I would think that 27 would be the perfect number, considering that's how many outs are needed to end a game. With that in mind, has there ever been a perfect game thrown in college with the aluminum bats? Or a no hitter?
I don't know about a perfect game, but yesterday, some pitcher for East Carolina no-hit Memphis for the first ever nine-inning no-hitter in CUSA history. The dude struck out 14 and allowed only one base runner - one of his Ks reached on a passed ball. What a way to lose a perfect game.
Here's the blurb from BaseballAmerica. My mistake, it was a wild pitch, not a PB. This is the same Charlotte team that on March 26 came within one out of getting no-hit by East Carolina sophomore righthander Ricky Brooks. Brooks has figured out how to close things down. He threw the first no-hitter in CUSA history in a 3-0 win against Memphis. Brooks struck out a career-best 14 batters, though one of those strikeouts cost him a perfect game. Strike three to Adam Amar got away from ECU catcher Jake Smith, and Amar became the only runner to reach base on what was ruled a wild pitch. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/college/050425recap.html
