Players of the Month:
Delaware Conference:

Batter of the Month: John Bean, Milton Brewers
Bean June's Best Bat Choice: When John Bean stepped up to the plate in June, he did it with confidence and today he was honored with the Delaware Conference Batter of the Month award. The young Milton first baseman posted a .381 batting average with 6 home runs, 26 RBIs and scored 18 runs. Bean also worked pitchers for 8 walks to post a .429 on-base percentage. In this current campaign Bean is hitting at a .323 clip with 15 home runs and 54 RBIs.

Pitcher of the Month: Rob Evans, Seaford Blue Jays
Best Starter Chosen by Delaware Conference: This month the Delaware Conference spotlight fell on pitcher Rob Evans of the Seaford Blue Jays. What a June he had! A fine 4-1 won-lost record, 1.59 ERA, 5 starts, 34 innings pitched and 25 strikeouts -- good enough to get him the DDIV Pitcher of the Month. In pitching stats this season Evans has rung up 6 wins and 5 losses in 15 games. He has an ERA of 3.56 and has fanned 52 batters in 86 innings.

Rookie of the Month: Antonio Maldonado, Dover Generals
DE Conf Selects Rookie Star of the Month: António Maldonado's eyes seem to light up whenever he sees the baseball. The young Dover third baseman has been hitting everything in sight for the better part of a month. In June he was voted the Rookie of the Month Award. During the month he hit .369 with 5 doubles, no triples and 1 home run. Maldonado also scored 9 times and drove in 9 runs. On the season, Maldonado is batting .329 with 1 home run and 15 RBIs. He has played in 60 games.

MarVa Conference:

Batter of the Month: Steve Williams, Annapolis Admirals
Williams Captures MVDIV Batter of Month Award: Steve Williams is in the final year of his contract with Annapolis and today added a timely piece of hardware to his trophy case. Playing in 23 games in June the 28-year-old left fielder ripped MarVa Conference pitchers for a .365 batting average, nabbing him the Batter of the Month award. He also rang up 9 home runs, 28 RBIs and 21 runs scored. If Williams keeps up this pace, he'll cost someone a lot of money. This season Williams is hitting at a .340 pace with 16 home runs, 57 RBIs and has scored 51 times.

Pitcher of the Month: Miguel Contreras, Norfolk Cavaliers
MV Conf Selects Contreras June's Top Starter: Miguel Contreras's been around the league long enough to appreciate the honor he received today. After going 5-0 in June, the 30-year-old Norfolk hurler has been named MarVa Conference Pitcher of the Month. He fanned 34 in 40 innings, logged an ERA of 1.13 and allowed opponents to hit .167 against him. In 16 starts this year Contreras has fashioned a 10-1 record and a 2.55 ERA.

Rookie of the Month: Pete Martin, Chesapeake Blue Crabs
MarVa Conference Names Rookie of Month: Pete Martin earned June's Rookie of the Month honors in the MarVa Conference for last month's performance. The boyish Chesapeake shortstop might be wet behind the ears, but he's proving that he has what it takes to play at this level. Martin hit .316 with 3 home runs, 13 RBIs and 10 runs scored this past month on his way to winning the award. This season Martin is batting .285 with 5 home runs.

The Dover Generals have started to pull away from the Lewes Braves, as the Braves have gone through some injury trouble. Only being out 4 games, with one of the their better pitches out 2-3 more months, it makes the trade of Carlos Mateo even more mindblowing. Have they thrown in the towel? The Sixteens dropped to 6 games out, but I am not sure their season is over just yet... The Clippers cut down the New Castle Colonials lead with the surprising Newark Millers on their tail! This divsion looks like it might turn into being a 4 team race. The Iron Pigs are slumping and they are starting to put more and more weight on Marcos Estradas shoulders. This division is up for grabs.

Annapolis still holds a lead, but they lost a game as the Tourist made up some ground. I still the the Admirals are the team to beat in the Eastern Division, but I guess you can't count the Tourists out they do have a solid offense. Its really going to come down to starting pitching and whose can pitch better down stretch... The Cavaliers gained 10 games in June as the rest of the division struggled. The Ports were the only team, besides the Cav's, to have a winning June.

Norfolk Recap

Three months in and we have 3 20-win months. Pretty impressive, this might be the best Cavaliers team we have put together.
April: 21-4
May: 21-7
June: 20-5

Kent Davis hit .407, Jeff Lewis .374 and Ed Duke .384 in June. Derek Campbell warmed up and hit 7 HR's and King Brock added 5. Brock drove in 20, and Jeff Lewis scored 24 times. Pretty solid offensive numbers.

Our starters all had solid months with no one losing more than 1 game, Contreras went 5-0 and Matos 4-0. And only Ron Reilly posted an ERA over 2.55, at 4.30. Elmer Hawkins was lights out in the pen this month going 10.1 innings, allowing 7 hits and 1 run, and Dalton Whitaker picked up 9 saves and posted a 1.54 ERA in 11.2 innings, he struck out 18.

Mauro Candelaria will be back soon and when that happens I will be sending Derek Carter back down to AAA. The way the bullpen has been used, it doesn't make sense to carry 12 pitches. We will go with 11 for the time being and see what happens. Bryan O'Neill and Mike Ford will remain on the Roster as reserves.

I was in talks with the Generals to see if they would be willing to split with Claude Bond. I offered Derek Campbell, but they couldn't afford Campbell. I may still talk to Dover about Bond, but they will probably won't someone I am not willing to give up. Campbell showed off his power in June, and since he is under conrtol for another year its not inevitable that we move him, it would just be nice to try to get as much as possible for him.

We have a 23 game lead and our rotation is on fire. Its safe to assume as long as we play half-way decent ball and injury free we should be seeing ourselves in the playoffs. I mean if we don't win this division it would be a failure of epic proportions. Magic number is 62 with 84 games left to play.

Around the Minros:
Yokohama (AAA) 37-37 8 GB
Vaughn Griffith is ready for the show, we just don't have a roster slot for him. 8-4 3.68

New Orleans (AA) 41-37 6 GB
Ben Sanford continues to threw the ball well posting 18 SV and a 2.45 ERA
Paul Brown is 7-5 with a 4.19 ERA
Pete Alexander is hitting .305-7-36 back-up catcher of the future?

San Jose (A) 47-31 2 GB
Francisco Gallegos might be moving up soon Hittin g.337-11-44
Chris Brownell is 5-1 2.32 in 13 Starts
