Benjamin Pelletier… le joueur de la semaine de “Canadian Baseball Network”!

Revue de presse

Pat Borders knows a line drive hitter when he sees one.

After all, he hit in the same batting order as gap-to-gap hitters John Olerud, Paul Molitor and Robbie Alomar.

It is a long way to go from the class-A New York Penn League where plaques of Molitor and Alomar are displayed. Now, managing the Williamsport Crosscutters, Borders enjoyed the line drive show

Ben Pelletier (Varennes, Que.) had an 11-hit week for Williamsport to lead all Canuck hitters. With 11 hits he earned the Canadian Baseball Network minor league Player of the Week for Week XIII.
