(WEEK 2 - Award Winners)
For Player of the Week, one player made it a easy choice -- Garrett Jones of the Urbana Locomotives, just tore the leather off the ball, setting a single-game BoS Record of 9 RBI's in a single-game, while collecting 5 hits (tied for 2nd most) & knocking out 3 HR's in the same game (one of them, being a Grand Slam). He batted .476 against the Hannibal Cavemen (10-for-21) in the series, a total of 4 HR's, 11 RBI, 7 runs with a 1.095 slugging percentage & 1.595 OPS! Up to this point, there has been no other amazing display of power on this level. Jones is our National League Player of the Week.
His 3 HR's in a game, also ties a league-record (Chris Johnson, the previous week).
Lots of great starting pitching in the National League, that's why we had to go with a reliever that stuck out, for the N.L. Pitcher of the Week, and that honor goes to Glen Perkins of the Portland Microbrewers. Perkins collected 4 saves in their series 5-0 sweep of the Seattle Rainiers. Perkins also had 5 K's, while allowing no walks, runs & 2 hits in 3.2 innings (0.545 WHIP). Two of his teammates Bartolo Colon & Hisashi Iwakuma had excellent starts this week, while Marco Scutaro was the Brew Crew's offensive star.
