Gentlemen,

The following players are the League MVP's for the 2008 season:

League Most Valuable Pitcher:

Boo Morrow - Morrow continued his streak of two complete years with the Tennessee Tornado without a loss in the League.  He had only one game pitched where he gave up two or more runs.  He completed the year with a W/L of 5-0, a 2.16 ERA, 33.1 IP, and held his opponents to a .175 BA.

Congratulations also go to Ken Graveline as a Pitcher for the Carolina Thunder with a W/L of 6-0, a 2.50 ERA, 36.0 IP, who held his opponents to a .250 BA.

League Most Valuable Player:

Bradley Agustin - Agustin was an anchor as Shortstop for the Morganton Aggies.  He led the Aggies into the Championship Tournament with a .390 BA, 43 Runs, 57 Hits including 11 DBL and 6 HR, a League high 41 RBIs.  He had a .589 SLG%, 9 SO, .453 OB%, and was 4-4 on SB-ATT.

Congratulations to Anthony Sosnoskie with a .368 BA as a Catcher for the Tournament Runner-Up Lake Norman Copperheads who had 7 HR and a .653 SLG%.

Contratulations also to RJ Schenk with a .359 BA as a First Baseman for the League Champions Tennessee Tornado who had 3 TPL, 5 HR, and a .586 SLG%.

The 2008 Championship Tournament had to be the best we have seen since the beginning of the League.  It is impossible to have seen the tournament and not congratulate the Spartanburg Blue Eagles on their 1 run, 13 inning loss to the Tennessee Tornado, or their 1-run loss to the 2nd seeded Morganton Aggies that eliminated them from the tournament.  They played with a lot of heart and their team will be remembered for their play in the tournament.

Contratulations to the Tennessee Tornado for their first League Championship, to the Lake Norman Copperheads for finishing as the League Runner-Up, to the Morganton Aggies for their third straight year as either the 1st or 2nd seed going into the tournament, and to the Spartanburg Blue Eagles for making the tournament in their first year with the League.
