It was only the third perfect game in National League history and the first in the last 84 years. On June 12, 1880, John Lee Richmond pitched the first perfect game in major league history. On June 17, five days later, John Montgomery Ward matched the feat.

    • Jeff Larish matched a College World Series record with three home runs, and J.J. Sferra drove in the game-winning run with a bloop single in the 11th inning as Arizona State rallied for an 8–7 victory and eliminated hometown favorite Nebraska.

    • The New York Yankees scored 13 runs in the eighth inning, sending 16 batters to the plate, to help overcome an early eight-run deficit and defeat Tampa Bay 20–11.
