Joe Hudak won this week's poll with the lowest percentage of votes for an outright victor with only 24% of the vote. Kristy Booher made it close all week, but came up short as she ended with only 20% of the vote. With Hudak's numbers for the week, it is surprising that he did not get more support. His perfect 7/7 with 4 HR and 11 RBI in only two games ceetainly makes him a worthy addition to this List of Champions.

Other Nominees This Week: Kristy Booher, Ryan Heipp, Eric Schutz, Jay Kletecka, Adam Benedict, Mike Bailey, Bob Gallo

Jamie Hanculak's huge playoff game not only started him off in the lead in this highly voted upon poll, but kept him there the entire week. In a field of 8 candidates, Hanculak garnered an impressive 35% of the vote. At a time fairly deep into the week, Hanculak actually had over 50% of the vote. His 5/5, 3 HR week helped his team to victory in its first playoff game of the season, and it certainly helped him win this week's poll.

Brian Swick and Rennis Rouse went neck and neck in this week's Power Player Poll. In the end, Swick's supporters gave him a 3% edge. The new placement of the poll on the softball home page resulted in easily the highest vote total of the season (293), and the second most of all time. Rouse's 8/8, 4 home run week turned out to not be enough, as Swick's 5 home run outburst impressed the voters just a tad more.

With a last minute surge, John Gregorio stole the Week 4 Power Players Poll from Jamie Hanculak of Mayfield Village Recreational Men. Gregorio edged out Hanculak by two percentage points, getting an even 40% of the votes. The monster numbers that Gregorio put up - 9/9, 2 2B, 4 3B, 2 HR, 10 RBI - were definitely tough to argue against, especially considering that Gregorio helped keep his Winking Lizard team at first place in the league standings.

After trailing Greg Gromek by a few percentage points late in the week, Brian Benander came from behind and held onto the lead for good, capturing 41% of the vote.
