BB: CC: Centennial Conference

[RSSmith]

Good week for Brian Youchak (.560, 14 RBIs, 3 doubles and 2 home runs) and for Dave Kahn (.579, 12 RBIs, 3 doubles, 1 triple and 2 home runs) and for Jesse Sikorski (.417, 12 RBIs, 3 doubles and 2 home runs) and for Steve Bejsuik (.421, 7 RBIs, 4 home runs) and on and on and on.

What an outstanding week for Blue Jay baseball!  30-3, what an achievement.  Looks like player of the week is owned by hopkins, possibly a new face this week...maybe Bejsuik with his monster offensive numbers???

We get a good week of baseball to end the regular season.  Really interesting non-conference matchups throughout the week against talented area teams (e.g. DeSales, Rowan, Montclair, Shenandoah) will give us some insight into how the Centennial Conference stacks up in the region.  Then on Saturday, #1 and #2 will slug it out in Baltimore and Washington and Muhlenberg will go head-to-head for the final playoff spot.  The weather looks good for this time of year.  I don't know what else to ask for.

The next winning Power Ball numbers?

Not so sure about a slugfest b/w 1 and 2 but the Wash v Muhl DH should be pretty tense.
Congrats to Swat for 1st CC playoff appearance.  Coach of the Year vote for Coach Exeter.

Good week for Brian Youchak (.560, 14 RBIs, 3 doubles and 2 home runs) and for Dave Kahn (.579, 12 RBIs, 3 doubles, 1 triple and 2 home runs) and for Jesse Sikorski (.417, 12 RBIs, 3 doubles and 2 home runs) and for Steve Bejsuik (.421, 7 RBIs, 4 home runs) and on and on and on.

Now explain to me why these fine Hopkins boys did not earn Player of the Week honors?
Youchak "the little guy": 7rbi's in one game
Bejsuik "big dawg": 3 homers one game
Kahn "popcorn man": putting up long ball numbers like always
Sikorski "j-sicko": breaking out the bat big time boosting slugging %

Goodluck to opposing starters, you're going to need it because these guys show no mercy.

Hammer,

agreed except 3B has to be Backus and SS should be Normoyle, if Wash beats Mules for 4th place

[bulldozer]

What about Hopkins catcher John Swarr?  He's having another monster year too!

Agree on Backus. (I also missed Galletta of Hav at .402 5HR who has to be mentioned.)  I will stay with Fisher and Rolewicz but agree Normoyle and Swarr deserving of recognition as well. Second team? Many fine players in the CC to choose from.  Coaches and AD's should be proud.
Also add Stan Exeter as Coach of the Year.  (Easiest choice this year.)

Congratulations to the new #1 team in the nation...JHU

Indeed!

Let's see how the boys handle the bullseye on their chest.

Go Hop!
