IN SHORT
The Cougar infield played flawless defensively, led by its long-stretching first baseman Kelly Winans. Heads-up base running helped the Cougars capture runs on wild pitches, which ultimately put them on top of a hard-hitting Parsippany Hills team.

COUGAR OF THE GAME
Cara Delsandro—The catcher went 1-for-3 with a double.

With the game tied at 2 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Delsandro hit a clutch double down the third base line to move Amanda Fazio over to third. Fazio eventually scored on a wild pitch. Delsandro then scored the Cougars’ final run on another wild pitch.
