Sparrows Newest Addition to SBL
Date: Nov 26, 2016
David Odle (Santa Clara) has earned the SBL pitcher of the week honor. Odle hurled nine innings this past week for the OC Surf and only allowed one earned run. Odle was electric against the Pirates going seven innings, while only allowing three hits in a 2-1 pitcher's duel. He also tossed two innings against the Saints and struck out two, while allowing no runs. Odle has been a big reason why the OC Surf finished with the second best record in the Sunset League. Odle has pitched 24 innings and posted a microscopic 1.87 ERA for the season.
Justin Mellano (Santa Ana College) earned the nod as the position player of the week. Mellano finished the week 10-for-22 for the Signal Hill Oilers with five runs scored and one RBI. Mellano has really picked it up during the Oilers' push to the playoffs and will be one of the key cogs for them as they face the OC Surf on Tuesday at 5 p.m. in Game 1 of the SBL seminfinals.
