Canajoharie had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the six-run drubbing they dealt Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville on Tuesday. The Cougars were the clear victors by a 15-9 margin over the Wolves. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Cougars considering their one-run performance the contest before.
