No-Hitter Tossed by White Sox Pitching Prospect

White Sox prospect Levi Maxwell pitched a seven inning no-hitter Friday in the Carolina League.

Chicago's high Class A affiliate, the Winston-Salem Dash, beat the Wilmington Blue Rocks 4-0 Friday.

Just three Wilmington batters got the ball out of the infield in the first game of a doubleheader. Maxwell walked three, but picked off two runners at first base, and the third was caught trying to steal second.

The right-hander from Morgantown, W.Va., is 2-8 with an ERA of 4.82 in his second season of pro ball. Maxwell went 15-5 with a 3.47 ERA in 26 appearances with Kannapolis in the low Class A South Atlantic League in 2008.

Maxwell was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 18th round of the 2007 draft.
