LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — San Francisco Giants prospect Domenic Mazza pitched the first nine-inning perfect game in South Atlantic League history Tuesday, a 9-0 win for the Class-A Augusta GreenJackets at Lexington.

The 22-year-old left-hander who attended high school outside San Francisco in Concord struck out nine and threw 85 pitches, 60 for strikes.

Mazza (1-2, 3.48 ERA) was a 22nd-round pick by the Giants in the 2015 amateur draft out of Santa Barbara.
