“GRAMBLING, La. Shemar Page added to his impressive season on Friday night as the Grambling State University baseball team opened its Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) series with Alcorn State at Wilbert Ellis Field at R.W.E. Jones Park.
“Page threw just 84 pitches in a perfect game, collecting a season and career-high 13 strikeouts in the process, as the Tigers won their third consecutive SWAC game and 11th straight over Alcorn State with a 16-0 victory in seven innings.”
“I was aware going into the seventh of having a no-hitter, but wasn’t aware of a perfect game,” Shemar Page said. “I did a pretty good job of getting ahead all night and that was my focus going into the seventh.”
“Grambling State (16-21 overall, 11-5 SWAC) led 5-0 through two innings, and used a seven-run third inning to pull away from the Braves.
“Page was in cruise control from the start, striking out the first two batters in the game. He retired four consecutive Alcorn State batters between the third and fourth innings in picking up his fifth victory over the season.”
With the above accolades he is working on his Master’s Degree in Physical Education. He received his BS from Louisiana Tech University.
