Claire Calmes (UW-Madison), Mia Johnson (UW-Parkside), Zoey Mills (EFSC), and Marley Teasley (Washington) were the four representatives for Wausau in Madison. The crew took part in the East vs West game, and Teasley was one of eight players to participate in the Home Run Challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Highlights<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marley Teasley was the lone representative from Wausau in the Home Run Challenge and faced an 8-person bracket including four Maddison Nightmare players. Teasley crushed 7 home runs in her first-round battle against Mattison Kwarta (San Diego State) of Grand Forks. Tealey\u2019s 7 was not enough to pass on to the next round, and Kwarta would go on to win the challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the All-Star Game, the East defence by the two Ignite middle infielders was fantastic. Both Calmes and Teasley put on shows at their known positions at second base and shortstop, including a Claire Calmes diving grab in the seventh inning that would limit extra runs from coming across.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Mia Johnson\u2019s second all-star selection and Marley Teasley\u2019s first, both had identical batting lines with a single and an RBI contributing to the 11-10 walk-off win for the East.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Northwoods leader in wins and complete games, Zoey Mills, only allowed one run in her appearance in the game. The All-Star appearance was Mills&#8217; third time pitching in three days following their three-game series against Mankato on Thursday\u2019s DH and Friday.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Coming Up Next<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wausau will travel to Mankato for a doubleheader Monday, the 13th of July, to start a two-day, three-game away series to end the season series against the Habaneros with first pitch for game one on Monday at 5:05 pm. The Ignite will return home to face Grand Forks in a doubleheader on Thursday, the 16th, with first pitch set for 5:05 pm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can stay up to date with the Ignite by visiting ignitesoftball.com and catching all games live on Flo Sports or select games on the Women\u2019s Sports Network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">###<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leveraging the 31-year success of the Northwoods League, the first for-profit Summer Collegiate Baseball League, Northwoods League Softball (NWLS) is the first for-profit Women\u2019s Summer Collegiate Softball League beginning play in the Upper Midwest in the summer of 2024.
