    June 30, 2015 Contact: Kyle Knoblauch BATS Academy Fastpitch (Mequon, WI) Phone: (262) 238-1222 Email: [email protected] WISCONSIN SPORTS PRESS RELEASE BATS Academy Fastpitch 16U and 18U teams win 2015 ASA Class “A” State Championships Watertown, WI — Mequon-based BATS Academy’s 16-and-under and 18-and-under girls fastpitch softball teams both captured this year’s American Softball Association (ASA) Class “A” Wisconsin State Titles — the former via a dominating 18- 7 run-rule victory over the Salem-based Wisconsin Lighting and the latter via a gritty, extra-game, extra-innings comeback win over a tough Madison-based Badger Blitz squad. Held last Thursday through Sunday at Brandt-Quirk Park, the event drew all of Wisconsin’s top club teams. “It was an outstanding weekend for our program,” said BATS program leader and 16U head coach Kyle Knoblauch. “I am extremely proud of our players and coaches. It’s great to see all of our hard work pay off. We knew if we played our brand of ball that we would have a great shot at winning the championship in both age divisions.” BATS 16-and-under For the tournament as a whole, the BATS 16U team outscored its opponents 90-to-13 while cruising to an undefeated 7-0 record across both pool and bracket play. The keys to the BATS’ success were relentless offensive production, consistent pitching and solid defense. Over the seven games, the team batted an unheard of .464 and plated an average of 12.9 runs per game. Burlington’s Dani Koenen, a Davenport University commit, was the workhorse in the circle, logging 26 innings, 5- 0 record, and 2.15 ERA with 18 strikeouts.
