Mike Witt Perfect Game Box Score

Did you know that Mike Witt threw ninety-four pitches which included seventy strikes and twenty-four balls during this perfect game?

The perfect game on this page was the first thrown at Arlington Stadium. Why a Reggie Jackson quotation? He drove in the only run and it was unearned due to a passed ball by catcher Donnie Scott.

During the ninth inning, California made three defensive changes to preserve the gem. Mike Witt then struck out the first batter and Texas countered with two pinch hitters, both of which grounded out.
