Luebcke Adds D3baseball.com Team of the Week Honors to Weekly Accolades
BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Adding to his selection as Skyline Conference Baseball Player of the Week yesterday, St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) senior Brian Luebcke (Monsignor McClancy/Astoria, N.Y.) has been named to the D3baseball.com Team of the Week as a second baseman for games played from March 7-13.
Luebcke is the seventh Bear to land on the Team of the Week, D3baseball.com's weekly honor roll in it's fifth season recognizing the top performers at each of nine positions.
Over a 4-0 stretch where the Bears swept the College of Staten Island and Lehman College in their first action in the northeast, Luebcke compiled a .526 (10-for-19) batting average and .947 slugging percentage collecting eight RBI, nine runs, a home run, a triple and three doubles.
The senior extended his hitting streak to nine games, the only Bear to successfully hit in every game this season.
He highlighted his weekend with a 4-for-6 effort with two RBI, three runs and his first homer of the season in the 21-run outburst in game one at Lehman on Sunday.
On the mound, the Luebcke earned his first win of the season with a seven-inning complete game victory over Staten Island where he struck out six, scattered four hits and surrendered just one earned run in the game two triumph on Saturday that clinched the Bears first sweep of the Dolphins.
In addition to tossing a complete game, his second of the season, the versatile senior started at shortstop, second base and right field over the four-game set. He currently leads the team with a .459 batting average, .730 slugging and a team-low 1.13 earned run average through 16 innings of work.
Luebcke and the Bears (4-5) will look to build on their four-game win streak on Thursday, March 17 heading to Madison, N.J. to face Drew University, in a game originally scheduled for Wednesday. The single nine-inning non-conference game is slated to start at 3:30 p.m. Live stats will be available on SJCBears.com.
