Welcome back!
I can only think of one game where I realized we might be going for El Perfecto. This was about 10 years ago, I think at the ASA state tournament, either 16U or 18U. The pitcher was Molly Hill, who would go on to pitch at the University of Nebraska after posting a 0.00 ERA in her senior year of HS ball.
It was the same deal: one batter to establish the width of my zone, and then 90% strikes from then on. In the 4th inning, I asked my partner if he'd been off the 1B line yet. He said "nope" and we did not speak again the rest of the game. 6 inning run rule perfect game, 18 batters faced, 15 or 16 strikeouts.
