Hitter of the Day
Both our awards are from the same Valley League team, same college, and are repeats. I’m not sure that’s happened before! Anyway, the hitter of the day is Staunton’s Cole Swiger, from Bloomsburg! Cole went 4-5, all singles, and stole a base. He’s 18-40 so far this season, with a slash line of 450/500/600.
