Cascade Middle made the most of their five hits in their school's first-ever middle school softball game to win 7-5 over visiting Middle Tennessee Christian on a windy Thursday afternoon.

Kelsey Parker scorched the Lady Cougars' right fielder with a triple to put her team up 6-5 in the bottom of the fourth.

Ashlynne Miller hurled a complete game, striking out a pair while issuing but one walk to pick up the 'W'.

MTC was the victim of six defensive miscues but did smack out eight hits.

MTC 11, Cascade 3: Jennifer Molder doubled, singled and walked to account for half of the Lady Champion base knocks but it wouldn't be enough.

Brittney Tosh started on the bump for the Orange and Black. Parker and Molder provided the relief pitching.

Cascade hosts Westwood Middle for another doubleheader on Monday afternoon at 4:30.

I wanted to personally congratulate the girls on their first win. Weather has not permitted a lot of practice time for you, but as the season goes on I think each game will show improvement over the last. Keep working hard and know that the community is proud of you!
