Northern League week 4 Player of the Week

the Monster
Mike "the Monster" Wilson of the Longview Lumberjacks is the week 4 U-Dub Pub & Grub Player of the Week.  Wilson was lights out from the mound in two separate games this past week.

Mike pitched a four inning perfect game against the Columbia Hgts. Cardinals on Tuesday.  He was completely over-powering and struck out every single batter that he faced, leading the Lumberjacks to victory.

On Wednesday Wilson pitched again taking on the Lexington Brewers.  The game went into extra innings and Mike pitched all eleven of them, throwing a no-hitter in the process.  He struck out 29 batters over the course of the eleven innings and the Jacks won 1-0.

Over the two series Wilson batted 6-19 and scored four runs while driving in seven.  His pitching has been a huge reason for the Lumberjacks success this season.
