perfect games

Twenty-seven consecutive outs

Perfect games are rare achievements in baseball where a pitcher faces the minimum 27 batters over nine innings, allowing no one to reach base—no hits, no walks, no errors.

The term extends to bowling, where a perfect game means 12 consecutive strikes for a score of 300.

In video gaming, a perfect game typically means completing a level or match without taking damage: I finally got a perfect game on that boss fight.
