Deja Vu

AMERICAN LEAGUE
(Week 15 - Award Winners)

This week in the American League may come up as deja vu for many, and probably for good reason as the winners of Week 6 - Paul Goldschmidt (Fairgrove Tigers) and Justin Verlander (Carolina Eagles) are this week's winners for A.L. Player & A.L. Pitcher of the Week Awards.

Goldschmidt went 11-for-22 (.500) while hitting a pair of HR's, 8 RBI, 6 runs & a steal for the Tigers, while Verlander went 14.2 innings, allowing only 4 ER's on 10 hits, with 21 K's & a walk -- which included a victory. Verlander improved to 7-7 with a 2.40 ERA for the season.
