Pawlik, Scheller co-winners for June in HR Contest

Kyle Schwarber's historic home run tear in June not only paid off for the Washington Nationals slugger, it paid off for the two co-winners of the BRS Museum Home Run contest.

Both Roger Pawlik and Owen Scheller earned 16 points from Schwarber's 16-homer month as each of their 15-person team amassed 114 points, topping the 112 entries for the Home Run contest, which tests entrants' abilities to amass the most points among MLB hitters. Points are awarded for home runs. Pawlik, from the Chicago suburb of Alsip, and Scheller, of Mt. Olive, took different paths to the top, but each of their player selections finished with 114 points. Pawlik and Scheller will split the $28 monthly prize.

Pawlik leads the overall standings through June with 297 points, five ahead of Wayne Adams, who has 292. Scheller stands third with 286 points. The top five players at the end of the season will share in the overall prize pool, with the champion earning $140.
