ONAWAY – At a young age, Marley Szymoniak received a rare opportunity.

In Mount Pleasant, Szymoniak got to serve as a bat girl for Central Michigan University’s softball team.

From that experience alone, her love for the sport began.

“I’ve been dreaming of playing college softball since I was 10 years old,” Szymoniak said.

Since those days, Szymoniak has continued her softball adventure and developed into one of the best players in the Onaway High School program.

But once her high school career ends next spring, the journey won’t be over.

Last Sunday, the Onaway senior made sure of it by committing to the Delta College softball program following a visit on Saturday.

“When I got to Delta, I loved it,” Szymoniak said. "Their coach (Shelly Petoskey), I love her. It felt right.”
