SAN DIEGO— San Diego's
Jake Miller threw the first no-hitter for the Toreros since 2008, to lead the Toreros over Monmouth, 7-0.
Miller (1-0) added his first win of the season to his outstanding performance. The sophomore right-hander struck out 10 and walked two for San Diego (7-2) on his way to the record books, holding a perfect game through seven innings.
It was the first no-no for San Diego since Josh Romanski (Mar. 24, 2008 vs Harvard).
Thomas Luevano led the way offensively for the Toreros, going 3-for-3 in the ballgame with a double and an RBI.
Caleb Ricketts provided a standout performance as well, with a two-run triple while
Will Worthington also chipped in, with a two-run triple of his own.
The Toreros first put runs on the board in the second when Worthington tripled off of junior Dan Klepchick, plating two for USD.
The Toreros then tacked on runs in the sixth and seventh innings, with their biggest output coming in the seventh when they scored four times.
The big hit in that inning was a two-run triple off the bat of Ricketts.
Miller was helped by outstanding defensive plays by the Toreros including back-to-back diving catches in the eighth inning by left fielder
Tora Otsuka and center fielder
Camden Vasquez to preserve the no-no.
The Toreros are back in action on Saturday for the second game of their weekend series with Monmouth. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. PT at Fowler Park.
