Andy Garriola and Nathan Hemmerling win defensive award<\/em><\/p>\n

Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. \u2013 Since 2002, Rawlings has rewarded the top defenders in the Northwoods League each season. These nine players are recognized as the best defensive players throughout the entire Northwoods League. To qualify for the \u2018Finest in the Field\u2019 Award, a field player needs to appear in at least half of the scheduled games in a specific position. As for pitchers, the player that has the highest total defensive chances without committing an error earns the award.<\/p>\n

This season Andy Garriola (Old Dominion) and Nathan Hemmerling (Lakeland) were crowned as the \u2018Finest in the Field\u2019. Both Rafters maintained a fielding percentage of 1.000. Garriola played in 40 of the 46 games on the season, making a majority of his appearances in the outfield. Throughout the 314 innings that he played, Garriola had a successful 103 total chances with 98 putouts. He also tallied 5 assists and 7 double plays with a range factor of 2.952.<\/p>\n
