It's deep -- it's got a chance -- yes, yes it's gone!



Hello again everyone -- I've received some more highlights and school records from some people that I know most of you will enjoy reading so before I accidentally delete them or lose them or forget about them, I thought I'd get another bulletin out to you tonight.



Here are a few of the e-mails that I have received:



From Phil Adam - former Ashwaubenon Head Coach and winner of more than 400 games in his career and an all-around fantastic guy.



Bob,

During our three year run as state champs, 92-94, we were 25-0, 24-1, 25-0 and the next year we were 22-1 for a 96-2 record. In that span we had a 61 game winning streak.



A neat statistic for Ashwaubenon occurred at the 1994 state championship. We played 28 innings. Our first game was 10 innings, the second was 11 and the third 7. We were tied or behind in 24 of the innings. We won in the bottom of the 10th, the bottom of the 11th and went ahead in the bottom of the sixth in the championship game. It's a tournament that I will never forget.

Keep up the good work.

Phil Adam



From Dave DeGrace - Longtime assistant at Milwaukee Bay View and another all around fantastic guy.

Bob:

The Milwaukee Bay View record for RBIs in a game is 12 by junior catcher Heather Flores in 2003. She had 2 grand slams, a 3-run triple and a sacrifice fly vs. Milwaukee South.

The Redcats also won 111 straight Milwaukee City Conference games from 1993-2002.

Thanks,

Dave



From Greg Lampe - former Head Coach at Oak Creek, a great guy and a guy you can always count on.

Hey Bob - As far as doubles in a season goe, Riley Garcia had 16 for us back in 2000.

Greg



Also from Greg Lampe -- a follow-up e-mail to a question I had for him on an extra inning game I'd heard about and remembered. I thought the game was one of those marathon 19, 20, or 21 inning affairs. Here is Greg's reply.



Bob: That was the 2002 Sectional Semi at South Milwaukee. We beat SM 1-0 in 13 innings. They had beaten us twice during the regular season and were 20-0 going into that game. We won in the bottom of the 13th, We got a base hit to lead off the inning runner moved to 2nd on a wild pitch and scored on a bunt. The pitchers throw went off the glove of the first basemen and hit her in the face while she was worried about her face the ball laid at her feet and our runner scored from 2nd. The pitchers that day were SM Lindsay Jones who had 14 K's and gave up 5 hits. Kristen Fossell was our pitcher she had 9 K's and gave up two hits. What a great game! Then we came back to beat Greenfield in the final 1-0 we scored our 1 and only run in the bottom of the 7th.

Greg



More from my former adversary but great friend Steve Schmikla in McFarland and a guy who won more than 450 games in his career at McFarland.



HI Bob: I was up early taking equipment in and I stopped by our record board hanging in the gym. Here are the battting records we have for season and career:



Hits--Season:Laura Olson 53 in 1999:; Career: Laura Olson 128 (96-99)

Doubles: Laura Olson-16 in 1999; Career:Laura Olson-36 (96-99)

Triples: Jill Schoenike-7 in 1095; Career-Laura Olson-15 (96-99)

Homeruns-Tricia Blair-7 in 1982;Career-Tricia Blair-11 (82-83) *played two years

Batting Average: Tricia Blair-.650 in 1982 ; Career-Tricia Blair (82-83) .576 Laura Olson-.554 (96-99)



Rbi's-Ericka Breiby-38; Career-Laura Olson-105 Jill Schoenike 100 (92-95)

Stolen bases-Tammy McKay-30 (1982); Career-Andrea Carlson-65 (98-01)



All of the above were all-state softball players at least one year. Blair and McKay were first team all state in both basketball and softball their senior years. Looking back I wonder how some of these records are skewed to some extent by the lack of outfield fences in many parks years ago and the perception that pitching was not that dominant years ago especially overall speed and control. What do you think? Steve



From Kevin Colburn at LaCrosse Central and another example of a guy you can count on!



Another stat for you. In 2001 Jackie Juan from La Crosse Central ended the season with 13 triples. Obviously we don't have a home run fence or most of those would have been Home Runs.



She holds the la Crosse Central Records for Hits, AB, Doubles, Triples, RBI's and is 1 short of the HR record held by former UW-Madison Basketball star Kelly Paulus.

Kevin Colburn



I'm waiting to hear from some Mayville people with statistics compiled by former pitcher Mel Benter there. She led her club to the 1999 state title with a 1-0 win over Poynette and fanned 16 good hitters in that game. She accumulated some high numbers as well.



Have a great day!

Keep it Rising!

Bob
