Bryant Tosses Perfect Game Against Lime Suckers Friday, July 16th , 2066 The near-impossible occurred today: Patrick Bryant pitched a perfect game, securing a place for himself in baseball history. Starting for the La Paz War, Bryant defeated the Key West Lime Suckers 3-0 in a no-run, no-hit, no-man-reach-first game -- the rarest of the rare. "I knew what was going on," he acknowledged to BNN after the game. "I was hoping the fans would kind of shush a little bit. They were making me nervous." When his perfect day on the mound ended, he pumped his fist twice at the ground as he was swarmed by his teammates. He made his way off the field to a standing ovation from the crowd and gave fans a final wave before disappearing into the clubhouse. "You don't talk to the guy about it, of course, but I could tell he was confident," War manager said. "He wanted it." The right-hander walked nobody and struck out 3 in the game, for which he had a special audience in the stands -- his parents. Bryant said his dad appeared puzzled in the clubhouse after the game and asked what all the excitement was about. "He said he got there late, and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, you missed my perfect game!'" Bryant recounted. "Of course, turns out he was kidding. They had seen the whole thing." So far this season Bryant has a record of 8-3 with 75 strikeouts and 21 walks in 106.1 innings and a 3.81 ERA. View Boxscore |
