Ballhawk League : Week 6

Shawn B captures the top honors of week 6 with a 25 ball performance.

In other news, Nick Pelescak’s five week reign as the leader has ended with Erik Jabs taking a very slim 3 ball lead into week seven.  Right behind the two Pittsburgh ballhawks is Zack Hample, who figures to make up some ground as he attends a three game series in Atlanta.

Winner Shawn B shows off one of his snags and writes “the elusive sticker ball – the only ballhawks documented to have one are (Zack) Hample and I.   I’ve got no clue what the sticker meant.”

Matt Jackson poses with his 8th ball of the day on 5/14 at Angel Stadium – a new personal best for him:

Zack Hample celebrates his second home run catch (of the day) on 5/13 at Camden Yards:
