Perfect Game for Nakashima Wednesday, June 26th, 2024 So Cal Republic pitcher Oniji Nakashima might have many memorable performances during his baseball career, but none will likely compare to the outing he had against Brooklyn today at House of the Republic. Nakashima was perfect, retiring every batter he faced to give his team a 2-0 victory over the Black Knights. He finished the game with 15 strikeouts, walked no one, gave up no hits and his teammates made no errors. He retired all 27 batters he faced. "That shows you the kind of competitor he is," his manager said. "I thought he dominated the whole game. He hit his spots well and was really focused out there." "I had command of my pitches from the git-go," said Nakashima. "Usually it takes a few innings for me to get loose and get my mechanics right. It happened quicker today. I was comfortable from the first pitch. As the innings went on, it got easier. I was really smooth, fluid and relaxed. And the team definitely had my back. They saved the perfect game three or four times." In 16 starts this season Nakashima has compiled a 11-2 record and a 3.96 ERA. |
