Burnett Named Top RL Hurler
Friday, July 1st, 2146:
Jon Burnett has been around the league long enough to know that relievers are often overlooked. That has never stopped him from doing what he does best -- and he did it extremely well in June and stole away with the Republic League Pitcher of the Month award.
The
Bruins bullpen ace collected 1 save and 13 strikeouts in 16 innings, holding the opposition to a .109 average and posting a 0.00 ERA and a 4-0 record.
For the year,
Burnett has collected 6 saves in 37 relief appearances. He has also rung up 33 strikeouts and 3 walks in 42 innings while registering a 1.71 ERA and a 4-1 won-lost mark.
