Jenkins Hurls Perfect Game against Tigers Thursday, May 21st , 2048 One of the rarest feats in baseball occurred at Terriers Ballpark: the perfect game. Facing off against the Twinsburg Tigers, Shady Side Zoomies hurler Ed Jenkins gave up no runs, no hits, no walks and saw no errors in the 1-0 victory. "This was one of those games where a good athlete was on top of his game," said Shady Side manager John Aston after the game. "He had a tremendous rhythm out there. His focus, his concentration, his stuff, everything was as good as it could possibly be." Jenkins saw 27 batters and retired every one of them in order. He bewildered the Tigers, striking out 13. Late in the game, the right-hander sat by himself at one end of the dugout, staring at the ground. No one approached him, adhering to the baseball superstition that no one mention a no-hitter -- much less a perfect game -- until it is completed. When it was over, Jenkins gave a simple fist pump, while his teammates mobbed him and the fans gave a standing ovation. "A game like this was special," Jenkins said. "It doesn't come along very often." View Boxscore View Game Log |
