Gottier also collected 54 bases on balls while pushing across 75 runs and scoring 64 runs and ran up a .405 on base percentage. |  | Sunday, October 5th, 2008: Southern League Crowns Carolina's Costello 2008 King of the Hill Carolina's Sixto Costello took home the 2008 SL Outstanding Pitcher Award statuette earlier today. Amassing a record of 18-7, Costello proved a logical choice for the honor, especially when factoring in his 26 quality starts, 191 strikeouts, and 2.88 ERA. | | | | |
