The American Association announced on Monday that Winnipeg Goldeyes infielder Casey Haerther has been named the Pointstreak Player of the Week for the week ending June 15.
[b]Custom Jerseys Nike[/b] . Haerther, 26, had a homestand to remember last week, going 12-for-17 at the plate for a .706 average. He helped the Goldeyes sweep Grand Prairie in the AirHogs first ever trip to Shaw Park. In the three games against Grand Prairie, Haerther drove in nine runs and hit three home runs. Haerthers performance helped boost his season batting average to .385, which is currently the best in the league. Haerther is the third Goldeyes player to be named the American Associations Pointstreak Player of the Week so far this season. Tyler Kuhn received the honour after the first week of the season, and Luis Alen was honoured last week. The three Player of the Week nods so far in the young 2014 season already eclipses the Goldeyes two total honours that they received last year.

[b]Custom Jerseys[/b] . The 23-year-old restricted free agent appeared in all 48 games last season, finishing second among all Sabres skaters with 15 goals and 34 points.The Toronto Raptors have been playing great basketball of late and will try to keep it going tonight when they head to Quicken Loans Arena to face the Cleveland Cavaliers. Watch all the action unfold live on TSN or listen to it live on TSN Radio 1050 beginning at 7pm et/4pm pt. Raptors forward Amir Johnson (sprained ankle) participated in the shootaround and expects to play. The Raptors have won two straight and five of their last six. The only setback during that time was a home loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, but the Raps have dropped two of their last three on the road. Toronto had little trouble dispatching the Orlando Magic Sunday night, winning by a final of 105-90. Kyle Lowry didnt miss a shot in the game-altering third, scoring 17 of his 28 points in the frame. The Raptors won the period 36-24 to take command of the game. DeMar DeRozan provided 24 points, Terrence Ross added 16 and Amir Johnson had 12 for the Raptors, whose 52.3 percent efficiency from the field offset 24 turnovers. "We keep coming out sluggish and turn it on later," Raptors head coach Dwane Casey said. "We just have to be able to do it for the whole 48 minutes." A Raptors win tonight would clinch a winning record for a third consecutive month, a feat that hasnt happened since 2007.
[b]Authentic Custom Jerseys[/b]. The Cavs have dropped two in a row after a season-high six-game winning streak. Clevelands losing streak started in Toronto on Friday night when the Raps won by seven. On Monday, the Cavaliers fell to the hot Washington Wizards, 96-83 at home. Luol Deng scored 17 points and newly-acquired Spencer Hawes added 16 points and 12 rebounds off the bench for the Cavaliers, who had a three-game home winning streak snapped. Tristan Thompson also had a double-double in defeat with 11 points and 12 rebounds. Kyrie Irving donated 15 points in defeat. "There are so many things we have to figure out -- new pieces, guys missing -- but were not going to use that as an excuse. Time is of the essence right now, especially when we want to do something special here," Irving said. The Cavs have held their opponents under 100 points for seven straight games, the longest stretch since a seven-gamer over the first two weeks of March in 2010. The Raptors are 8-4 in their last 12 against the Cavaliers, but only 4-12 in their last 16 in Cleveland. ' ' '
