Shortstop Jo Diw fires to first baseman Jayna Kenney for the third out of the first inning at Carroll July 6. Diw was named All-District and joined two teammates in being named All-RRC.

Perry’s Jo Diw has been selected to the Class 4A West All-District softball team. Diw, a senior shortstop, was also named to the All-Raccoon River Conference First Team.[wpedon id=”85410″ align=”left”]

Jayette senior pitcher Alyssa Kruger was chosen for the All-RRC Second Team, with fellow senior Grace Stewart placed on the Honorable Mention squad.

Diw batted .426 with 43 total hits, including 11 doubles, a triple and five home runs. She scored 31 times, drove in 22 runs and had an on-base average of .504 while slugging .703 while successfully stealing 13 bases on 15 attempts.

Kruger hit .427 with 23 RBIs and 15 runs scored. She had 13 doubles among her 38 hits and boasted an on-base rate of .523. Forced by circumstances to return to the pitching circle — where she had not been a regular for years — Kruger finished 9-19 with an ERA of 4.42 while striking out 94 batters in tossing 169-1/3 innings of the 193 frames Perry played.

Stewart had 12 hits her senior year, driving in eight runs and stealing three bases while defending left field.

Perry finished 10-22 overall and 1-13 in RRC play. The Jayettes are coached by Tina Lutterman, with Ashley Fricke assisting.
