Senior Jayden Rojas of Bell unleashed his best pitching performance of the season on Friday, giving up one hit and no walks while striking out 14 in a 1-0 win over Roosevelt. He also drove in the game's only run with an RBI single in the fifth inning.
Rojas retired the first 18 Roosevelt batters in order until giving up a leadoff single in the seventh to break up his perfect game.
"I wanted to attack," Rojas said. "I felt more confident throwing fastballs."
Bell improved to 19-3 and 5-1 in the Eastern League.
"He was dialed in on the mound," coach Frank Medina said. "Extremely efficient. He is usually plagued by 3-and-2 counts and walks, but today he had no walks and most of his 14 strikeouts came on four or less pitches. He was nasty."
