PHOENIXVILLE SOFTBALL
The Phoenixville softball team opened its 2008 season with a 3-1 Pioneer Athletic Conference victory over St. Pius X Wednesday afternoon at Manderach Park in Limerick Township, which is St. Pius X’s home venue.
The game was a battle between two strong teams who split their two games a year ago. Both clubs are expected to be strong again this spring.
The Phantoms used two pitchers, sophomore Kelly Foedinger and sophomore Molly Ferguson, both of whom saw action last year. Foedinger pitched five innings and Ferguson the final two frames.
Phoenixville also has two more pitchers, senior Courtney Heming, who is being counted upon for starting shortstop duty, and junior Shannon Kryder, who is up from the junior varsity team.
Coach Joe Bogus plans to use all four hurlers as needed. He said he will not be afraid to substitute one for another one.
The Phantoms played strong defense and also made the most of their four hits as Heming swatted an inside-the-park, two-run home run to left field for the margin of difference in the final outcome.
This is the type of all-around play the Phantoms will need in order to compete in the balanced PAC-10 race.
The ballclub also has strong leadership since Heming is a four-year starter and two-year captain. Plus some of the other players have added to the important leadership role.
