News and Notes:

NL Player of the Week: Mitsunari Watanabe (Portsmouth) .552 (16-29) 1 HR 2 RBI
SL Player of the Week: Tomas Ramos (Manchester) .538 (14-36) 3 HR 10 RBI

-Tomas Ramos of the Manchester Lancers had a rediculous last two weeks of the season, hitting .452 (33-73) in August, with five homeruns, five doubles and 17 RBI. On the year, Ramos exceeded all expectations for the Lancers, hitting .337 with 23 homeruns, 42 doubles and 88 RBI, while also throwing out 39.3% (22 of 56) would be basestealers, all as a 25 year old rookie.

-Since being reacquired by the Newmarket Mules, Alberto Flores has reached another level. In 48 games, covering 161 AB's for the Mules, Flores hit .311 with 18 homeruns and 43 RBI, while posting a 29/27 BB/K ratio. On the year, between Orono and Newmarket, he hit .288 with a career high 27 homeruns and 73 RBI in just 85 games.

The Division Championship Series have set. In the Northen Division, we have a rematch of last year, where the Newmarket Mules (73-47) will face off against the Bangor Crusaders (67-53). In the Southern Division, the Peabody Tanners (62-58) make their first trip to the postseason to square off against the Exeter Blue Hawks (68-52), also making their first appearance in postseason play.
