 | Mills Spins No-Hitter Against Omaha Tuesday, June 27th , 2045 Honolulu Makos starter Chris Mills said he was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew: He was one out from a no-hitter. For a couple of seconds, he didn't move. "I took a breath and told myself 'This is the last one,'" Mills recalled. The right-hander collected himself, got the final out, and finished one of the greatest performances of his career. The Honolulu right-hander no-hit the Omaha Buffaloes, 7-0, at Ballpark of Albuquerque, finishing with 1 walks and 9 strikeouts, facing only 28 batters. "I knew for a while it was a no-hitter," Mills admitted later. "But I really didn't worry about it until the last out. I thought I just wanted to win the game, and then I realized I wanted the no-hitter, too." Thus far this season, Mills has worked 101.2 innings with 77 strikeouts en route to a 8-7 record and a 4.07 ERA. |   |
