Q: This right handed pitcher spent just one season in the majors. In 1952, with the Pittsburgh Pirates, he went 1-6 with an ERA of 7.08. But his claim to fame came in a minor league game. Before being called up to the parent club, he was pitching for the Bristol Twins which was the Bucs Class-D farm team. On May 13 he threw a no-hitter against the Welch Miners. AND he struck out 27 batters. Four men reached base: a walk, a HBP, an error, and a passed ball after a strikeout. Only two men put the ball in play: the error and a ground out.
Who was he?
A: Ron Necciai
