12-year-old pitches perfect game June 4, 2009

He reached the milestone before Cole Hamels had the chance.

12-year-old Colby Gage, a pitcher for his Little League in Adams, Mass., struck out 18 consecutive batters to secure a perfect game.

While a milestone, this article from News 10 in Massachussetts says Little Leagues don’t generally track such records, but it says the event of pitchers’ striking out all batters could happen “a few times a year.”

Regardless, buy this kid a drink. (Not that I condone underage drinking whatsoever.)
