From The Bench: Clancy Sisters Keep East Haven's Bats Swinging

Brooke and Autumn Clancy are using their softball skills to help East Haven reach 2-0. The sisters each had home runs in the game vs Mercy to propel them to victory. When I asked them about playing together they both said that they are each other's biggest fans. Both girls said they are lucky to have a season this year and to be on the same field for Brooke’s senior year.
