On July 30, Camp TImberlane competed against Camp Algonquin of Rhinelander in a series of All-Star softball games.

The Junior All-Stars took advantage of every opportunity and won their rain-shortened game by a score of 28-0. Billy Straus won the hitting derby by belting out a single, double and his first home run of the season. Other key hits were made by Marshall Berlin and Ron Safrin. Every player on the team got at least two hits and scored at least two runs. Nathan Gould pitched a no hitter and the only Algonquin runner to reach base was on an error.

The Intermediate All-Stars had a tough time of it and had to come from behind to win their game by a score of 5 to 3.

The Senior All-Stars sparked by a 7-run 4th inning went on to breeze by Algonquin by a final of 18 to 0. The scoring started in the first as John Marks' single was followed by a run scoring double by Alan Kline. From there on it was elementary. Pitcher John Marks recorded his second shutout, lowering his ERA to 0.20 in 25 innings. The game’s most notable moment was when Steve Lebau got his first base hit of the year, a single.

In the second All-Star game, the Seniors again shutout Algonquin by a score of 12 to 0. Rob Chapman made amazing fielding gems, while Chris Adler led the hitting parade.

Overall, it was a great day for the softball teams; to put it mildly...
