WESTWOOD -- The pure definition of throwing a perfect game is that a pitcher retires every batter that he faces. But even if Queen of Peace's Chris DeRogatis had done that in Wednesday's BCSL-American Division game at Westwood, it might not even have been as impressive as what his final line showed. DeRogatis faced just three batters over the minimum, did not allow as much as a hard hit ball over the first five innings and gave up just one hit while striking out 16 and walking just two in a complete game win and complete game domination. Using not much more than his fastball, DeRogatis struck out the side in the third, fourth and fifth innings, allowed just four base runners in the game and did not allow a hit until Westwood’s Donnie Cimino singled to left field with two outs in the sixth inning before getting caught trying to steal second base.

Westwood had two corners in the second half that served as it best two scoring chances.
