David Washington Named New York-Penn League Player Of The Week & Austin Wilson Northwest League POW For Period August 19-25, 2013

New York-Penn League
David Washington, State College
(.385/.529/.808, 7 G, 10-for-26, 5 2B, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 7 R, 7 BB, 6 K, 1 SB, 1 CS) It was quite a week for both Washington and the Spikes. State College has won 10 in a row to claim the NYPL's best record, and the 22-year-old Washington set franchise marks for home runs (10) and RBIs (47) in a single season. A 15th-round pick in 2009, the 6-foot-5 first baseman has driven in 10 runs in his last six games and is batting .348 overall with runners in scoring position. Seven of his 10 hits last week went for extra bases.

Northwest League
Austin Wilson, Everett
(.417/.462/.958, 6 G, 10-for-24, 2 2B, 1 3B, 3 HR, 9 RBI, 2 BB, 5 K) A second-round pick (49th overall) by the Mariners in this year's Draft, Wilson had just three hits in his first 27 pro at-bats back in June. The Stanford product's output has risen steadily ever since, with Wilson hitting .298 in August. Three of his five career home runs came last week, as the 21-year-old outfielder went deep in back-to-back games Monday and Tuesday, homered again on Saturday, and plated at least one run in all six games.
