PITCHER OF THE WEEK – RHP DYLAN UNSWORTH, HIGH DESERT
Unsworth was dominant in his start at Modesto on Friday, going 7 shutout innings and allowing 3 hits while striking out 12. The right-hander out of South Africa bounced back from a tough outing at home against Lake Elsinore nine days earlier to have easily his strongest start of the season.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK – LHP TYLER PIKE, HIGH DESERT
Tyler Pike, the Mariners’ #9 prospect, threw the first six innings of a combined no-hitter against Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday to earn Pitcher of the Week honors. In notorious hitter’s paradise in Adelanto, Pike walked just two and struck out eight while keeping the Quakes hitless. Two relievers finished off the gem.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – 3B D.J. PETERSON, HIGH DESERT
It was a High Desert sweep of Cal League awards last week as Mavericks’ slugging first baseman D.J. Peterson batted .467/.515/.867 to take the honors on offense. Ranked #2 in the Mariners organization, the 2013 first-round pick hit two homers and drove in seven, continuing to heat up as the season moves along.
