(Debbie Noda/dnoda@modbee.com) Allison Walljasper, pitcher for Sierra. Sierra High School of Manteca hosted Kimball High School of Tracy, April 19, 2012 and held at Sierra.

Sierra's Walljasper District softball player of year

ON THE DIAMOND: Allie Walljasper batted .482 — one hit shy of .500 — with 20 RBIs, a .557 on-base percentage, an .815 slugging percentage and struck out just four times in 72 regular-season plate appearances. Those numbers alone — compiled in the rugged Valley Oak League — probably were good enough to earn her Player of the Year honors. But the 6-foot-1 junior didn't make her name with her bat. Walljasper is a pitcher. A power pitcher, pure and simple. She was 18-2 during the regular season — her only losses coming to city rival East Union and playoff qualifier Oakdale — with a 0.47 ERA. Opponents batted .088 against her and had an on-base percentage of just .149. In 120ª innings, she struck out 227 and walked just 24 — nearly a 10/1 ratio.
