A '''perfect game''' is a game in which a pitcher (or combination of pitchers) throws a full nine-inning game without allowing a single opposing batter on base. This differs from a no-hitter, in that the pitcher(s) may not allow any walks or hit batsmen. By definition, a perfect game will also be a [[shutout]], meaning a game where the opposing team scores no runs.
