Logan Spitzack's St. Cloud State statistics included 45 appearances, 19 games started, 135 innings pitched, 123 hits allowed, 35 walks, 102 strikeouts, 32 extra base hits. The most amazing statistic to me, only one sacrifice fly allowed in all those innings.
Two former KDHL area high school athletes are on the rosters of the teams in the title game. Brian Sprout for Miesville and Logan Spitzack for Chanhassen.
