HARDEEVILLE, S.C. - Cam Dimidjian was mobbed by his teammates after Brock Thibodeaux threw out Claflin's Da'Avion Sumpter, completing a historic out, as Dimidjian recorded USCB's first perfect game in program history Saturday afternoon in Hardeeville as the Sand Sharks defeated the Panthers, 10-0.
The Jefferson Hills, Pa. native went the distance - in a mercy rule victory- striking out eight without allowing a base runner.
