Cain reaches perfection!!

Last night Matt Cain pitched the game of his life: a perfect  game. He pitched the type of game that every pitcher hopes for. Not to mention the fact that this was only the 22nd perfect game ever pitched in Major League Baseball history, and the first ever thrown by a Giants pitcher!!

The whole game kept all Giants fans nervous, and on the edge of their seats. It was torture, as are most Giants games!
There were two particular plays that could have broken Cain's perfection.

One was in the sixth inning. Chris Snyder hit a ball to deep left-center field and Melky Cabrera reached up....and the ball sailed right into his glove. It really looked like a home run, but somehow Cabrera was able to catch the ball!

The other was in the seventh inning.
Jorden Schafer was at the plate and he hit the ball to right-center field.
For a moment it almost seemed as is Schafer had and extra base hit, but Gregor Blanco came out of no where and made an almost unthinkable diving catch and as as he crashed to the ground he was still able to hang on to the ball!!

It was all smooth sailing after that.
Cain struck out 14 batters total.
A truly amazing feat! He will most definitely go down in history!!
