ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
(click here for past winners)


This week PQ Sports is honoring
as athlete of the week Cristian
Armstrong of the RPLL Minor
Athletics.

Cristian Armstrong of the Minors
A's had a great game last
Monday night.  In a game that
didn't finish until 8:40 due extra
innings, Cristian was tough at  the
plate with a two run home-run to
get the A's going.  He also added
a single and a walk.  

His best play might have been
with runners on 1st and 2nd in
the top of the 7th inning and 2
outs, there was a fly ball hit to
center that the center fielder
caught on one hop and threw to
Cristian at second base.  Cristian
then fired a perfect strike to the
catcher for the out at home to
end the inning and keep the
score tied.  The out allowed the
A's to secure the victory with a
bases loaded single  (after
Cristian had walked) in the bottom
of the inning.  

The Minor A's are 4-3 overall on
the season, with a 2-0 start to the
regular season.  Most of their
games have been close.  Three
games have come down to the
last at bat.  The team is really
coming together as they are
hitting and making some
outstanding plays in the field.  It
has been an entertaining season
for them and their fans.

Good luck A's for the rest of the
season, let's keep it going!  Come
on down to Canyonside to check
them out.  Their and the entire
RPLL schedule can be found in
the
forums here at PQSports.com!
