Ronny Cedeno Named PCL Batter of the Week

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.- After making history on June 25th by recording just the third-ever nine-inning perfect game in the Pacific Coast Leagues's 104-year history, Manny Parra of the Nashville Sounds was today named the league's Pitcher of the Week for the period of June 25-July 1. At the plate, the Iowa Cubs' Ronny Cedeno was the league's top performer, garnering the Batter of the Week honors.

Parra followed his celebrated June 25^th performance against Round Rock with a six-inning showing on June 30^th, also against the Express, when he allowed just two hits and a single run.  On the week, the 24-year old lefty posted a record of 2-and-0 with an ERA of 0.60, striking out 15 batters in 16 innings of work. The Sacramento, California native is currently in his sixth professional season with the Milwaukee Brewers organization and his first at the Triple-A level.

I-Cubs infielder Ronny Cedeno slugged five homers and drove in ten runs for a slugging percentage of 1.069 during his award-winning week.  He also posted a .448 batting average during that stretch, racking up 13 total hits with three doubles in seven contests. A native of Carabobo, Venezuela, the 23-year old Cedeno now holds a season batting average of .387 with nine home runs and 25 RBI.
