fans at masterpiece against the Wiesbaden Vikings. The red-hot Kansas City Athletics won by a final score of 9 to 1. Peters was just too much for tension was mounting with every inning after the 6th. Peters appeared oblivious himself to the mounting history until two were out in the 9th. Only then, did he allow himself one deep sigh and a slow trip around the mound. Peters whiffed an impressive total of 12 City had a total of 13 hits for the game. The losing pitcher was Mike McCormick(3-13). He pitched 1 and 2/3 innings giving up 4 hits and 1 walk. Peters was in a jubilant mood after the game. 'If I'd known I was going to throw a no hitter I would have gotten a haircut!' he said, much to the delight of the clubhouse gathering. |
1961Rookie Hurler Don Schwall of the expansion Atlantic City Diamond Aces pitched the ninth no hitter in AARBL history when he shut down the Des Moines Dusters 4-0.

Pappas(8-9) pitched a rare no-hitter as the Carolina Grays toppled the
Pappas was spectacular.
He walked 2
and coaches started to leave Pappas alone with his thoughts after the game
reached the 7th inning. By the time the 9th inning rolled around, you could
hear a pin drop every time he went to his wind-up - and an explosion after
every out.
Robin Roberts(8-15) took the loss. He gave up 6 hits and 1 walk in 8 innings.
'Pappas made us look bad' Chris McMurry said. 'I've seen a lot of good
performances in my time and this one will be tucked away in my memory bank
for a long time to come' b-0

History was made in Potomac as Robin Roberts(3-1) tossed a no-hitter and the
Potomac Fighting Dems defeated the Kansas City Athletics by the score of 5 to
0.
Roberts had an evening to remember. Heck, it's one we'll all remember! What a
game at Griffith Stadium! He walked 3 Kansas City batters. What an evening
for the fans. They were on the edge of their seats from the 7th inning on.
With every out, the electricity in the air mounted. Potomac totaled 10 on
the night.
Jim Owens(4-1) was given the loss. He gave up 5 runs and 10 hits in 7
innings. 'You probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than this
happening,' said Roberts, 'I don't expect it to sink in for awhile,' he said.
'I'm numb right now, I'm overwhelmed.'
1956Phase 8 Phase of the 1956 season produced the sixth no-hitter in AARBL history. It was thrown by Lew Burdette of the Des Moines Duster against the Carolina Grays on August 4, 1956 in an 8-0 Des Moines win.

Lew Burdette(12-11)
thrilled the fans at Memorial Stadium as he crafted a
no-hit masterpiece against the
floundering Carolina Grays. The Des
Moines
Dusters won by a final score of 8 to 0.
Burdette was obviously at the top of his game as he set
the Carolina batters
down like so many dominoes. He only walked one Carolina batter. The tension
was mounting with every inning
after the 6th. Burdette appeared
oblivious
himself to the mounting history
until two were out in the 9th. Only
then,
did he allow himself one deep
sigh and a slow trip around the mound.
Des
Moines rapped out 8 hits for the night.
Don Kaiser(3-12) took the loss.
After the game, Burdette was heard to say,
'This is something I have dreamt about since I was a
little boy - to have it
come true is just amazing!'
Phase one of the 1956 season produced the fifth no-hitter in AARBL history. It was thrown by Connie Johnson of the Butte Stompers against the Alexandria Rock Hounds on April 11, 1956 in a 9-0 Butte win.
