ARVADA (MyFoxColorado.com) - “I mean it’s just one of those things. It’s just crazy the way it worked out. So many things had to go perfect for it to work out the way it did.”

Faith Christian High School pitcher Jobi Wall just shook his head in wonder, reflecting back on the district playoff game where he not only threw a perfect game, but, also hit for the cycle, pounding a homerun at his final at bat.

The feat was unlikely, unbelievable, and perhaps unequalled, but even after all that, Wall requested that he not be referred to as “Mr. Perfect”.

“It never would have happened without my teammates. I was never really worried about the perfect game because our fielders are so great. Everytime the ball was put in play, I knew our fielders would make the play.”

He says the phone’s been ringing just a little more than usual. And, claims that no one’s been hounding him for autographs. But, when he learned that he’d been mentioned during a Rockies broadcast, he had to admit that was “really cool, really cool.”
