Student wins $250K MLB2K13 Challenge by defeating three other players in a four-person tournament Tuesday at the MLB all-star fan-fest in New York City Javitz Center.

Justin Chavvarria of Eugene, Oregon had to pitch a perfect game in order to qualify for this tournament and now the college student wins the $250K MLB2K13 Challenge.

To be eligible for the tournament on Tuesday, you had to throw a perfect game during the period of April 1 to April 30 and this 21-year-old student wins the $250K MLB2K13 Challenge. The publisher of the game said they verified more than 2,500 perfect games and used an algorithm to rank perfect games based on degree of difficulty and perfection.

A perfect game is for a pitcher to pitch the full nine innings, recording 27 consecutive outs, thus not allowing a single base runner.

Chavvarria, a student at the University of Oregon told CNN that he played for 30 days to get ready and it helped out, who said he pitched the perfect game close to the end of the 30-day period.

"Just don't give up. I had plenty of times where I thought this was stupid and I ... (was) never going to get it," Chavvarria told CNN. "Just keep playing. I got mine in the last week. You just never know."

He used the Texas Rangers to wins the $250K in this special challenge.

"They've got guys who can hit home runs against lefties and righties," he said. "Their pitching is not bad." I hit a two-run home run in the first inning. That was a lot of pressure gone and I didn't have to worry about it as much (after that). Chavarria added a solo home run for the 3-1 victory.

Chavvarria said he used to pitch in high school and used that to his advantage to get to the MLB2K13 tournament.

"Yeah, it really helped a lot, like when to throw pitches in certain counts," he told CNN in an interview. "It is a video game, so you don't have to be a star athlete or a pitcher in the MLB. It helps to have that knowledge ... to know the art of pitching."

He said he will use the money to pay off student loans and other important payments. Chavvarria will also spoil himself, his dad and family.
