GNCBL Players of the Week: Dominance on the Mound and Power at the Plate

As the summer rolls on and the playoff race intensifies, two players stood out above the rest in the GNCBL with stellar performances that earned them weekly honors.

🏆 Pitcher of the Week: Christopher Gaudio

Team: Bangor Babes
College: Portal

Christopher Gaudio was untouchable this week for the Bangor Babes, delivering a flawless outing that left no room for doubt. In four innings of work, Gaudio didn’t allow a single hit, run, or walk, finishing with:

  • 4.0 IP

  • 1 Win

  • 0 H | 0 R | 0 ER | 0 BB

  • 5 Strikeouts

  • 0.00 ERA | 0.00 WHIP | .000 BAA

With pinpoint command and electric stuff, Gaudio was in complete control from the first pitch to the last. His dominance helped the Babes secure a key win and made a clear statement as teams jostle for playoff position. It was the kind of performance that shuts the door—literally and figuratively.

🏆 Player of the Week: Austin Buck

Team: Waterville Woodworkers
College: University of Wisconsin, Eau-Claire

At the plate, it was Austin Buck who stole the spotlight. The Woodworkers' offensive catalyst put together an explosive week, going 4-for-8 with extra-base hits in all directions:

  • .500 AVG (4-for-8)

  • 1 Double, 1 Triple, 1 Home Run

  • 4 RBI, 4 Runs Scored

  • 2 Walks

  • 2-for-2 in Stolen Bases

Buck's complete offensive output—power, speed, and plate discipline—fueled Waterville's attack and made him a nightmare for opposing pitchers. Whether driving in runs or crossing the plate himself, Buck was a one-man spark plug for the Woodworkers.

With standout performances like these, the GNCBL continues to showcase the next generation of rising baseball talent. Stay tuned as the heat turns up—both on the field and in the standings.
