RICHMOND COUNTY, Ga. () – Sheriff Eugene Brantley and the Command Staff of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office are proud to formally recognize 4 outstanding members of the department whose extraordinary actions and commitment to public service have made a lasting impact on our community. Deputy Martin Perez and Corporal Brandon Kennedy were honored for their swift and life-saving actions on March 29, 2025, at approximately 2:00 AM. The two responded to a call on the 3000 block of Deans Bridge Road regarding an overdose victim. Upon arrival, they found a male, William Marciall, unresponsive with no pulse despite being administered Narcan. Deputy Perez immediately began CPR, with Corporal Kennedy assisting.

Pérez shines in his Chicago debut with 6 hitless innings in White Sox's 9-0 romp over Twins
Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) — Martin Perez figured he had enough left to remain in the game a little longer. He also knew he couldn't go the distance. The veteran left-hander threw six no-hit innings and tied a career high with nine strikeouts in a sparkling Chicago debut, helping the White Sox roll past the Minnesota Twins 9-0 on Monday. 'They asked me how I feel,' Pérez said. 'I told them I feel great. But I was honest, too. I mean, there's no way I could go three more innings. It's too early. It's a long season.' Pérez began his afternoon by getting Byron Buxton to ground out on the game's first pitch. He ended it by catching Ty France looking at a 2-2 cutter. Pérez threw 93 pitches and walked three. He retired the first 11 batters before walking Ryan Jeffers and hitting France on the next pitch, but got out of that jam when he caught Jose Miranda looking at a 3-2 cutter. Pérez kept the Twins off balance with cutters, sinkers, changeups and curves. He consistently hit the corners, but never hit 90 mph. 'I don't have the velocity anymore, but I know how to pitch, I know how to move the ball,' he said. The Twins' only hits were singles by Willi Castro and Jeffers in the seventh and eighth against Mike Vasil in his major league debut. Pérez, who turns 34 on Friday, was an All-Star with Texas in 2022 and helped the Rangers win the World Series the following year. He pitched for Pittsburgh and San Diego last season before signing a $5 million, one-year contract with Chicago in January. The White Sox sure will take more performances like this. Pérez joined Boston's Hideo Nomo in 2001 as the only major leaguers since 1901 to toss six or more hitless innings while striking out at least nine while debuting with a new team. 'That's Martín. He knows how to pitch,' said White Sox manager Will Venable, Boston's bench coach in 2021 when Pérez was with the Red Sox. 'I've seen it a lot. To have him continue this nice run of starting pitching was great.' Through four games, the White Sox have a a 0.75 ERA. Their starters have combined for 23 innings without an earned run, the longest stretch to start a season in franchise history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The previous mark was 21 in 1947. Chicago also matched Toronto in 2019, San Francisco in 2013 and Milwaukee in 1976 for the longest season-opening streak in the major leagues since 1913, according to Elias. The terrific outing by Pérez comes on the heels of a stellar showing by the starters in the season-opening series against the Los Angeles Angels. Rookie Sean Burke went six scoreless innings in an opening day win, and though the White Sox dropped the next two games, the starters did their job. Jonathan Cannon tossed five shutout innings in Saturday's 1-0 loss, and Davis Martin allowed two unearned runs in six innings on Sunday. 'I think it's really awesome when you're out there in the bullpen and all the starters are doing what they're doing,' Vasil said. 'It's very, very impressive. Obviously, as a pitcher on this staff, you want to be known as a team with a great pitching staff. So far, I think that's exactly what we have. So that's definitely a positive, positive thing.' ___ AP MLB: recommended

Pérez tosses 6 hitless innings in his Chicago debut as the White Sox pound the Twins 9-0
Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) — Martin Perez threw six hitless innings in a sparkling Chicago debut, and the White Sox pounded the Minnesota Twins 9-0 on Monday. Andrew Vaughn and Andrew Benintendi hit three-run homers in the first and second innings. Michael A. Taylor made it 9-0 with a two-run drive in the third against Twins starter Chris Paddock (0-1), sending the White Sox to an easy win after they lost two of three in their season-opening series against the Los Angeles Angels. The Twins' only hits were singles by Willi Castro in the seventh against Mike Vasil and Ryan Jeffers in the eighth. They fell to 0-4 following a sweep at St. Louis, their worst start since the 2016 team dropped its first nine games. Pérez (1-0) threw 93 pitches while tying a career high with nine strikeouts and walking three. The left-hander retired the first 11 batters before walking Jeffers.

He pitched for Pittsburgh and San Diego last season before signing a $5 million, one-year contract with Chicago in January. Vasil retired the first two batters in the seventh before Castro singled. Paddack got tagged for nine runs in 3 1/3 innings. Key moment Vaughn set the tone when he connected after Miguel Vargas led off the first with a single and Luis Robert Jr. walked. His line drive to left-center just cleared the wall. Robert hit a sacrifice fly in the second before Benintendi made it 7-0 with a three-run drive to right for his second homer this season and 100th of his career. Key stat White Sox starters have not allowed an earned run through a franchise-record 23 innings. The previous mark to start a season was 21 in 1947, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
