Myers allowed just two base-runners, both on walks, en route to his gem:
Myers allowed just two base-runners, both on walks, en route to his gem:
The "Bulldog" faced 29 Tornadoes batters, just 2 more than the minimum. His perfect game was broken up in the top of the 4th inning, as SS Ricardo Cordova drew a walk. Cordova would be caught stealing 2nd shortly after that, and Myers continued to cruise through the Worcester lineup. His only other blemish was a 4-pitch walk issued to C Patrick Perry to start off the 6th inning. However, Myers was unphased, continuing to roll right along. He would retire the next 3 batters in order, and none of the Tornadoes would be able get past 1st base today.It was the second no-hitter thrown in the 8-year history of Yogi Berra Stadium.
