Former Kernel O'Sullivan throws Triple-A no-hitter

Didn't even know Sean O'Sullivan was back in Triple-A. He'd pitched well for the Los Angeles Angels (3-0 record, 3.72 ERA).

At any rate, he threw a no-hitter for Salt Lake on Tuesday night at Sacramento. Only a walk spoiled what would have been a perfect game. He struck out seven.

"Guys kept telling me the real struggle will be when you go back down to the minors to get really focused for the games," O'Sullivan, 21, told www.minorleaguebaseball.com. "You really got to dig deep and find a way to get yourself amped up.

"My whole [mind-set] right now is to just keep giving them a reason to bring me back up. And I had a little extra focus in me tonight because of my grandma."

O'Sullivan's grandmother, Rose, passed away Sunday. This was quite a tribute to her.
