Maki Spins Perfect Game Against Grasshoppers
One of the rarest feats in baseball occurred at L.P. Frans Stadium: the perfect game.

Facing off against the Greensboro Grasshoppers, Hickory Crawdads hurler Tom Maki gave up no runs, no hits, no walks and saw no errors in the 2-0 victory.

"This was one of those games where a good athlete was on top of his game," said Hickory manager Jordan Castro after the game. "He had a tremendous rhythm out there. His focus, his concentration, his stuff, everything was as good as it could possibly be."

Maki saw 27 batters and retired every one of them in order. He bewildered the Grasshoppers, striking out 10.

Late in the game, the left-hander sat by himself at one end of the dugout, staring at the ground. No one approached him, adhering to the baseball superstition that no one mention a no-hitter -- much less a perfect game -- until it is completed. When it was over, Maki gave a simple fist pump, while his teammates mobbed him and the fans gave a standing ovation.

"A game like this was special," Maki said. "It doesn't come along very often."

His record for the year is 6-4 in 13 starts and Maki has a 3.48 ERA.
