Monday morning, the West Coast League announced its Baker Tilly Player and Pitcher of the Week awards for July 13-19.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Ethan Wood, Port Angeles Lefties
After being named a WCL All-Star, Wood (Saddleback College) continued a terrific season batting .588 (10-for-17) with two doubles, two home runs, eight RBI and seven runs in four games over the weekend. He amassed a 1.670 OPS and drove what proved to be the game-winning run in victories, July 18 and 19 over Edmonton.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK: Vincent De Marco, Wenatchee AppleSox
De Marco (Saint Mary’s) was fantastic in a win at Victoria, July 19. He fired seven shutout innings while facing just two batters over the minimum. He recorded 11 outs on the ground and did not allow a runner past second base as the first-place AppleSox captured the rubber game of the series.
