Northern Lakes's top pitcher this week was
Northland's
Zak Nornberg. He won one game and struck out eight batters.
This could be a critical week for
Deer River, which holds a two-game lead over
Nashwauk-Keewatin for the league's top spot in the standings.
The Eagles' pitching was especially stingy this week, allowing 20 hits and 21 walks to lead the league in both categories. On the season, Northland has allowed just 99 hits, while striking out 65 batters. Nornberg leads Northland with 44 strikeouts in 52 innings pitched.
