Griffle Ball Pitcher Throws Perfect Game

Kyle Lidster and his team, the Lightning, are apparently dominating the Griffle Ball League (isn't that a great name for a league?) thus far in the season. Their season just recently started, June 5, but a video from opening day just now surfaced on Youtube. The video is Lidster throwing a perfect game against the Coon Hunters. I did some digging through what stats Griffle Ball has available on their website and found out that Lidster has the highest career home runs (65), wins (15), and ERA (0.99) of all the players in their league. The only career statistic he's not conquered is saves. But the career leader for saves is two and Lidster threw his first career save this year. If he relieves on the mound a little more often he'll be on the top of that list as well. This guy is an all-around player and it's no surprise that his team is 5-0 and look to be the team to beat. But I can't help but be more curious about their statistics. They don't have useful statistical data such as batting averages, runs batted in, pitching strikeouts, etc. The only data available is games played, home runs, wins, losses, & ERA. You can find out Innings Pitched when you download the Excel file with that statistics on it. But I find it incredible that this guy throws a perfect game and is hands-down the best pitcher in the league...yet I have no clue how many strikeouts he has.
