Special 'K'
BY ED WRIGHT OBSERVER Staff Writer
Stacey Klonowski turned the Plymouth High School softball field's batter's box into her own personal launching pad Friday afternoon.
The Wildcats' sophomore shortstop put on a fireworks show, blasting two home runs over the center-field fence and knocking in five runs to lead Plymouth to a 10-1 rout of Livonia Churchill in the season opener for both teams.
"Stacey's definitely making a name for herself," said Plymouth coach Val Canfield. "Overall, the team played to win today and they backed it up with a great performance."
The Wildcats, who outhit Churchill 9-3, scored five in the first, one in the second and four in the third. The Chargers pushed across their lone run in the fourth.
Ally Ciotti earned the win for the Wildcats, limiting the Chargers to five base-runners in five innings. Natalie Hiser suffered the mound setback for Churchill as she struck out five and walked one.
"Ally was very consistent today," said Canfield.
Joining Klonowski on the hit parade were Amy Bondy (2-for-2, RBI), and Jessica Cicirelli, who went 2-for-3 with an RBI double.
