Former Baseball Factory Player Throws Perfect Game
Baseball Factory would like to congratulate Will Roberts for throwing a perfect game. Will's perfect game was only the eighth ever in NCAA Division I history. Roberts came through the Baseball Factory in 2006 where he attended an Under Armour Baseball Factory National Tryout in Richmond, VA before going on to the University of Virginia.

Righty tosses perfecto for top-ranked Virginia
Will Roberts, a junior right-hander for the University of Virginia pitched the eighth nine-inning perfect game in NCAA Division I history (since 1957) on Tuesday, leading the top-ranked Cavaliers to a 2-0 win over George Washington in Charlottesville, Va.
The Richmond, Va., native needed just 98 pitches to record 27 straight outs, earning the first Division I perfecto since Auburn's Eric Brandon beat Murray State in 2002. Roberts' feat was the second perfect game in ACC history, and the first Maryland's Dick Reitz in 1959.
Roberts dominated the Colonials' lineup with 10 strikeouts to tie his career high. He recorded 14 groundouts and three flyouts, with only one ball leaving the infield, a fifth-inning fly ball to right field by Tyler McCarthy.
