The "perfect" game depends on the other fielders playing a "perfect" game, too, unless the pitcher strikes out every batter he faces. Even then, you could have a passed ball by the catcher on a third strike and the runner could reach base on that error which would ruin a "perfect" game. Also, if a pitcher walks or hits a batter it is no longer a "perfect" game. No hits---No runs---No errors = perfect game.
Talked to a few parents that were at the game,and it was 21 up, 21 down, 13 strikeouts, no errors, no hits, no walks, no pass balls,
no wild pitches, no hit by pitches, no base runners. A few routine plays and a couple of really good plays , they said that Austin Nolen made a nice play in right center to catch a fly ball hit there, they said he went a long way to get it, and also Ben Arnold had a nice play at 2nd on a looping liner, and the last batter hit one up the middle that Derek dove and smothered, got up and threw him out to preserve the PERFECT GAME. And you are right it was a total team effort. Just sounded like you were trying to school everyone one on the meaning of a perfect game Bigorangeone. maybe i took it wrong sorry if I did. Once again great job.
