A 13-year-old baseball player from Northern California pitched a perfect game at the Cal Ripken World Series in Maine.
Elk Grove's Jacob Trujillo is part of the Laguna Youth Baseball All-Stars, and he shut down the team's opponent, striking out 13 while not allowing a baserunner and surprising everyone in attendance.
He said those 13 strikeouts came with a lot of hard work and added the team had to practice about 15 hours a week for the last three months.
Practicing became harder due to an injury, the 13-year-old said.

"It was not too long ago I actually hurt my arm from pitching too much, so we let it rest and we got it stronger," said Jacob, who is the nephew of NBC Bay Area reporter Damian Trujillo. "It was just this year coming back that was the real start for me to start pitching and work my way back up."
Trujillo is going out with a bang collecting a trophy, a ring and other medals.
The Laguna Youth Baseball star now is hoping to get to the big leagues.
