Week 10 Northern League Player of the Week

In week 10 Josh "Burck" Burckhardt led his Longview Lumberjacks to victory over the Columbia Hgts. Cardinals.  The wins helped keep the Lumberjacks at the top of their division.

Burck was absolutely filthy from the mound throwing a perfect game.  He went all six innings and struck out seventeen of the eighteen batters he faced.  He had pin-point control and was placing his pitches exactly where he wanted them.

Burckhardt also helped his team out at the plate.  He had six hits on the day including two round trippers.  He drove in six runs on the day and scored three times himself.

Burck has found his swing again and he should help his team challenge for the top seed in the Northern League.
