Ron Necciai pitched for Bristol before joining the Pittsburgh Pirates. On May 13, 1952 Necciai
struck out 27 batters while throwing a 7–0
no-hitter against the
Welch Miners. Four of the Welch hitters did reach base, including one runner each via a
walk, an
error, a
hit batsman and a
passed ball charged to Twins'
catcher Harry Dunlop on a swinging third strike. This resulted in a four-strikeout ninth inning. In his next start Necciai threw a 24-strikeout two-hitter, posting a 4-0 record with a 0.42
earned run average and 109 strikeouts in 43 innings of work. ==Sources==
