The official statistician of the Can-Am League, PA Sportsticker, has selected Sussex Skyhawks 2B Rob Gandolfo and North Shore Spirit RHP Ryan Bicondoa as the Batter and Pitcher, respectively, for the week of June 25-July 1.
In six games, Gandolfo batted .522 (12-for-23) with one double, five runs scored and eight RBI.

Bicondoa was simply spectacular in his June 28th outing against the Brockton Rox.

Bicondoa is 3-1 on the season with a 2.97 ERA in 36 1/3 innings pitched. He leads the Can-Am League in shutouts with two.
The Lovelock, NV resident is a graduate of Western Kentucky. He was signed as a non drafted free agent by the New York Yankees in May of 2002, where he pitched close to two seasons.
