June 2008

 

The Wisconsin Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association held their annual Senior All Star Series June 9-10 at Zenoff Park in Stevens Point.  Baraboo High School’s Tiffany Stanek was named as a pitcher and Danielle Vander Schaaf was named as a utility player to the Division 1 Black team.   Players are nominated for this recognition by their head coach and then selected by the Wisconsin Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association.  They were selected for this honor along with 33 other seniors from Division 1 teams across Wisconsin.

 

After attending practice Monday afternoon and being recognized at a banquet Monday night, the two Baraboo seniors played two games on Tuesday against the other two Division 1 teams.  The Black team, on which Stanek and Vander Schaaf played, ended the day with the best record, tying their first game against the White team 5-5 and winning the second game 3-2 against the Red team.

 

The Baraboo seniors represented their school well in the Senior All Star Series.  Both Baraboo players rotated through the outfield in the first game while Stanek pitched and Vander Schaaf played first base in the second.  In that second game, Stanek had her best stuff pitching, striking out 7 of the State’s best hitters while giving up only two hits, with both hits coming in the last inning spoiling her bid at a no-hitter.  Vander Schaaf added most of the offense in that game also, going 2-2 with a double and a single, and scoring 2 of the 3 Black team runs.  Vander Schaaf said "Baraboo was fortunate enough to have two players chosen to participate.  Tiff and I had a lot of fun and learned some things in the process. It was an amazing experience."  Stanek added: "I had an awesome time.  It was incredible to be able to play with some of the best players in the state.  I felt very honored to have been chosen."
