GAMBLE & SNYDER TOP BATS IN IPA
The 2035 Golden Bats went to two youngsters this year... Sugar Valley's Bobby Gamble was honored as the best hitter in the Ruthlandian Union and Cape Coral's William Snyder collected the Tycobbian trophy... it's the first time they have won the award.

The 22-year-old Gamble batted .324 in 142 games, collecting 177 hits, 28 doubles, 6 triples, 34 homers, 105 RBIs, 125 runs and stole 45 bases for the Rattlers and led them to a second-place finish in a very close race with the powerful Elnora All-Stars... Gamble topped the IPA with 125 runs and the Ruthlandian Union with 45 stolen bases... lifetime the Rattler center fielder is a .307 batter and a 3-time All-Star... Snyder will make 22 in a couple of weeks... he has played in the IPA for three seasons and sports a .326 career average... has made the All-Star team twice and won a Golden Glove... this year Snyder stood out with a .328 BA in 142 games, 209 hits, 33 home runs, 107 runs batted in and scored 118 runs... he tied with North Hills' Adam Thurgood for the IPA lead in hits.

Gamble's biggest competition came from 4-time All-Star and 2-time Gold Glover Scotty Lagrange of the Eastshore Elegants... Lagrange is a 9-year standout that won the RU Golden Bat and Most Valuable Player Award last season... this year he chalked up a .315 BA with 47 roundtrippers, 109 RBIs and scored 117 times in 147 games... third place in the voting went to 35-year-old superstar Loco Dillinger of the Waleska Westerners, who sparked them to the RU South pennant with a .331 average, 36 home runs, 113 RBIs and 85 runs scored... Dillinger is a 9-time All-Star and has 5 Golden Bats to his credit... Dillinger has won it 5 times in the last 8 seasons.

Snyder beat out 3-time All-Star Jarred O'Neal of La Claire and 2-time All-Star Charley Kota of Chicopee for the Tycobbian Golden Bat... O'Neal batted .325 in 146 games, went deep 29 times, drove in 101 runs and scored 94, while Kota put up a .304 mark with 29 homers, 101 RBIs and 113 runs in 149 games.
