Fitzgerald’s big week highlighted the end of a twelve-game homestand that saw the Emeralds go 10-2, including a six-game sweep of the Hillsboro Hops before taking four-of-six against the Vancouver Canadians.

Fitzgerald is the second consecutive Emerald to be named the High-A West Player of the Week after Franklin Labour received the same honor the week prior.

Fitzgerald and the first place Emeralds head up the I-5 to take on the Hillsboro Hops this week, starting Tuesday at Ron Tonkin Field. The Emeralds return home the following week for a six-game home series against the Everett AquaSox on July 6-11. Tickets are available now at www.EmeraldsBaseball.com or by calling (541) 342-5367.
