SANFORD – Due to his spectacular start last Tuesday against the Upper Valley Nighthawks, Trevor LaBonte (York, Maine/Maryland) was recognized as the Week Six NECBL Pitcher of the Week.
LaBonte kept opposition bats off-balance throughout his 7.1 inning start and kept hitters from getting comfortable all evening long. He did not allow a single run and only surrendered two hits and one walk while striking out seven. LaBonte retired the first 17 batters he faced until Jack Zyska grounded a single into left field, breaking up the perfect game and denying the young right-hander of a shot at Mainers history.
After Drew DeMartino(Pittsfield, Mass./Hartford) and Darren Williams(Maysville, Ky./Eastern Kentucky) made the NECBL Honor Roll twice, LaBonte represents the first Moose to win the top weekly prize in 2019.
