Cougar Nine Gets Jump First, Limits Raider Comeback, 7-5
An early scoring jump turned out to be necessary for the Cranford baseball Cougars when they faced the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Raiders in Scotch Plains on May 14. The Cougars, who defeated the Raiders, 4-0, at Memorial Field in Cranford two days earlier, scored six runs in the first two innings but had to limit a late chipping away to earn a 7-5 victory in the second meeting.
