This week, the Wenatchee AppleSox swept the awards with infielder Izzy Madariaga (Lewis-Clark State) and right-hander Easton Brooks (Utah Tech) receiving the honors.
Madariaga hit safely in all six games for Wenatchee, including four multi-hit efforts. He batted .462 (12-for-26) with a double, 13 RBI and six runs.
In 12 games this season, Madariaga is batting .400 with a .491 on-base percentage and 1.047 OPS.
