June 10, 200322 yr White Sox prospect Brian Miller tossed a seven-inning no-hitter for Kannapolis in the first game of a doubleheader against Greensboro on Tuesday. Miller, 20, has a power arsenal and was ranked as the White Sox No. 16 prospect heading into the season. Before the no-hitter, he had been rocked this year, as he entered the game with a 4-4, 7.30 record, while surrendering 60 hits and 24 walks in 49 innings. He fanned seven and walked four, and may have received a helping hand from the hometown scorekeeper in the seventh inning. Greensboro third baseman Tom Merkle hit a ground ball deep into the hole at short, where Andy Gonzalez made a tough play and throw off of one knee to pull the first baseman off the bag. It was ruled an error instead of an infield hit. Miller, drafted in the 20th round last year out of a Michigan high school, pitches between 88-93 mph. He went 7-3, 4.30 in 13 starts for Rookie-level Bristol last season after signing in June. Miller slid to the 20th round because teams were scared off by his commitment to Michigan State.
