25 April 2298 - NCA Trophy Goes to Tiller of Fort Hagen
It can be difficult for a young player to step out of the shadows and assert himself in the North Charles Association, but last week Jim Tiller of the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud reminded everyone just why he's here as he threw up numbers that made him an easy selection for Player of the Week. Tiller rocked opposing pitching for a .632 average (12-for-19), 3 home runs and 7 RBIs to come away with the award.
On the season, Tiller is batting .452 with 5 home runs and 16 RBIs. He has played in 15 games.

Travis Phillips demonstrated his potential to be a star in the game last week and today he took home the South Charles Association Player of the Week Award.

This year Phillips has hit at a .385 pace and produced 15 RBIs, 6 home runs and scored 12 runs.
25 April 2298 - Tykeson CA's Best of the Week
So far in his young career, Lannie Tykeson has kept a low profile, but after his performance at the plate last week, he attracted the notice of the rest of the Commonwealth Association in a big way as he was named the Player of the Week today for his efforts.
The 20-year-old Taffington Boathouse Spy Hunters first baseman hit at a torrid .615 clip as he collected 8 hits in 13 at-bats, 3 home runs, 11 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
25 April 2298 - Massachusetts Association Names Fugate Best Batter
18-year-old Notorious Fugate made a few Haymarket Mall headlines during this past week as the rookie shortstop proved he could compete at the plate with his high-school idols. He captured the attention of fans, journalists and Massachusetts Association officials last week and today took home Player of the Week honors for his effort.
He cracked 11 hits in 17 at-bats to put up a .647 average. Fugate collected 1 home run, 4 RBIs and scored 3 runs.
"It's like being on top of a tiny world," Fugate said. "You know, all P's and Q's. It is what it isn't. It's like a light at the end of the turnip."
