Hunter Williams of the American Legion Post 20 Twins earned the Top Pitcher in the Alaska Legion State Tournament Awards on Wednesday at the conclusion of the tournament at Mulcahy Stadium in Anchorage.

Eagle River defended its title by defeating Service 4-3 in the title game. Service had defeated the Twins in the semifinals.

In pool play, Williams pitched a complete game against Bartlett on Sunday, giving up just one run on four hits while walking one and striking out six.
