Thanks for the help. I changed my code up and it is doing what I had intended, however, it is picking up the first line of DOUBLE PLAYS. Any suggestions would be appreaciated. 
open(INPUT,"c:/MLB_boxscore.TXT") or die "Can't open file";
print "<html><head><title>My page</title></head><body>";
print "<table>";
$pitching = 0;
while(<INPUT>) {
    if($pitching) {
        last if /^[A-Z]+$/;    
        chomp;
        @LS = ();
        push @LS, split('\|',$_);
        print "<tr>"; 
            print "<td>" . $LS[$_] . "</td>" for (1..$#LS);
        print "</tr>";
        
      }  
           elsif(/^PITCHING/) {
           $pitching = 1}
        
}

print "</table></body></html>";
close INPUT;
