.448 with 64 hits, including 13 doubles, two triples, five home runs, and 29 RBI.
A member of the U.S. National Team, Haber helped lead Team USA to the
2009 Canada Cup Championship and captured the gold medal with Team USA at the KFC World Cup of Softball in Oklahoma City. In addition to her game winning hit in the championship game, she provided critical home runs against Japan and Australia and was a part of the USA Softball Team that captured gold at the 2009 Japan Cup in Sendai City, Japan. In 2010, Haber was nominated for the Lowe's Senior Class Award and was recognized as a top-ten finalist in the competition.
U.S. Olympic Committee honors USA Softball's Alissa Haber, Women's National Team USA Softball July 14, 2010 World Champion outfielder Alissa Haber was voted the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) Female Athlete of the Month for June 2010, based on her record breaking play at the 2010 ISF Women's World Championship in Caracas, Venezuela, the USOC announced today. The USA Softball Women's National Team was also selected as June 2010's Team of the Month for their performances leading to a seventh consecutive World Gold Medal.
"It is a tremendous honor for Alissa and the Women's National Team to be singled out as the top performers in the U.S. Olympic Movement for June 2010," Amateur Softball Association (ASA) Executive Director Ron Radigonda said. "When you look at the list of nominees, you see there was no shortage of outstanding accomplishments for U.S. athletes, and we are incredibly proud that our athletes were recognized as the absolute best of the best. Softball is in a difficult time right now. But these awards, the worldwide participation in the ISF Women's World Championship and the upcoming World Cup of Softball in Oklahoma City, proves that our athletes and our sport are still thriving."
Haber (Newark, Calif.) made her presence known in her first appearance at Worlds, setting several records while helping Team USA to a ninth overall World Championship on July 2. Haber's most impressive performance at Worlds came on June 17 against 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Australia. She went 3-for-3, hitting two doubles, with one run and four RBI.
In total for the month, Haber played seven games, starting all in the outfield. She went 14-for-20 at the plate with one walk for a .700 average (.615 for the event overall). Even excluding the two World Championship games that fell in July, Haber set the record for most RBI in a World Championship, scoring 19 (20 overall) to push her past Jessica Mendoza's (Camarillo, Calif.) 16. She ranks fourth for most career RBI at Worlds, trailing three-time World team member Mendoza by only 10 RBI. Haber is now tied for first for the most doubles in a single Worlds, hitting all seven in June, and is second for most hits with 14 of 16 also coming in June.
Coming in second place in the female category was tennis star Serena Williams (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.). Williams won five straight singles matches in June en route to capturing her fourth Wimbledon title and also captured the doubles title with sister Venus at the French Open.
Judo player Kayla Harrison (Middletown, Ohio), who undefeated in two World Cups in June to win back-to-back gold medals, placed third.
The USA Softball Women's National Team went 8-0 in June, en route to winning the World Championship on July 2 by shutting out 2008 Olympic Champion Japan in Caracas, Venezuela. The USA outscored opponents 84-6 in June (95-6 overall), highlighted by a 7-0, five inning win over host country Venezuela and a 20-0, three inning victory over Botswana. Four June victories were shutouts.
In June, the Americans went 79-for-186 at the plate, averaging .683 as a team. The team hit 18 doubles, including Haber's seven, nine triples, three by Kaitlin Cochran (Yorba Linda, Calif.) and four home runs, three from Jennie Finch (La Mirada, Calif.). USA batters were walked 30 times and even more impressive, struck out only 21 times in 186 at-bats.
Pitchers Finch, Abbott (Salinas, Calif.), Cat Osterman (Houston, Texas) and Women's National Team rookie Eileen Canney (Paradise, Calif.) all went 2-0 for a combined .80 ERA in June. Three struck out 13 batters each while Osterman struck out 21, giving the pitching staff a combined 60 strikeouts. The pitchers only allowed only 16 hits in eight games, including two extra base hits. USA fielders had two errors, compared to the opponents combined 17.
Overall for the Worlds, the 2010 team and team members rank highly. They now rank No. 1 in the history of the World Championships in batting average (.402), runs scored (95), RBI (78), walks (37) and triples (10).
They are third in hits (92), second in doubles (20) and fifth in home runs (5).
The 229 at-bats ranks the 2010 team fourth. Mendoza, Haber and Natasha Watley (Irvine, Calif.) rank 1-2-3 in event batting average with .625,
.615 and .542 respectively. Haber is tied for the most doubles in a single Worlds while Cochran is tied for second in triples (three) and Finch is tied for third in home runs (three). Mendoza, Watley, Cochran and Andrea Duran (Selma, Calif.) were walked five times, tying them for second.
