Augusta, NJ - The Canadian-American Association of Professional Baseball has announced that Martin Figueroa was names the Pointstreak Can-Am Player of the week for the week ending June 10, 2018. It is the first Can-Am weekly honor for Figueroa, and he becomes the third player to receive a weekly award for the first place Sussex County Miners.

For the week, Figueroa was 8-for-18, a .444 clip. He had two doubles, one triple, and nine RBIs during the six-game span during the past week. He also had an On-Base Percentage of .542 and a Slugging Percentage of .667 while only striking out once in 25 plate appearances.
