#TBT: Davis’ bunt spoiled Schilling’s perfecto

It has been 15 years since Ben Davis bunted for a hit against Curt Schilling with one out in the eighth inning on May 26, 2001, spoiling the pitcher’s bid at a perfect game at Qualcomm Stadium. The bunt infuriated the D-backs because they claimed it broke one of baseball’s unwritten rules. Davis disagreed. He bunted because Arizona had only a two-run lead against the Padres and by reaching base he brought the tying run to the plate.
