FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. Fairfield County varsity softball teams hope to continue a recent trend of deep runs in the state tournament as the playoffs start Tuesday afternoon.

Fairfield Warde has reached the state semifinals two years in a row, but will have to get past conference rival Westhill to do it again.
