Coke, Sinkbeil, Sisk win weekly awards

July 16, 2007
Offensive Player of the Week
Aaron Sisk, Vero Beach
.357 (10-28), 8 R, 2 2B, 0 3B, 6 HR, 11 RBI, 0 BB, 5 SO, 0 SB, 1.071 SLG
At 5-18, Vero Beach's second half of the season may be heading south, but Sisk has remained a steady force for the Devil Rays all year long. The 28-year-old shortstop hit six of his 11 home runs last week, including a pair of two-blasts games. Sisk hit a solo shot in the seventh and a three-run homer in the eighth to propel Vero Beach to a 6-5 win over Dunedin on July 12, the team's only win in its last seven games.

Pitcher of the Week
Phil Coke, Tampa

1-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 G, 1 GS, 1 CG, 1 SHO, 9.0 IP, 8 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 SO

The FSL had so many quality mound outings this week, the league couldn't name just one Pitcher of the Week. Phil Coke tossed his first career shutout on Saturday, a complete game against St. Lucie in which he struck out five and walked one. The southpaw lowered his ERA from 3.07 to 2.55. Brett Sinkbeil also threw a complete-game shutout, the longest outing of his career. The right-hander allowed just five hits and a walk while fanning four at Fort Myers.
