Hiatt hurls Perfect Game against Brewers!
...and then there were none.
As in no runs, no hits, no walks, no errors, etc..
Just two days after the first ever WPK Perfect Game was recorded by veteran Jaime Schardein, 23-year old Mike (Don't Call Me John) Hiatt hurled the second. And against our Brewers.
Hiatt might have been beaten to the punch slightly by Schardein, but he does become the first pitcher in WPK history to have recorded two no-hitters in his big league career. Hiatt no-hit the L.A. Spinners on June 21st, 1970, in his first season in the WPK. And that was a near perfect game except that he walked one batter.
Tough break for Harry Lyerly, who pitched a fine game himself, allowing no runs in his 7 1/3rd innings pitched, giving up just 3 hits while striking out 9 and walking 3. The game went into the bottom of the 9th as a scoreless tie but the Sting were able to string together a pair of walks, a hit-by-pitch, and a single to get the walk-off 1-0 win.
