Minor League Perfect Games

A perfect game at any level is pretty amazing.

I stumbled across a few of these and decided to make a list. I'm sure its incomplete. Any additions are very much appreciated.

I have read that DeRose's 1947 perfect game was the first in all of OB since Charles Robertson's ML game (1922).

6-26-47 Carl DeRose (AA) KC vs. Minn (5-0)
6-23-56 John Herbert (NYPENN) Erie vs. Hornell (?score?)
6-11-59 Ron Bloodworth (III) Fox City vs. Green Bay (3-0)
6- 1-67 Percival Ford (FLA) W. Palm Beach vs. Ft. Lauderdale (1-0)
7-18-68 Ed Phillips (CAR) Win-Sal vs. Rocky Mt. (3-0)
6-12-70 Leonardo Ferguson (MEX) Campeche vs. Puerto Mex (2-0)
8- 4-70 Chip Swanson (SOUTHERN) Montgomery vs. Alabama (3-0)
6-18-71 Mike Ruddell (EASTERN) Three Rivers vs. Pawtcuket (1-0) (9 1/3 Perfect inns)
4-18-73 Steve Hardin (CAR) Wislon vs. Win-Sal (?score?)
6- 6-75 Marc Bombard (FL ST) Tamps vs. Lakeland (1-0)
7-21-78 Horacio Pena (MEX) Aguascalientes vs. Mex City Reds (3-0)
8-12-78 Marty Bystrom (CAR) Peninsula vs. Win-Sal (3-0)
7-14-79 Jamie Easterly (AA) Denver vs. Iowa (10-0)
5- 5-83 David Wilhelmi (TEX) Shreveport vs. Arkansas (7-0)
8- 3-83 Randy Ramirez (CAL) Bakersfield vs. Stockton (1-0)
4- 9-89 Dennis Burlingame (CAR) Durham vs. Frederick (4-0)
8-13-96 Rick Helling (AA) OK City v. Nashville (4-0)
9- 6-96 Keith Ramsey (CAR) Kinston vs. Myrtle Beach (6-0)
6- 1-00 Tomo Ohka (IL) Pawtucket vs. Charlotte (2-0)
7- 7-01 John Halama (PCL) Tacoma vs. Calgary (6-0)
4- 7-03 John Wasdin (PCL) Nashville vs Albuquerque (4-0)
8- 9-03 Bronson Arroyo (IL) Pawtucket vs. Buffalo (7-0)
6-25-07 Manny Parra (PCL) Nashville vs. Round Rock (3-0)
7-15-07 Guillermo Moscoso (NYPENN) Oneonta vs. Batavia (6-0)

I attended a perfect game in Clinton, Iowa, in 2000. Scott Dunn for the Clinton Lumberkings, vs. Lansing, in the Midwest League. Also, in 1952, Ron Necciai struck out all 27 batters he faced, pitching for Bristol vs. Welch in the Appalachian League.

Thanks jtur.

I found these Midwest Lg. Perfectos as well

7- 2-61 Dennis Ribant (MID) Quad Cities vs. Clinton
7-21-75 Abelino Pena (MID) Burlington vs. Cedar Rapids
7-25-85 Bob Link (MID) Waterloo vs. Clinton
8- 3-00 Scott Dunn (MID) Clinton vs. Lansing
6-30-04 Chris Coughlin (MID) Burlington vs. Beloit

Necciai's 27 K no-hitter was marred by a walk, a HBP, an error and a batter reaching first on a strikeout. One batter grounded out.

In his next game he threw a 2-hitter with 24 K's.

Funny that a 27 K outing wasn't even close to perfect.

I wonder if the catcher dropped a third strike on purpose, after the ground out, to re-enable the 27-k?

It's interesting how few of those pitchers ever got into the Majors.
