Congratulations to Pat Venditte for winning the Best Short-Season Reliever award. The switch-pitcher earned 23 saves while accumulating a microscopic ERA of 0.83.

Game 23-Wet and Wild
Baseball finally resumed in Hawaii after a wet week. The Beachboys jumped right into it, tying it up after giving up 2 at the bottom of the first. The last I saw, the Sharks had taken a 6-2 lead in the fifth. So it was nice to see that the Beachboys came back to win. Jeremy Papelbon came into to get the final out with the bases loaded and 3 runs having already scored. The 12-9 win helped pull the Beachboys to within 2 games of the Sharks.
More importantly, it was nice to see Austin Romine back in action, as he hasn't been in a game since he was hit by a pitch on October 21st. Austin caught the entire game and went 0-4 with a walk.
Here's the AFL Notebook for the week.
And finally, congratulations to Tony Franklin and the Trenton Thunder team for winning the MiLBY award for Best AA Team.
