Week 3 Co-Player of the Week

In week three Ed Bert went off for the Laurelhurst Pirates. In the first game against the Woodstock Unicorns, Ed went 5-9 at the plate with two homeruns and 5 RBIs. He also scored four times as the Pirates won 14-7.

In game two, Ed pitched four innings of no-hit ball, striking out four and walking one. At the plate he was 6-7 with seven RBIs and two homeruns. His second homerun was a walk-off grand slam that put the Pirates over the mercy rule barrier.

It was one of the most dominant performances ever in the CCWA.

Week 2 Player of the Week

Brian Eyer of the Lexington Brewers was the choice for week 2 player of the week. In the first game against the Wiffleball Furies, Brian was 5-6 at the plate with his first homerun of the season and six RBIs. He also scored six runs to lead his team past the Furies.

In game two Brian pitched all five innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits while striking out six. The Brewers won that game 14-4 in the fifth inning.

They are currently trailing the Longview Colt .45's in the standings and need Brian to be a solid pitcher all season. His success on the mound will translate directly to how many games this team wins.

Week 1 Player of the Week

In week one, Matt Jones led his team Jackmove to victory by striking out a league record 15. Jackmove beat division rival the Lexington Brewers in the first game before surrendering the second. Matt also hit a homerun in the first game to secure the win for his team. It was the first homerun of the young CCWA season.

If Jackmove is going to make a run this season, it's gonna start with their team captain. Great job Matt!

Lance Sasser out for the year

The Salem Blazers team captain, Lance Sasser, has informed the league that he will be on the Disabled List for the rest of the season. Lance tore the meniscus in his right knee and needs to have surgery to fix it.
His team picked up Jordan "JB" Briggs to fill their roster.
Below is a picture of Lance supporting his team against the Unicorns.
