DEAN HOLOIEN FANS RECORD 21 BATTERS IN ASA MAJOR FAST PITCH NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP;
BROKEN BOW, CIRCLE TAP, FRED’S INTERIORS AND THE FARM TAVERN ADVANCE
TO SATURAY’S SEMI-FINALS
SOUTH BEND, IN – Records are made to be broken. And pitcher Dean Holoien of
The Farm Tavern broke one here Friday in the ASA Men’s Major Fast Pitch
National Championship.
The hard-throwing Holoien broke the ASA strikeout record for seven innings
by fanning 21 in a 6-2 win over The Bull/Townline of DePere, WI for the
Farm’s second win in this championship and seventh in a row the past two
nationals. The old record for a seven-inning single game was 20 by Chris
Wilson of Stoneman, MA in the 1997 ASA National Championship.
In getting his first win of this national championship, Holoien allowed two
runs and five hits, walking only one. The only non-K out was a
caught-stealing in the second and Matt Denny reaching first on a passed
ball by catcher Todd Twachtmann in the seventh inning.
Besides being effective in the circle, Holoien showed his offensive talents
by going 2-for-3 including a solo homer in the fourth inning. It was his
second homer of the tournament.
Batterymate Twachtmann had a two-run homer in the sixth inning off relief
hurler Jeff Goolagong, who hurled two innings and allowed three runs (two
earned). Goolagong also had a pair of singles and drove in one of his
team’s runs. Starter and losing hurler Sebastian Gervasutti allowed three
runs (two earned), striking out six and walking two.
With the win, The Farm Tavern advances to one of two semi-finals Saturday
(10 a.m.) and will oppose Broken Bow Spirit of Broken Bow, NE, which won
its third consecutive game, topping the Winterset A’s of Winterset,
IA, 4-0, behind the mound tandem of Gerald Muizelaar and Doug Middleton.
Muizelaar got the win and hurled the first five innings, allowing only a
fourth inning single by Cory Christensen in the fourth inning.
Muizelaar (2-0) fanned 11 batters and didn’t allow any free passes.
Middletown, who played for Frontier Casino last year, fanned five in two
innings to finish the game.
Sonny Perkins was the losing pitcher for Winterset (1-1) and allowed seven
hits in his complete-game performance, including a two-run double by Joe
Morales in the second and a two-run homer by Mike Dyer in the fourth inning.
In the other semi-final Saturday morning, Circle Tap of Green Bay, WI,
a 5-0 winner Friday against Lafayette Pub of St. Louis, MI will face
Fred’s Interiors of Quad City, IA, which upset Heflin Builders of Balston
Lake, NY, 4-3, for its second win.
Fred’s and Heflin Builders battled to a 3-3 tie through six innings before
Fred’s scored the winning run in the top of the seventh inning. Daryn
Miller singled, advanced on an infield out and a passed ball before scoring
on Billy Kranz’s RBI double. Kranz had a pair of doubles in four trips to
the plate to drive in a pair of runs.
For Heflin Builders, Jordan Taveras, Tony Gabriel and Bill McDonald each
had two hits apiece. McDonald drove in two of the Heflin runs and Steve
Schucker accounted for the third run with an RBI double. Nick Needham
homered in the third inning to tie the game for Fred’s.
Quentin Matzner got the win for Fred’s, hurling 5 2/3 innings with seven
strikeouts and three wins. Tim Jacobs started for Fred’s and hurled the
first 2 1/3 innings, walking two, allowing three hits and one run (earned).
Losing pitcher was Paul Koert who went the distance and allowed eight hits
and four earned runs. He struck out seven and walked one.
Right-hander Dewey Dyck fanned 16 batters and allowed one hit for Circle
Tap, which was runner-up in last year’s national tourney in Midland, MI.

going the distance. Three of the hits Gibson allowed were homerstwo by
Chris Delarwelle, who was MVP of last year’s national championship, and one
by Kevin Reichardt.
