Senior right hander Tyler Thompson tossed a complete game Thursday night in pitching Perry past Ballard 6-2 at historic NiteHawk Field in Slater.  Thompson went the distance allowing just a pair of unearned runs in the second inning.  The Bluejays gave him plenty of offense in the fifth when they sent eight batters to the plate.  Will Whiton deliverd a one out, 2-run double past a six player infield as Ballard brought their right fielder in to play a shallow third to defend against the squeeze play.  Whiton made them pay by smoking one past the left side and into the vacant left field.  Zach Roberts later added a two out 2-run single giving Perry a 5-2 lead.  Roberts finished with 3 hits including a double.  Ben Daniels and Jeremiah Ellett added an insurance run in the 6th when Ellett brought home Daniels after a 2-out triple by Ben.

Thompson was dominant once again keeping Ballard off balance with location and an effective curveball.  Thompson improves to 3-1 on the season.  The loss was the first in conference for Ballard (3-1).  Perry will travel to Atlantic for the Trojan tourney on Saturday.  Perry will play Coon Rapids Bayard.
