Back in late April 2017, I was writing a spring roundup each week for Bristol, Waterbury and Wolcott. The one I wrote for April 29, 2017, included a perfect game.
That perfect game was tossed by Bristol Eastern pitcher Erin Girard, who tossed five innings in a 17-0 victory over Avon at Bristol Eastern High School. Girard faced 15 batters, and struck all 15 out. You read that right. All 15 batters were fanned by Girard.
Here’s my roundup, where you can read more about Girard’s day, and what else was going on in Bristol during the previous week.
