Friday, August 9th, 1957: Koecher Notches No-Hitter Against Tides
It was a game that all pitchers dream about: a no-hitter.

It happened today at Shock Ballpark.

Dick Koecher of the Toledo Mud Hens was right on target against the Norfolk Tides in his 2-0 victory. He really zeroed in on them, holding them hitless with 1 strikeout and 3 walks.

Koecher said he just had it all today, "very good stuff and great location, a combination that's hard to beat."

This season to date, Koecher has fashioned a 16-8 mark and 3.28 ERA in 228 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .240 against him and he has logged 69 strikeouts.

Sunday, August 4th, 1957: Ridin' High, Peete Hits for the Cycle
It was a special day for Charlie Peete. He hit for the cycle, belting out every kind of hit there is in a baseball game -- single, double, triple, home run. The Norfolk center fielder accomplished the rare feat during his team's 5-4 victory over the Buffalo Bisons.

He told the SION reporters at the postgame press conference, "I never even thought about hitting a cycle and whatta you know, I did it. The cycle really doesn't matter to me, it is the 4 hits and the win that are important. But I guess it will be nice to see my name listed in the record book."

Peete went 4-5 in the game.

C. Peete singled in the 2nd, grounded out in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off V. Lombardi in the 8th and tripled in the 10th.

Looking at his stats this year, Peete has compiled a .218 batting average, while hitting 8 home runs and driving in 36 runs. He has played in 106 games and scored 38 runs.
