Ramrods have a good week going 4-2 and extending the divisional lead to 4 games of the Rollers of Atlantic City.

Monday the 25th of May's game was very exciting with the Ramrods leading at home 3-2 entering the 9th inning. With Roy Oswalt on the mound, he got the first out and was replaced by LHP Terry Foster... Worcester Pinch Hitter Josh Phelps drove in Bob Oliver (who had doubled with one out) with a Line Drive single that hit an exit velocity of 104.4 to left field. A throw to the plate by LF Alan Wiggins was a tad late and Oliver was safe on the slide, tying the game...
In the bottom of the ninth Riders brought in pitcher Steve Rachunok to face the Ramrods... Red McKee took a 3 and 1 pitch for a walk, which brought up Andy Tracy who got the start at first base... Tracy took a fast ball for strike one, on the second pitch Rachunok hung a curve ball which Tracy deposited 450ft away to center field for a walk off two run homer... Of course the crowd went crazy... Downtown Huntington was out of control after the game...

PLAYER OF THE WEEK:

It's always a thrill for fans of the team and students of the game alike when a superstar in the making shows what he's got. Al Ferrara, the Ocean City Islanders 21-year-old right fielder, put himself in the spotlight last week making him the clear-cut choice for Chadwick League Player of the Week honors. He ripped 12 hits in 20 at-bats, compiling a .600 average with 1 home run and 4 RBIs. Ferrara is swinging at a .345 pace on the year with 7 home runs, 21 RBIs and 16 runs scored. He has played in 26 games.

So far in his young career, John Olerud has kept a low profile, but after his performance at the plate last week, he attracted the notice of the rest of the Doubleday League in a big way as he was named the Player of the Week today for his efforts. The 18-year-old Cape Coral Starfish first baseman hit at a torrid .500 clip as he collected 13 hits in 26 at-bats, 2 home runs, 6 RBIs and 6 runs scored. This year Olerud is batting .328 with 8 home runs and 27 RBIs.
