Career

A Native of New Brunswick, New Jersey to Greek-American parents, Lionikas was one of three descendants of Greek immigrants to play in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, being the others Annastasia Batikis and Vickie Panos.

Lionikas went 0-for-4 at the plate in two games for the Grand Rapids Chicks and Peoria Redwings in 1949, playing at second base. She joined the Springfield Sallies in 1950, even though she did not appear in a game in that season.

After that, Lionikas played for a touring development team not involved in league play.

Lionikas died at the age of 54.

gollark: The flash cells are analog devices to some extent and can store a voltage rather than just on/off.
gollark: It's bits per cell, not layers.
gollark: I'm probably missing something. But I don't know what.
gollark: This is annoying, my phone arrived (thanks, Jeff Bezos™) and I've tried to flash TWRP, but while there weren't any errors it seems to... not actually have booted into TWRP, it just loads the stock recovery for some reason.
