The Rats Gaylord Perry became the 1st pitcher in SPB-1 history to get his 3,000 strikeout on 4/22/1979 vs the Canton Moondogs.

Congrats again to Joe.....pretty cool stuff..His Teammate Tom Seaver should join him in the club sometime in 1980. 4/22/1979, FLU79-CAN79, Cleveland Municipal Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1979 Rats 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 1 1 5 9 0 4 1 1979 Moondogs 0 0 0 6 0 2 2 0 x 10 8 0 2 1 Rats AB R H BI AVG Moondogs AB R H BI AVG Mazzilli cf 3 1 1 1 .333 Smalley ss 3 2 1 0 .288 Sizemore 2b 4 1 1 1 .143 Thon ss 0 0 0 0 .000 Madlock 3b 4 0 0 0 .000 Maddox,E 3b 3 1 1 0 .346 Bench c 4 1 2 1 .250 Lansford ph 1 0 0 0 .222 Ford,Dan rf 4 0 1 1 .167 Carter c 4 1 1 3 .257 Zisk lf 4 1 2 0 .286 Aikens 1b 3 1 1 0 .222 Perez 1b 3 0 1 0 .167 Thomas,G ph 1 1 1 2 .353 Campaneris ss 2 1 1 0 .500 Roenicke cf 1 2 0 0 .192 Pruitt ph 1 0 0 0 .000 Clark,J rf 3 1 1 2 .277 Jefferson p 0 0 0 0 .000 Robertson 1b 1 0 0 0 .000 Bell,K ph 1 0 0 1 .000 Morrison 2b 0 0 0 0 .167 Perry p 1 0 0 0 .000 Baker,D lf 4 1 1 3 .102 Lacey p 0 0 0 0 .000 Gantner 2b 3 0 1 0 .355 Macha,K ph 1 0 0 0 .000 Putman,E ph 0 0 0 0 .000 Bird p 0 0 0 0 .000 Rooker p 4 0 0 0 .000 Metzger ph 2 0 0 0 .000 31 10 8 10 34 5 9 5 Rats INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Perry L 0-1 3.1 4 6 6 3 1 65 38 16.20 Lacey 0.2 0 0 0 0 2 11 8 0.00 Bird 2.0 2 2 2 1 1 38 26 6.75 Jefferson 2.0 2 2 2 1 0 29 16 9.00 8.0 8 10 10 5 4 143 88 Moondogs INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Rooker W 3-1 9.0 9 5 5 1 5 125 82 2.68 9.0 9 5 5 1 5 125 82
