PORTVILLE, NY – Ending their regular season on a high note, the Portville softball team enter the playoffs fresh off a dominating performance, beating Cattaraugus Little Valley 14-1 in six innings.

While Portville finished the frame with three, they doubled down in the fourth with four before erupting for a mercy-rule-sealing seven runs in the sixth.
