Cortés Perfect Against Athletic Club KC Tuesday, May 7th , 2047 Even as he reached the pinnacle of baseball achievement, Claudio Cortés never broke a sweat. The 18-year-old right-hander pitched a perfect game at Ballpark of Albuquerque today for the Germantown Uruguayans, retiring 27 in a row. "I still don't believe it," Claudio Cortés told reporters inside the Uruguayans locker room, following the win. "Throwing a perfect game just doesn't seem real." Cortés was a picture of calm on the mound as he struck out 10 Athletic Club KC hitters and walked none as the Uruguayans took the 3-0 victory. "I had the best control of my life today and it felt almost effortless," Cortés said with a smile. "I never knew throwing a perfect game would be so easy." View Boxscore View Game Log |
