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.
