Goggin Gets Award for Relief Work Sunday, June 18th , 2062 Tom Goggin was a calming influence out of the Lerna Lions bullpen this season. His teammates and manager said he had a poised demeanor about him that was typical of someone much older and more experienced. His poise has paid off, as the 14-year-old turned in a sparkling season and has been named the winner of the Pete Rose Little League Reliever of the Year Award for 2062. The Chicago, Illinois native won the award with 9 saves in 20 relief appearances, 31 strikeouts in 24 innings and a record of 1-3 to go with his 3.38 ERA. He received 24 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Tony Pierce of the George Washington Patriots finished second in voting, while Don Snook of the Montreal Cardinals finished third.
