High School Beat: Staff ace Ian Miller blanks Poly Prep as BCS improves to perfect 6-0
Berkeley Carroll School varsity baseball coach Walter Paller intimated just last week that staff ace Ian Miller was one of the best-kept secrets on the local high school baseball scene.
So much for the hard-throwing right-hander’s brief bout with obscurity.
Miller edged Poly Prep’s Phil Maldari during a classic pitchers’ duel in Bay Ridge on Monday afternoon, lifting the Lions to a 1-0 victory over the two-time defending New York State Independent School champions that gave them a perfect 6-0 start to their season.
“I’d say the cats out of the bag now with Ian,” Paller told the Eagle on Tuesday after BCS completed a grueling stretch against non-league opponents with an as-yet unblemished record entering their Athletic Conference of Independent Schools opener against Staten Island Academy.
