Blowers Hurls Perfect Game against Big Stick
|
One of the rarest feats in baseball occurred at Big Stick Ballpark: the perfect game.
Facing off against the Houston Big Stick, Dallas Marvels hurler Shaun Blowers gave up no runs, no hits, no walks and saw no errors in the 3-0 victory.
"This was one of those games where a good athlete was on top of his game," said Dallas manager Júlio Romano after the game. "He had a tremendous rhythm out there. His focus, his concentration, his stuff, everything was as good as it could possibly be."
Blowers saw 27 batters and retired every one of them in order. He bewildered the Big Stick, striking out 6.
Late in the game, the left-hander sat by himself at one end of the dugout, staring at the ground. No one approached him, adhering to the baseball superstition that no one mention a no-hitter -- much less a perfect game -- until it is completed. When it was over, Blowers gave a simple fist pump, while his teammates mobbed him and the fans gave a standing ovation.
"A game like this was special," Blowers said. "It doesn't come along very often."
This year Blowers has worked 97 innings with 59 strikeouts en route to a 6-5 record and a 3.43 ERA.
