Logemann whiffs 20 in 7 innings

Wed - 03 Apr Written by Jim Ecker

Marshalltown third baseman Erica White had some advice for her teammates Wednesday afternoon after she struck out against Kirkwood ace Amber Logemann.

"Don't go after the high one," White told her friends after futilely swinging at strike three.

She also could have told her teammates to lay off the other pitches as well - high, low and in-between. It really didn't matter.

Logemann pitched a total of seven innings in Wednesday's doubleheader and struck out 20 batters in two games as the seventh-ranked Eagles swept Marshalltown, 10-0 and 5-0, in junior college softball.
