Best in Wins, Ks, ERA -- Seward Nabs Triple Crown: There's a new Triple Crown winner -- Hokies ace Ed Seward powered his way to the top of the National League in wins, strikeouts and ERA. He was the league's best in all three major pitching categories. In his superb year, the 26-year-old hurler chalked up 26 wins, totaled 406 strikeouts and posted a 1.74 ERA. Seward finished the year 26-5. It looks like a Cy Young Award might be in his future, too.
Speaking to the press about the award, "It's quite an honor to win the pitching Triple Crown. It's good to be rewarded for hard word. I just do whatever it takes to stay at the top of my game. I have a strong work ethic and pride myself on being the best. My teammates deserve a lot of credit, too. I didn't do this all by myself."
How good a year did Seward have? One opposing batter put it this way: "We're doing the best we can. But when you've got God on the mound throwing against you, it makes it a little tough."
