Starr Pitches Perfect Game for Idaho Falls Sunday, September 5th, 2027 The Impossible Dream occurred today. Barney Starr of the Idaho Falls Chukars secured a place for himself in league history, defeating the Delaware 1787 BC 2-0 in a perfect game. -- a no-hit, no-run, no-man-reach-first game. That's one of the rarest of the rare. In the postgame interview on BNN he said, "I knew what was going on, I was hoping the fans would kind of shush a little bit. They were making me nervous." His batterymate said Starr could smell it at the end. "He was that confident, he was that good." 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 with a final wave to the fans he disappeared into the clubhouse. On his history-making day at Idaho Falls Park Starr walked nobody and struck out 13. When his dad walked into the clubhouse after the game, he walked over and asked the elated Starr, "I got here late. What happened?" "What? You didn't see the game?" Starr blurted out. His dad was kidding, of course. He had watched the whole game ... the whole perfect game. For the season Starr has compiled a 12-4 record with a 2.30 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
