McRae, Borgo head 4th All-Canuck team
By BOB ELLIOTT
For SLAM! Canadian Baseball
Never mind hitting .400, second baseman T.J. Shimizu (sophomore, Toronto, Ont.), of the
Salem International Tigers, had such a sweet swing, he hit .500 in the spring of 2003.
Outfielders Alex Borgo (senior, Cookstown, Ont.), of the New Mexico State Aggies, and
Josh McCurdy (senior, Thornhill, Ont.), of the Niagara Purple Eagles, both were RBI machines.
Borgo hit 17 homers and knocked in 71 runs, while McCurdy hit 12 homers with 63 RBIs.
And first baseman Brandon Kaye (senior, Saltspring Island, BC), of the Oklahoma City Stars,
was no slouch at the plate either, hitting 25 homers and driving in 82 runs.
