History was made at the Jersey Shore on Friday night as Steven Matz threw
the first perfect game in the long and storied history of the Motor City
Marauders, retiring all 27 New Jersey Riptide batters he faced in a 6-0
victory.
Matz struck out 11 hitters and dodged a number of bullets, including an
Ozzie Albies ground out on a park roll (Comerica Park has an 87 percent
chance of a hit), a missed deep fly by the EX power Anthony Rendon to lead
off the eighth inning, and the craziest of all, a catch on a wild play OFR
blooper by Cam Gallagher to lead off the ninth. MCM 2B Max Muncy made the
grab and then collided with RF Nick Castellanos. Muncy was injured and
missed the rest of the series, but preserved Matz's perfect game. Not
wanting to risk injury to any more of his teammates, Matz struck out Erik
Gonzalez and Harold Castro to finish things off.
The perfect game is the first since Max Scherzer threw one in 2018 for WMS.
The only other one I'm aware of since 2010 is Jeremy Hefner's 2013 perfect
game for Casper.
Congrats to Sean on the achievement! Even on the losing side, it was a fun
game to be a part of.
