INTERCOUNTY BASEBALL LEAGUE
*************************
The Intercounty Baseball League announced Barrie infielder Jordan Castaldo as its Rawlings Player of the Month for July. 

It's Castaldo's second time earning the honour this season, having been named the league's top player in May.

The 30-year-old from Toronto hit .396 (21-for-53) last month, adding six home runs, 15 RBI, 19 walks and a stolen base. 

Castaldo is chasing the Triple Crown as he leads the IBL in average (.462) and home runs (15), and is tied with teammate Kevin Atkinson for the lead in RBI (44).

Sean Reilly was the last player to win the Triple Crown, when he did it in 2015 with Kitchener. 

Castaldo, in 132 at bats, is also tops in on-base percentage (.599), slugging (.871) and OPS (1.470).
