It was the tale of two contests in Saturday’s fourteen innings of doubleheader baseball, and the two could hardly have been more dissimilar.
The first contest was all Steady Freddy Peralta, literally. He pitched a complete game and looked sharp from beginning to end. In the first, Peralta induced three contact-outs. The most impressive of these was a Josh Bell flyout that ended the inning. The knock had Christian Yelich racing from deep left-center to shallow left and diving to make a fantastic catch near the foul line.
Peralta went on to strike out the side in the second.
