Every week we will give our MVP of the week award to a player or a team who each of us believe deserves the award. They would receive the award for the numbers they put up, or delivering in the clutch, or even a top play.
My MVP of the Week is Adrian Gonzalez. He has been on a tear for the Red Sox even though the Red Sox are on a slow start. Adrian Gonzalez so far is batting .325 with 9 HR and 35 RBI this season. This week alone, Gonzalez is hitting .406 with 6 HR and 12 RBI. If Gonzalez keeps hitting the way he is now, the Red Sox should have no problem winning the division.

Honorable mention: Spackenkill Baseball clinched the Divisional title for the first time since 2007. Spackenkill is a young team with 3 starting freshmen (they are starting pitchers as well) and 3 sophomores that all contribute day in and day out. So far they have put up a record of 12-6 (12-2 in the league) with one more game to go. One of the two top moments of the year for Spackenkill is when Freshmen Blake Kawalski Homered on his FIRST VARSITY PITCH that he saw. So far Blake is hitting .279 with 27 RBI. The top moment so far for Spackenkill is pitcher Quinn Horvath. Quinn threw the first no-hitter in Spackenill's history on May 5th. Quinn has a pitching record of 4-1 with an ERA around 2.5. Spackenkill will likely get the #1 seed in sectionals. Since they won the division title, they qualified a spot in the MHAL Tournament. They will take on the winner of division 4 on Thursday 05/19. If they win the game on the 19th, then on Monday 05/23, they will play in the MHAL Championship trying to capture the first MHAL title in Baseball.
Spacken What? Kill!
