Pirates Fall Victim To Perfect Game


The game played yesterday on the Vashon field between the Pirate Varsity and the Cowboys from Chimacum was a classic pitching duel between the two best pitchers in the Nisqually League-Arlo Evasick and Justin Calhoun. Both pitchers pitched complete games and struck out 13 opposing batters. As good as Calhoun was on the mound allowing only one run on a walk and a triple, Evasick one-upped him by throwing a masterful "perfect game." Twenty-one batters up, twenty-one batters out. No runs, no hits, no errors, no walks. Nothing but outs. On this day, just making contact became a moral victory. This was a battle of two warriors doing what they do best-working their way through the opposing team's lineup like skilled surgeons. If you were there, you know what I mean. If you weren't, you missed a great game. Next up is Orting on the road.
