DUBLIN, Ohio (Ticker) -- Richmond Braves' outfielder Travis Wilson and Toledo Mud Hens lefthander Andy Van Hekken on Monday were named International League Player and Pitcher of the Week. Wilson hit .419 (13-for-31) with five home runs and 12 RBI in seven games last week. A native of New Zealand, Wilson scored eight runs and registered a 1.032 slugging percentage and a .419 on-base percentage. The 25-year-old went 4-for-5 with three doubles, a homer and a career-high six RBI in a 13-1 victory over Norfolk last Monday. Four nights later, Wilson hit a pair of solo homers in a 12-7 triumph at Durham. Van Hekken tossed his second professional shutout, allowing just four hits and three walks with two strikeouts in a 6-0 win at Durham on Wednesday. The 23-yer-old Van Hekken has won each of his three starts since being promoted from Class AA Erie, where he went 4-7 with a 3.83 ERA. He has allowed just five runs -- two earned -- and 15 hits since the promotion. Copyright © 2002 SportsTicker Enterprises, L.P. |
