Northern Lakes league recap: 5/14/12

Zak Nornberg was the best pitcher in the league this week. His stat line for the week included one win and eight Ks.

This could be a critical week for Deer River, which holds a 2.0-game lead over Nashwauk-Keewatin for the league's top spot in the standings.

Northland's pitching staff dominated this week, allowing only 16 hits and six walks, both of which led the league. The Eagles have given up a mere 79 hits on the year in addition to compiling 51 strikeouts. Nornberg is the leader in that category with 36 Ks on the season.
