Matt Chapman outscored himself by 0.20 points to earn his second straight Wade Boggs Award. Hunter Goodman was the only other repeat winner from last week, earning his second Hal McRae Award and fourth player of the week award of overall of his career.

Luke Keaschall didn't earn his Ryne Sandberg Award by much -- he finished the week just a tenth of a point ahead of JJ Wetherholt -- but it was enough for him to earn his first career player of the week honors.

Game of the Week: Sam Martin (118.1) vs Stephen April (93.75)

All-time H2H: Stephen leads series 5-4

Back in Week 1, Sam’s squad scored just shy of 57% of the points in his short opening week rematch of Scully Cup V. In his rematch with Stephen, he totaled a nearly-identical 55.7% of the matchup points.

Neither pitching staff was atrocious, but neither stood out this week, either. Sam’s had a slight edge in scoring, mostly due to the volume of an additional 5 innings of work. It was on offense that his Lowlanders took care of business.

With 17 home runs and 29 total extra base hits, compared to just 10 and 15 for Stephen, respectively, his hitters outpaced Stephen’s Orange Team by 20 points in a dominating performance.

Sam's top scorer: Nick Kurtz, 14.10 points (6 games)

Stephen's top scorer: Paul Skenes, 15.45 points (2 starts)

Sean Kennedy (70.80) vs Cory Puffett (127.85)

Cory's top scorer: Logan Webb, 23.95 points (2 starts)

Cory Frontin (103.60) vs Rich Blorstad (106.65)

All-time H2H: Rich leads series 6-1

Cory's top scorer: Shohei Ohtani, 13.50 points (1 start & 3 games)

Rich's top scorer: Jacob Misiorowski, 16.05 points (1 start)
