Sumoza Earns Player of the Week Honors

After a big week leading into the All-Star Break, Spinners outfielder Luis Sumoza was named New York-Penn League Player of the Week for the week beginning Aug. 11. Sumoza, Lowell’s clean-up hitter, was 13-for-23 (.565) with four doubles and three home runs last week, giving him a 1.130 slugging percentage with 10 RBI and eight runs scored, as the Spinners completed a 6-1 week leading into the All-Star Break. He also had four multi-hit games, including three three-hit games for the week, reaching base in eight consecutive plate appearances at one point. Sumoza and the Spinners return to action beginning Thursday for a nine-game road trip. The Spinners currently stand atop the Stedler Division standings, holding a 6.5 game lead over the Oneonta Tigers. Congratulations, Luis!

Spinners Net Pair of All-Stars

The 2008 New York-Penn League All-Star rosters were released August 12 and two of your Lowell Spinners were named to the American League squad. Outfield Mitch Dening and starting pitcher Stolmy Pimentel will represent the Spinners in Troy, N.Y. Aug. 19 representing the AL teams. Dening has been the Spinners' best hitter since opening day, leading the team with a .314 average and 55 hits. Dening has been in the top ten in the league average wise throughout the season. Pimentel, the Spinners 18-year-old ace, has impressed in his state-side debut, recording a 3-2 record with a 3.06 ERA (10th in NY-Penn). Brock Huntzinger would have surely been selected had he not earned a promotion to Low-A Greenville following his utter domination of the league. The All-Star festivities begin Aug. 18 and run through Aug. 20. Congratulations, guys!

All season long the Spinners have been raising money for Lowell Spinners Charities selling raffle tickets with the opportunity to win a 7-day Caribbean Cruise, courtesy of Garavanian Travel and Royal Caribbean. Despite sales that spanned the entire season, as fate would have it the ultimate winner was in attendance Saturday evening when the winning ticket was pulled. When ticket number 9734899 was pulled, a scream emerged from atop the Gator Pit steps when Kim Lirette of Derry, New Hampshire realized the winning ticket was in her hands. Lirette and her family will go on a 7-day Caribbean Cruise, with all the proceeds from the raffle benefiting the Lowell Spinners Charities.
