Connor Powers Wins CCBL Home Run Derby at Fenway
By: DJ Bean

Mississippi State's Connor Powers, currently playing for the Harwich Mariners, won Thursday's Cape Cod Baseball League Home Run Derby with two homers in the final round. He edged Cotuit catcher Stanley Rupp, who hit one in the finals.
 
Powers and Rupp each hit three dingers in the opening round to advance to the finals. Rupp had far and away (literally) the most impressive hit of the event, driving a ball to straight away center field furing the first round. In the end, however, quantity proved greater than quantity and Powers, who hit several balls just foul down the left field line, reigned victorious.
 
"When you get out there you just try to have some fun, especially in this ballpark, it's just something special," Powers said after the event. The Mississippi State slugger was an 11th-round choice of the Dodgers in June's draft and, while he mentioned the advantages to having...

Mark Buehrle throws perfect game
By: Alex Speier

White Sox starter Mark Buehrle fired a perfect game, retiring all 27 Tampa Bay Rays batters he faced in a 5-0 Chicago victory. Buehrle, who had previously thrown a no-hitter on April 18, 2007, threw 116 pitches, 76 strikes and struck out six.

Buehrle's perfect game was the 18th in major-league history, and the first since Randy Johnson threw one on May 18, 2004. His bid for perfection was nearly derailed in the top of the ninth, when leadoff hitter Gabe Kapler belted a ball to deep left-center. But centerfielder Dewayne Wise, who came into the game as a defensive replacement in the ninth, sprinted back and climbed the wall to catch a would-be home run. Though Wise bobbled the ball as he fell to the warning track, he ultimately secured it to keep Buehrle's bid for perfection intact.
