When push came to shove Meade would win Offensive Player in Games where Markus would take Defensive Player. if it was a Double Header each of them would top the other by taking both Offensive and Defensive in the other game.

Both amassed a total of 42 Points to the Gold Glove award both are deserving and it came to the Captains and the Coaches to decide. The Captains, Senior Captains Travis Knight and K.J. Jimison and new Captain Brandon Lucas all placed their votes and Assistant Manager Rob Johnson cast his and both Markus and Meade as Captains, their vote was split to give them each 1 at the end the result was a 5 to 1 vote for Markus Hall to receive the Boars Gold Glove award.

As Manager Joe Cantrell said " I am glad it was a unanimous decision as in the event of a tie, I vote to break the tie, and I am not sure I could of chose one over the other".

Markus Hall a Rookie becomes the 2nd Rookie to win the Award behind Doug Adkins in 2016. There was No winner in 2015. Markus played Short-Stop in every game he played for the Boars or Pitched and collected 1 save for his efforts.

Tabata edges Carroll by 1 triple

In the tightly contested Wild Boars team hitting title, the lead went back and forth between Zach Carroll and Team Captain Meade Tabata. It came down to 1 extra base hit a triple by Tabata that got him the title.

In the Boars new points system that gives all hitters a base point and adds points to it based upon what they do at the plate Tabata finished with 94 points, Carroll finished with 90 said  Mgr. Joe Cantrell. "The Boars went to this system in 2017 in an effort to fend off the arguments of favoritism and to create a system in which all players could compete",  Cantrell added.  "The points give all players a base starting point based on average over .400 gets you 20 points  over .300 you start at 15 points and acquire points as follows, Hits - 1 point per hit, doubles 2- points per hit, triple gets you 3 points plus your 1 for your hit, and Home runs get 5. Stolen bases, base on balls, and RBI's get 1 point a piece add them all up and you get what you get".

Meade Tabata led the Boars with his team high .440 average hits, 13 base on balls, 8 doubles 1 triple, 15 RBI's, 5 stolen bases and was hit by 4 pitches. Carroll led the Boars with 30 hits and drove in 19 runs which made the points so close but in the end it came to 1 extra base hit and digging hard to make the extra base.

Meade Tabata picks up his first team hitting title since joining the Boars in 2015 where he saw limited action and again in 2016 when he was deployed.

All of the Boars want to say Congratulations to Meade Tabata the Boars 2017 Wild Boars Hitting Leader.

Markus also pitched and picked up 1 save in his efforts. Markus was recognized by the MVABL voting finishing 4th among all Short Stops in the league All Team awards. Markus places his name in Boars Records as Rookie of the year along with,                                                                                    Brandon Lucas - 2016                                                                                                    Tyler Klepach - 2015                                                               Markus is the 2nd Short Stop named to this list behind Klepach in 2015.
