Simpson Retires 27 Straight Batters:
In front of thousands of fans at Ballpark of Cedar Falls today, Wayne Simpson pitched what will surely be the best game of his career, likely the best of the 2028 NCAA season, and perhaps the best game for years to come. Simpson was flawless for the Northern Iowa Panthers, throwing a perfect game against the Loyola Marymount Lions.
"I knew when I took the mound today that I felt good," Simpson said to reporters after the game. "I had no idea that I felt that good."
Simpson struck out 9, allowed no hits, surrendered no walks and allowed no baserunners of any kind en route to the 1-0 Panthers victory. He retired 27 batters in a row.
This season Simpson has a 3-7 record with a 5.58 ERA.
