by Thomas Cregan Walt Whitman RHP Grant Biederman just threw a perfect game with 11 strikeouts against Hills East pic.twitter.com/2DxZGjQfSR — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 15, 2021 Walt Whitman High School finished the 2021 season with a 7-11 in league record missing the playoffs by two games. Coach Keith Barrett said that they lost 6 games last season by 1 run and had a lot of close games along the way. He further stated that it was frustrating to have good pitching performances not backed up by proper run support and lots of men being left on base.

Whitman Looks to Make It Three Straight Playoff Trips Led By Two Division-I Arms

After beginning the season 0-4, they quickly completely turned the tables and won 10 of 11 qualifying for a postseason berth in the loaded League II.

It’s probably good considering the no-hit bit ended in the most unique fashion as he struck out the batter but a dropped third strike allowed him to reach first base safely.
