

The deadlocked game remained scoreless until the final inning when HK won on a walk-off RBI single by Chase Bruno. For Housatonic, Chris Race pitched six and one-third innings and allowed five hits.

Varsity lacrosse qualified for the Class S tournament as the 16 seed. In round one the Mountaineers played 17-seed Wolcott High School. The game, played in Falls Village, was the fourth meeting between the two teams this season. They split the series in the regular season and HVRHS beat Wolcott in the league semifinals.

In the state tournament, Housatonic won handily with a 13-6 decision. The Mountaineers advanced to play top seed Lauralton Hall in Milford. Milford showed why they were the no. 1 team in Class S with a 20-3 victory over HVRHS.
