Everyone knows about Danvers' fantastic shortstop, Ashley Burnham, who is headed for Division 1 James Madison next season. But Falcons coach Tara Petrocelli has also been impressed with freshman Alicia Dean, who was 2-for-3 in an 8-1 win over Salem this week.
"Alicia battles pitchers," said Petrocelli. "She'll really work the count, taking it from 0-2 to 3-2 sometimes. She had a 12-pitch at-bat against Beverly. She has confidence and a great work ethic for a young player."
