Round 29 - LHP - Hamilton Bennett

5-1-10 from: - http://www.uvawisecavs.com/article/637.php - Hamilton Bennett pitched a perfect game as the Tennessee Wesleyan Bulldogs avenged a Friday loss by sweeping a double header from UVa-Wise on Saturday. UVa-Wise is now 26-19 overall and 11-15 in the Appalachian Athletic Conference. A pitching performance not soon to be forgotten occurred in the day's first game. Hamilton Bennett's fast ball kept UVa-Wise hitters off stride all day; the left hander was consistently in the upper 80's on radar guns throughout Stallard Field. Tennessee Wesleyan's defense did not falter behind Bennett in the perfect game bid. In the seventh, Tommy Meier hit a ground ball to the hole between first and second base only to see Wesleyan first baseman Ryan Santos field the ball and throw to a covering Bennett to beat Meier by half a step. The southpaw also had to endure a 3-2 count in the game's final inning; Bennett eventually struck out Cody Bentley in that at bat.
