PITCH PERFECT
SEASON CAPPER
Cedar Grove sophomore softball
pitcher MIA FAIETA had already
distinguished herself during the past
season, striking out every batter she
faced not once, but twice within nine
days and leading her Lady Panthers to
ultimately win the North 1, Group 1
crown. “I’d never seen anything like that
before,” Cedar Grove head coach Nicole
Velardi said at the time. And then there
was the event of June 10, when Faieta
tossed the first pitch – a fastball, low
and inside – at Yankee Stadium. The
Lady Panthers then joined her on the
field before the Yankees took on their
division rivals from Baltimore.
