MERIDIAN —

    Southeast Lauderdale starting pitcher Jake Miller threw a no-hitter Thursday night, helping the Tigers defeat Newton High School 20-0.

    Miller (2-0) pitched five innings, walking four batters and striking out eight Newton batters on the night. The no-hitter was Miller's first in his time with Southeast.

    “He was throwing his breaking pitch for a strike tonight,” Southeast Lauderdale head coach Shay Cooper said of Miller. “He was able to keep them off-balanced, and our defense was able to make plays behind him as well.

    “I'm not sure he was aware of it or not,” Cooper said. “Offensively the game was out of hand, so people were kind of relaxed. It was a real relaxed atmosphere, and he just kept doing his job on the mound.”

    Southeast was equally as strong at the plate, tallying 18 hits on the night. Josh Litchfield led the Tigers with three hits, including two triples and a double. Zach Sciple, Gage Hagan, Dillon Rivers, Mason Irby, Hunter Thrower and Nathan Ross all had multiple hits for Southeast. Rivers accounted for five RBIs on the night.

    Southeast moves to 4-3 with the win and will travel to Newton County on Saturday at 4 p.m.

Slive focused on future after big changes
Mike Slive sprawls in a comfy arm chair, propping his feet on a coffee table between one massive tome on Winston Churchill and an even thicker "Encyclopedia of Southern Culture."
He's relaxed and feeling awfully good about the state of the Southeastern Conference.
It's a rare moment of calm for the SEC's cerebral commissioner, but he can afford it since his "A pile" of things to do has gotten considerably slimmer over the past two years.
