Parsippany Pride Pounces, Brings Home Softball Title

12U softball team dismantles three straight opponents to capture diamond crown.

The Parsippany Pride was created just two years ago, but they already need a trophy case.

The 12U softball team got off to a rough start this year, but made its presence felt at an end of season tournament, besting its competition to take home a title.

Game one of three consecutive competitions came against Long Valley, which Parsippany dismantled 17-9. After that the Pride faced off against Kinnelon, which beat the young ladies from Parsippany just a week prior. That didn’t matter this time around, when Parsippany’s bats again came alive, winning 13-7.
