Blackjack: Vote for the Baseball Player of the Week from 21 candidates for April 7-13

The hits have it. Medway's Aidan Tkowski was voted the spring's first Daily News Baseball Player of the Week for action between March 28 and April 6 after collecting nine hits and a save over three games. He received 33.18 percent of the more than 60,000 votes.

That just barely beat out Algonquin's Preston Cote (32.91 percent), that threw a no-hitter, and Nipmuc's Sean Burchard (30.6 percent).

Now we'll turn our attention to this week and games played between April 7 and 13. Here are the nominees:
