RF AUSTIN "SEMI" HORTON.  Round of Applause!

Horton got a lot of competition for this award from teammate James Bearegard who made 2 great starts.  However, no player was more directly involved with the Admiral's success in this series than Horton.  He set the tone for the series in Game 1 by going 3-3, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2 BB, with 2 Home Runs and garnering the Player of the Game.  In the next 3 games he never had less than 2 hits and at least a Run, in fact in Game 3 Horton started both scoring rallies in the 6th and 7th inning when Washington did it's damage.  Horton's series totals look like this:  9-20 .450, 3 HR, 6 R, 6 RBI, 3 BB, and a 1.400 OPS.  Horton started the series with a fire lit under his ass because he had something to prove for missing last year's postseason. Well Stroh's likes to reward downed soldiers who return back to the battlefield, here's 2 Stroh's buddy, down one for last season.
