Nothing like a little bi-partisianship, eh? Fantastic game saved by a great chance in the ninth. Centerfielder Wise was off like a shot knowing he was going to have to hit the wall to make the chance which he did grabbing the ball over the fence. He smashed into it knocking the ball out of his glove then grabbed it again as both fell to the ground.
Buerhle was in command the whole game other than that and a couple of near miss fould down the left field line. Three batters took him to 3 balls but he wouldn’t give them the fourth.
Managing those events is part of pitching the perfect game. Buerhle deserves his place in history. I know nothing about his career but wish him the best.
