History was made in Superior as James Shields(1-0) thrilled the crowd by
tossing a perfect game and the SoCal Wildfires defeated the Superior Blues by
the score of 8 to nothing.
 
Shields had overwhelming stuff tonight.  He simply never gave the Superior
batters a decent pitch to drive.  The SoCal players and coaches started to
leave Shields alone with his thoughts after the game reached the 7th inning.
By the time the 9th inning rolled around, you could hear a pin drop every
time he went to his wind-up - and an explosion after every out.  Shields
racked up 10 strikeouts.  SoCal rapped out 12 hits for the night.  
 
Felix Hernandez(0-2) took the loss.  He was touched for 11 hits and 4 walks in
8 innings.  'Shields was simply incredible' losing pitcher Hernandez said.
'I hate to admit this but I'd pay to watch a man pitch like that'
