“27 up, 27 down!” ✅

It’s every baseball broadcaster’s dream to call a perfect game, and I did it last night. Congrats to Khristian Curtis, Jake Shirk, Michael Walsh, catcher Derek Berg & the Grasshoppers on PERFECTION!

I’m the IronBirds broadcaster, I’m loyal to my guys, and I would never wish for my squad to be on the wrong end of an historic feat like this, but it’s my responsibility as a broadcaster to recognize and capture the significance of big moments and deliver for my entire audience, which includes families, friends and fans of both teams.

I’m proud of how I called this game, especially my final out call, and I’m grateful that I had this potentially once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you to everyone who reached out with kind words about my broadcast!

7/4/25. Being part of history is always special.
