Grab Some Bench: Becker Retires 27 in a Row Sunday, July 25th, 2021 Even as he reached the pinnacle of baseball achievement, Austin Becker never broke a sweat. The 21-year-old right-hander pitched a perfect game at BB&T Coastal Field today for the High Desert Mavericks, retiring 27 in a row. "I still don't believe it," Austin Becker told reporters inside the Mavericks locker room, following the win. "Throwing a perfect game just doesn't seem real." Becker was a picture of calm on the mound as he struck out 11 Stockton hitters and walked none as the Mavericks took the 11-0 victory. "I had the best control of my life today and it felt almost effortless," Becker said with a smile. "I never knew throwing a perfect game would be so easy." His record for the year is 3-0 in 7 starts and Becker has a 2.87 ERA. View Boxscore |
