Titialii and Lim Receive WCL's Moss Adams Weekly Accolades
August 7, 2023 - West Coast League (WCL) News Release
The West Coast League's Moss Adams Player of the Week and Pitcher of the week, as announced by Commissioner Rob Neyer, are Cowlitz Black Bears outfielder Marques Titialii (Arizona Christian) and Portland Pickles left-hander Christian Lim (Stanford).
In six games with Cowlitz last week, Titialii hit three home runs and scored 12 runs. He also drew six walks and stole five bases. Titialii has been a big boost for the playoffs-bound Black Bears since joining the team late last month, clubbing four homers and scoring 17 runs in only 13 games. Last spring the rising senior from Seattle earned All-Golden State Athletic Conference honors after hitting .353 with 18 home runs.
Tuesday against the defending WCL champion Corvallis Knights, Lim threw five scoreless innings, surrendering only one hit and one walk. In 10 outings with Portland this summer, the incoming Stanford freshman has been outstanding, going 2-0 with a 2.22 ERA. In his last two starts, the southpaw has given up only three hits with 10 strikeouts in 10 innings.
Lim and Titiallii could face off in the South Division's championship game later this week, as both Cowlitz and Portland qualified for the West Coast League playoffs, which open Tuesday night with four opening games. Also playing Tuesday in Divisional Series games: Corvallis (vs. Cowlitz) and Ridgefield (vs. Portland) in the South; Bellingham vs. Kelowna, Victoria vs. Wenatchee in the North.
