Senior Ethan Miller, a 6'4" right-hander for La Jolla, spun a no-hitter against Mar Vista Wed., March 8. The Vikings won, 1-0, on a single run in the bottom of the third inning. Miller made it stand up with a shutout, besides the no-hitter.
He threw 62 pitches in a complete-game effort to put the Vikings' record at 3-2.
Forty-three of the senior's offerings went for strikes, with 20 out of 22 first-pitch strikes.
The only Mariner who got on base, senior Myles Sanchez, hitting in the seventh spot, was by a hit-by-pitch in the top of the third.
Without the hit batsman, Miller would have had a perfect game.
"Ethan was outstanding today," said LJHS coach Gary Frank. "He had command of all three of his pitches, and kept Mar Vista off-balance all game long."
Observed Frank, "We have always known Ethan possessed the talent and ability to do great things on the field.
"We are really proud of how well he was able to put it all together today."
