Buerkle enjoyed a remarkable 10-game spring trip for the Cardinal baseball team, hitting an eye-popping .694 in helping Saint Mary's to a 7-3 showing.
Buerkle—who became just the second player in program history to reach 200 career hits with his second of three hits against Rockford on March 3—went 25-for-36 en route to his .694 batting average, while also leading the team in runs (16), hits (25), doubles (5), triples (1), home runs (4), RBIs (11), total bases (44), slugging percentage (1.222), walks (7), stolen bases (4), and on-base percentage (.756).
Fueled by his current 10-game hitting streak, Buerkle has now collected at least one hit in 119 of the 128 games he’s played in, while reaching base safely in 125 of those 128 games.
