| ATHLETE OF THE WEEK (click here for past winners) Brandon Matheson is this week's athlete of the week. Brandon plays for the RPLL Minor Yankees, and he led them to their first victory of the season over the previously undefeated Mets! Brandon pitched a complete game in leading the Yankees to the 9-4 victory, but more impressively he struck out 17 of the possible 18 outs in the game! He was also tough at the plate, adding 3 hits!! His coach, Jack Eaton, adds that "B has been a good leader for our team this year. We've got a lot of young guys and he has been the veteran showing them the ropes. His pitching against the Mets was terrific. 17 strikeouts makes a game go by quickly." There is already a thread noting B's performance in our forums, feel free to add your congratulations to him there! Brandon will win a free T-Shirt from PQ Sports and a sandwich of his choice from the Deli-Stop for being selected Athlete of the week. If you have someone worthy, please email your nomination to chris@pqsports.com . Your athlete can be a senior pitcher or a 5 year-old soccer player that scored his/her first goal...we want to hear about them all! |
