Monday, June 20th, 2011: Potent Bat Pays Off, Saccomanno Player of the Week
The marquee name in the Texas League this week is Mark Saccomanno of the Corpus Christi Hooks.

The hot-hitting 31-year-old third baseman put up a .429 average and .500 on-base percentage, piling up 9 hits in 21 at-bats, 3 home runs, 7 RBIs and 5 runs scored.

That kind of hitting got him the TEX Player of the Week honors.

In his season totals Saccomanno has 15 home runs and a .333 batting average.

Sunday, June 19th, 2011: Texas League News: The All-Star Game Rosters Have Been Announced
It is not an easy task -- picking the best players for the annual Midsummer Classic -- the All-Star Game. It takes a lot more than just astronomy and astrology to do justice to the stars. But somehow they have managed to do it again this year.

The rosters for this year's Texas League All-Star Game have been announced.

The manager conceded that not every deserving player is rewarded with a spot on the roster. "Every year," he said, "someone is disappointed to be left out. This year's no different."
Too many good players, not enough roster spots. For fans who enjoy the sport of baseball, that's probably not a bad problem to have.

Monday, June 13th, 2011: Texas League's Best Batter Named
Ty Stutzman must have thought he was dreaming. First he went on an exceptional week-long batting spree, bashing the ball at a .619 clip, then the Midland shortstop finds outs he has been chosen the league's best performer and gets the TEX Player of the Week Award.

He told SION reporters in the postgame, "It was a great week for me. I could see the ball so well. Plus some of the balls seemed to have good eyes, too."

For the week Stutzman batted .619 (13-21) with 2 home runs and 3 RBIs.

So far this year Stutzman has hit .347 with 7 home runs, 30 RBIs and scored 28 runs.
