Ian Sanger was the hitting and pitching star Thursday as Scottsdale routed Surprise 12-2 for the Cal Ripken 12-70 state championship at Surprise Recreation Campus.

Sanger's two-out, two-run double was the big blow in a six-run second that blew open the game for Scottsdale, which now will travel to Bakersfield, Calif., for the Pacific Southwest Regional. At stake is a berth in the Ripken World Series in Aberdeen, Md.

Sanger finished with two doubles and a single at the plate and was the starting and winning pitcher. He was named the team MVP for the tournament.

The Scottsdale roster includes Ty Macias, Jack Melbostad, Tate Matheny, Collin Wilfong, Luke Rubenzer, Brady Bocks, Brandon Berger, David Evans, Ian Sanger, Kaleb Young, Hunter Bross and Payton Kruidenier.
