NORTH ADAMS – The North Adams SteepleCats announce that Kevin Carby has been named SteepleCats Player of the Week and Tim Boyce has been named SteepleCats Pitcher of the Week for the week of June 16-22.
 
Carby (Tulsa, OK/Tennessee Wesleyan College) turned it on when North Adams went out on the road this past week and has kept it going as he is currently riding a four-game hitting streak. During the streak, Carby is batting .412 (7-for-17) with a triple and six RBI. On the SteepleCats recent 2-1 road trip to Pittsfield, Torrington and Holyoke, Carby went 5-for-14 with all five hits driving home at least one run.
 
Boyce (Swansea, MA/University of Rhode Island) wins the team’s Pitcher of the Week award for the second week in a row. He made his only start during that stretch count as the Rhode Island right-hander went seven no-hit innings in a 7-0 victory over Torrington on Friday. Boyce was perfect through the first 20 batters of the game. Currently, Tim is riding a 15 innings scoreless streak and has neither allowed an earned run, nor walked a batter in his 20 innings of work this season.

Following tonight’s game, the SteepleCats will have Monday off before playing four of the next five games on the road, at Keene and Lowell on Tuesday and Wednesday and at Danbury and Torrington on Friday and Saturday. The lone home game in that stretch is on June 26 when North Adams will take on the Sanford Mainers when it will be Hoosac Bank Night at Joe Wolfe Field.
