Longoria Perfect Against Buffalo
Thursday, August 27th , 2020
Saint Pierre and Miquelon Pirates starter Tony Longoria was as good as a pitcher can be today, as he hurled a perfect game against the Buffalo Bellflowers.
In doing so, Longoria accomplished one of the most difficult feats in baseball and one that will put his name in the record books.
"I can tell you I've dreamed about a day like this," Longoria told the press after the game. "Now that I've done it, the feeling is even better."
In his splendid 3-0 victory at Spinners Ballpark, Longoria yielded no hits, walked none and had 13 strikeouts. In the historic outing he retired 27 successive batters.
Presently Longoria has a 15-3 mark in 22 starts with a 2.73 ERA. He has given up 88 hits in 131.2 innings, struck out 180 and issued 16 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .183 batting average against him.
