Player of the Week Feature

McCourt and Trudden Funeral home beat Moby Drugs 16-15 on a windy, freezing cold April night. There were plenty of hitting stars for M&T but none bigger than rookie Ben D'Amprisi, the OTHG Player of the Week. Ben's go-ahead 2-run homer in the top of the 9th won the game, but the blast was bittersweet. Ben ruptured his achilles heel on the swing and will miss the remainder of the season. M&T and the entire league wish him a speedy recovery.
