Christopher Ellis Pitches One-Hitter Against Lake Elsinore Storm

The Angels' third-round pick in the 2014 draft, Chris Ellis, pitched a one-hit shutout in the first game of a seven-inning double header for the Class A Advanced Inland Empire 66ers.

Yes, it was only seven innings, and Lake Elsinore is a pitcher's park in a hitter's league (making its environment roughly neutral in the larger context of all minor league ballparks), but it's still a fine achievement nonetheless. Christopher Ellis took a no-hitter into the seventh, finally surrendering a one-out line-drive double to Ryan Miller before closing out the inning with groundout and flyout to end the game.
