Fleming rocked opposing pitching for a .440 average (11-25), 2 home runs and 5 RBIs to come away with the award.
To date this season Fleming is hitting .300 with 3 home runs. |  | Monday, April 21st, 1941: International League Selects Week's Best Player Max Surkont drew on his youthful energy and pitching skill to win International League Player of the Week honors last week.
The Kalida Swans pitcher registered 2 wins and no losses, 0.00 ERA and 8 strikeouts in 16 innings to sew up the award. The 18-year-old also held opposing hitters to 10 hits and a .182 batting average.
