In the 1973 College World Series, a Minnesota player won the Most Outstanding Player award, despite the Gophers’ elimination-game loss to USC in the semifinals. The MOP, a St. Paul Central High School product and future Hall of Famer, struck out 14 in his opening-game shutout win over Oklahoma in Game 1 of the CWS. In the semifinal, this right-hander took a one-hit shutout and 7-0 lead into the ninth against the Trojans in a game the Gophers ultimately lost 8-7. His final pitching line for the 1973 College World Series: 17 1/3 innings, one earned run, nine hits and 29 strikeouts. His performance in the semifinal game inspired this quote from USC’s Rich Dauer: "In my whole career, even facing the big boys in the majors, I have never seen anything like that. … When _____ let go of the ball, it was three feet in front of your face and it seemed like it was going 110 miles an hour." Who is this player?
