Perfecto #22
Shohei Ohtani has pitched the 22nd
perfect game in TCBA history, a 2-0 gem on the road at West Coast. Shohei
struck out 11, every batter at least once. The offensive support came from
Jesse Winker, who hit two solo homers.
TCBA’s most
recent perfect game occurred on August 28, 2018, when Newark’s Erik Skogland bested Scranton with 7 strikeouts in a 6-0 win.
The
first-ever perfect game in TCBA history was recorded by Waukesha’s Lefty Leifeld in 1907, defeating Mexicali. Perhaps the greatest
pitching effort of all-time occurred on June12, 1970, when Norfolk’s Bert Blyleven
tossed 11 perfect innings to defeat Boulder Bluff.
