Getting your player ready...
Think Rocky Mountain’s Andy Burns is ready for the Class 5A baseball playoffs, which begin Saturday? The senior shortstop, recognized as Colorado’s top player, completed the regular season Tuesday in a 20-3 nonleague victory against Wheat Ridge by going 3-for-3 with three home runs, four runs scored and eight runs batted in. A year ago, when he led the Lobos to the state championship, the Kentucky-bound Burns dominated the playoffs by batting .571 with four home runs and 15 RBIs. And his fielding, which included a masterful play behind the second-base bag for a double play, was sparkling.
