LYNDHURST, NJ – Sophomore infielder,
Delanie Cruz (Chicago, IL) belted her first homerun of 2018 in Game 2 of the Bears Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) softball doubleheader with Felician University Thursday and helped Bloomfield to a split with the Golden Falcons. The Bears moved to 6-10 overall and 6-4 in league play after an, 8-2 loss in Game 1 and a, 12-7 win in the second game of the day.
Felician struck first in the top of the 1

Raylene Uribe (Riverside, Calif) and Cruz came across the plate to score. The Golden Falcons tacked on 5 more runs in Game 1, three of them on Coho (2-7) who gave way to reliever,
Lauren Booth (Maple Shade, NJ) mid-way in the 4

Sarisha Daugherty (Chula Vista, Calif) and
Mya Lopez (Vineland, NJ). Cruz would later cross the plate herself as she and Uribe scored on consecutive wild pitches. The Bloomfield bats were alive and well in Game 2, Jerae Keli'ikoa (Wahiawa, HI) belted a triple to right field that drove in two runs. Cruz's long-ball came in the 5
thinning when she drove a 3-run shot over the centerfield wall and then Daugherty, who went 4-for-5 in the game, capped the Bears scoring with an RBI double down the left field line in the 6
