On the season, Poturnak leads Cloud County with 28 extra-base hits, 52 RBI, and 16 home runs with the home run total ranking third in the KJCCC and RBI total ranking 13th in the conference. Poturnak also ranks fifth in total bases in the KJCCC with 123 and is in the top 20 in school history in single-season home runs (3rd), hits (20th), and RBI (15th).
