C.J. Forman has been establishing himself as the premiere arm in Suffolk county and one of the absolute elite starters in all of New York this season, and now he can add perfection to that resume. The righty from Longwood pitched a perfect game last week delivering just 72 pitches in the effort. There were no mistakes, no bad pitches, not a single flaw in Forman's game.
Longwood demolished Riverhead in the three game set and first place is secure as the season is winding down. The Lions sit at 11-2 after their impressive run of wins. They have strung together six straight wins where they have outscored their opponents 70-9.
Forman has four wins on the year, with only six players above him in Suffolk, and he has now struck out 25 batters in his last two starts. His perfect game however is something even the greats have a hard time capturing. For context of how rare a perfect game really is we only have to look at the majors. Over the 154 years of Major League Baseball history, which is now over 238,500 games played, there have been only 24 official perfect games in history.
