Covington Astros 6 Bristol Tigers 0
August 22, 1973

A few interesting notes about this one; foremost being I guess that Aloi was not yet eighteen when he pitched this game. He would turn 18 on October 3. The no-hitter was not only his greatest victory as a professional, it was also his first. The Covington Virginian, in its article the following day, quoted Aloi as saying on the postgame radio show (!) that he had actually pitched a perfect game earlier in the year before the Astros had signed him out of American Legion ball. The following year, Aloi was 3 - 6 with a 3.97 for the Midwest League Dubuque Packers, but would then lead the Midwest League in ERA for the Packers in 1975 with a 1.69. Aloi kinda stalled out at AA Columbus over the following three years, with losing records despite solid if not spectacular ERA's. In '78, he reached his high water point when he pitched briefly for AAA Charleston, after going 5- 1 with a 3.25 at Columbus. He closed out his career in the Mexican League in 1979, and ended up with a lifetime 34 - 50 record.
