| ATHLETE OF THE WEEK (click here for past winners) Our Athlete of the Week this week is Zach Morris of the RPLL North 11-year old all star team. Zach has had an incredible start to the all star season, helping the North 11's to winning their first 3 games and reaching the finals of the winners bracket. In the first game, Zach pitched a solid 3 innings in what turned out to be a rather easy 12-4 victory over Clairemont Mesa. In the second game, he had 2 hits and a key walk in what was a thrilling come-from-behind 8-7 victory that saw the North 11's score 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th to take it. Zach had the walk-off single to seal the victory! In the 3rd game it was a Penasquitos showdown between the North 11's and the South 11's. Zach pitched 5 scoreless innings of 1-hit ball, only allowing a 5th inning bunt single. He also contributed 2 hits and an RBI in a thrilling 2-1 victory. Both teams played extremely well, with the North able to prevail. Tyler Snyder ended the game on an outstanding diving catch of a line drive up the middle. Zach will receive a free PQSports.com T-Shirt and a free sandwich of his choice at the Deli Stop for being selected athlete of the week. Congratulations Zach!
