Week 8 Northern League Player of the Week

Burck

Week 8 saw Josh "Burck" Burckhardt lead the Longview Lumberjacks over their division rivals, the Ridgefield Orioles.  With the win the Jacks take control of first place in the North West Division.

Burck had a great day at the plate collecting four hits including one round-tripper.  He also scored three runs while driving in two to help lead the Loggers' charge.

As good as Burckhardt was at the plate he was even better from the mound.  Josh threw a one-hit shut-out over the course of nine innings.  He struck out 21 batters while walking only 1.  He also collected the other six outs for his team with his fielding.

If the Lumberjacks are going to challenge for a CCWA Championship this season they're going to need Burckhardt to keep playing at this level.
