The biggest win of the week came courtesy of Norwich No II\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 9-2 success over the Cardiff Redsox.

The Redsox were able to take the WHIP and Wins categories, with the resurgent Jarrod Parker contributing two W\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s to the pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SWAT swept the offensive categories with Paul Goldschmidt, Adrian Beltre and Dexter Fowler leading the way.

Iron Men are third in the league following an 8-4 match-up win over the NE Riverkings.C.J. Wilson, Madison Bumgarner and Max Scherzer helped the Iron Men to win the majority of the pitching categories, with Hisashi Iwakuma\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pitching win being the only one collected by either team\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pitching staffs. Nate McLouth\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s four stolen bases allowed the Riverkings to take that category as Freddie Freeman led the offence with 5 runs scored, 6 RBI and a 1.167 OPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Batteries Essential got the better of Mark George\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Orpington Isotopes 7-5. The two teams split the pitching categories, with Mark\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Isotopes amassing six pitching wins, two thanks to a typically strong week from Adam Wainwright. However, the Batteries took four of the hitting categories to take the match-up victory with Jacoby Ellsbury\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s five stolen-base game against the Phillies proving to be a real difference maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Richie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s RBI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s edged a contest against my Cheddar Chasers 6-5. Ryan Zimmerman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s three longballs bettered the sum total of the Chaser lineup even before Evan Gattis stuck a couple more over the fence. Yu Darvish racked up 20 K\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s for the RBI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s but the Texas Rangers didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help him earn a win or two along the way. That was good news for me as my team\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s three wins \u00e2\u20ac\u201c two of the lucky variety via relievers Fernando Rodney and Jake McGee \u00e2\u20ac\u201c managed to take that category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Finally, The Wright Stuff battled through to earn a 6-6 draw against the Weston-Super Sox despite having seven players on the Disabled List. Five of the six pitching categories went the Wright Stuff\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s way as Mat Latos led the team with 14 K\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. The Super-Sox hit back by taking five of the hitting categories. Miguel Cabrera launched three homers and collected eight RBI, Mike Napoli added the same number of runs batted in and Michael Cuddyer had two round-trippers on his way to a 1.730 OPS.<\/p>\n
