Delco Softball Preview: Falasco a power source for Delco Christian

Delco Christian was a 3-14 squad last year, despite Ronnie Marie Falasco’s ability to hit softballs a long way.

A power-hitting catcher with plus defensive skills to boot, Falasco is a player to watch in the county as she begins her third year on varsity.

Molly Harnish will handle pitching duties for the Knights, who are coached by newcomer Matt Hummel.

“We have a young team that will look to build on our experiences from last season in order to take the next step in our progression as a program,” Hummel said. “I’m excited that our core group of players have another year to learn and grow together.

Christian Academy is DC’s soon-to-be rivals in the Bicentennial. For 2016, the Crusaders are playing an independent schedule as a first-year PIAA program before moving to their new league next year.

Senior first baseman Carli Sitkowski and junior catcher Laura Plummer provide plenty of thump in the lineup for returning junior pitcher Carly Ryle.
