In the minor leagues that was Ron Necciai of the 1952 Bristol Twins who struck out 27 batters in a no-hitter against the Welsh Miners in an Appalachian League game. In MLB that was Nolan Ryan of the 1973 California Angels who struck out 17 batters in a no hitter against the Detroit Tigers.
That's impossible there are only 3 outs in one inning retard!! If the ball gets by the catcher on a 3rd strike, the batter can run to 1st base. Several pitchers have struck out 4 batters that way, so now who is the "retard?" So the answer is still: Brad Penny, who did it on September 22, 2006.
I DO NOT KNOW, HOWEVER I DO KNOW HE STRUCK OUT 10 BATTERS IN A ROW IN A GAME IN 1970....THATS INCREDIBLE.
