 | Wednesday, September 5th, 2007: SL1 Gives out Outstanding Hitter Award, Williamson Gets Prize
A great year at the plate is often interrupted by injuries and slumps that crop up through the long season. Not the case for first baseman Antone Williamson, who nailed down the Sub League 1 Outstanding Hitter Award with his strong consistent output from start to finish.
He put up a .330 average and .427 on-base percentage in 2007 as he totaled 151 hits, 38 doubles, 4 triples, 24 home runs, 107 RBIs and 78 runs scored.
For being named the SL1's top hitter, Williamson will be honored at the SION Baseball Writers awards banquet this weekend. |
 | Tuesday, September 4th, 2007: Young Named SL2 Outstanding Pitcher Award Winner
In 2007, the premier pitcher in the Sub League 2 was a reliever. It does happen, but not often. Norfolk's fine bullpen ace, Tim Young, stood out some much that he was voted the Outstanding Pitcher Award by the Sub League 2.
Overall in the season he notched 40 relief appearances and 25 saves. In the won-lost department the 33-year-old reliever went 5-2 with a 2.08 ERA. Young also had 6 strikeouts in 43.1 innings.
He will receive his best pitcher award this weekend at the annual SBWA meeting. |
