STEFANSKI SLAPS MULTITUDE OF RIBBIES, HEADS OXFORD SWEEP

BY SCOTT M BURNSTEIN

OXFORD

There's a famous scene in the 1987 classic movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, when a high school principle informs the title character's mother that he's been absent from school NINE TIMES. Oxford's Mitch Stefanski hasn't missed much school this year, but on Friday he did do something NINE times – as in smack a team season-high NINE RBI for the Wildcats in a dominating doubleheader sweep of Walled Lake Western at home, in non-league baseball action.

Behind Stefanski's prodigious play, Oxford decimated the Warriors in both contests. The opener went to the Wildcats by a score of 18-9 and then STEFANSKI AND CO grabbed the nightcap by breaking off another onslaught of runs to batter their opponents 15-2. When the offensive eruption had concluded, Oxford had accumulated 31 hits and plated 33 runs over the course of the two victories.

To go along with his NINE  GRADE-A CERTIFIED RIBEYE STEAKS, Stefanski, a senior captain, went a combined 5-for-9 from the dish and blasted a pair of two run-homers, one in each game. After brooming Western, the Wildcats up their overall record to 10-4. Starting the season with four straight wins, Oxford stumbled a tad mid-April before kicking back into overdrive in recent weeks.  

Friday's outing by Stefanski was no fluke. Last season as a junior all-conference performer, he hit .435, with 30 RBI and 8 hum dingers. Without a doubt, Stefanski is one of the most dangerous sluggers in the Flint Metro and because of his prowess at the plate the Wildcats – coming off a down campaign in 2009 – are once again legitimate contenders for the league crown.

Mike Kitchner got the win on the bump for Oxford in the first game and Nick Balch picked up the 'W' in game two for second year-skipper Jeff Willis.

GET MEGA-BUSY MY MAIN WILDCAT HOMEBOY, MITCH "THE GODFATHER" STEFANSKI!!!! IVE DECIDED TO NICKNAME STEFANSKI "THE GODFATHER" BECAUSE LUKE WILSON'S CHARACTER IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE FLICKS, "OLD SCHOOL" WAS NAMED MITCH AND HIS BUDS CALLED HIM "THE GODFATHER" AND BECAUSE HE'S "THE DON OFTHE DISH" WHILE OUT THERE TAKING HIS CUTS, MAKING CERTAIN ALMOST ALL OPPOSING PITCHER ARE "SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES" BY GAME'S END.
