Danny Almonte, pitching for the Bronx Little League entry, the Rolando Paulino All-Stars, hurls the first perfect game since 1957 in the Little League World Series, beating the eventual winner, Apopka, FL, 2 – 0. The Bronx team will win the following week, but all the victories will be stripped from them when an investigation proves a number of rules infractions, not the least of which is that Almonte is too old. His brother, who pitched the previous year, will also be shown to be too old.
