Not surprisingly, the teams
that dominated Northwest
League baseball and softball
also dominated the all-league
selections, announced at the
league playoffs earlier this
week.
Both teams combined to go
33-0 in league play this season,
and both are among the favor-

coming weeks. The two teams
also swept the NWL’s Player of
the Year, Pitcher of the Year and
Coach of the Year awards.
