Miller Has Grudge Ready To Meet MU
Larry Miller, KU's ace left-handed baseball pitcher, will be looking forward to facing the Missouri Tigers this weekend in Columbia. He will start the second game of the 3-game series.
"I have a grudge against MU," Miller said. "I pitched my worst game last year against them. I'll give it all I've got to win."
Miller, a junior from Topeka, was called the "hard-luck" pitcher for a while last season, but that changed when he pitched a no-hit, no-run game against Colorado May 4. The score was 7-0. He faced only 26 batters and struck out eight. He later was named an All Big Seven pitcher.
When he isn't pitching, he plays in the outfield. He said he doesn't mind the double-duty because it gives him a chance to play more ball, although he thinks it is hard on pitches to play the outfield.
Miller would like to play professional baseball after graduating from KU. He is majoring in architectural engineering, and he said he would have this to fall back upon after pro ball.
Strangely enough, he doesn't call this feat his biggest thrill in baseball. Instead he mentioned beating the Boeing Bombers, defending world semi-pro champions, in the national semi-pro tournament at Wichita as one of two "biggest thrills." He pitched for the D-X Oilers, who finished fifth in the tournament. The team finished second in the state tournament and Miller was named the Most Valuable Player.
This year Miller is KU's leading pitcher, record-wise, with three wins and no losses. Against Iowa State, defending Big Eight champs, he won one game and relieved in the second, which KU also won.
Miller's other big thrill came in the summer of 1957 when he set a record for strikeouts in the Canadian League when he blanked 18 batters. He played for the Moosejaw Mallards and won eight games while losing only two.
He pitched three years for Topeka High School and had a 6-1 record in his senior year when Topeka won the Border League.
