CBO Players of the Week
August 28 - A red-hot bat made Sleve McDichael the obvious choice for this week's North Charles Association Player of the Week.
The Fort Hagen catcher laid down some numbers that no one else could match, including a .727 average on 8 hits in 11 at-bats, 2 home runs, 6 RBIs, and 4 runs scored. Say no more ... he got the award.
McDichael is currently batting .323 with 19 home runs and 65 RBIs.
This week he took his hitting to another level. That's why Harry Byrd of the Vault 81 Dwellers was named the South Charles Association Player of the Week.
For the week the 32-year-old first baseman batted .500 (12-for-24) with 3 home runs, 10 runs and 16 RBIs.
