Teams of the Week for July 10/11
There were no nominees in the B Division.
C Division Team of the Week: Sin
"The SIN wrapped up their season by going 10-1 in their last 11 games versus ECSA C-Division teams (including the ECC tournament). It is this late push that drove the SIN to securing the second entrance to the World Series."
“For July 11 I nominate SIN for Team of the week in the C Division:
Fresh off their 2nd place trophy in the ECC the SIN went undefeated in the berth tournament, including a shutout in the championship game, to win a trip to the World Series.”
“I have watched Sin the last few seasons be a top team but every year they come up short. The Sin had 10 players for Saturdays games and played great ball to beat Thunder and win a close one with the Pilots to put them in the winners side of the championship game. So do they fold Sunday morning? heck no! They came focused and ready to play as they sealed a spot for the world series.”
The Pilots and Squadron were also nominated.
D Division Team of the Week: Stealth
“After a 4-14 season the Stealth played with all heart and nothing to lose in the second berth tournament. They some how beat the top two teams to end up on the winners side of the championship game on Sunday. Heading into the last inning they found themselves down by 8, but they had no interest in playing the if game and came back with 12 runs in the top of the inning and held on to win by one. Nobody saw them coming!”
“Stealth - A team that goes 4 and 14 during the season wins the World Series berth tournament - what more can I say. Way to go Stealth. “
No other D Division teams were nominated.
Players of the Week for July 10/11
There were no nominees in the B Division.
C Division Player of the Week: Darrell Hokuf (Sin)
“For July 11 I nominate Darrell Hokuf for player of the week in C Division: Darrell pitched well in every game for the SIN in the berth tournament where SIN went undefeated, including a shutout in the championship game. Darrell has had a great season at the plate, on the mound, and in the dugout for the SIN and we couldn't have made it this far without him.”
Josh Hall and Ross Lambert were also nominated.
D Division Player of the Week: Mike Samples (Stealth)
"Mike hit a 3 run homerun that accounted for the last (3) runs the Stealth scored in their (1) run victory over the Xtrreme win a World Series Berth."
Pam Sager was also nominated.
