Snappers Spellbound, Unknown Hurls No-Hitter Sunday, July 28th , 2024 In a true baseball rarity, Jim Unknown of the Dayton Dragons no-hit the Beloit Snappers at Day Air Ballpark and -- incredibly -- still took the loss. The right-handed Unknown shackled the Snappers all game, allowing no hits over 9 innings. However, Beloit was able to cobble together enough through other means to outscore the hapless Dragons offense and take an unlikely 1-0 win. "There's no getting around it, we mucked it up for Jim today," Dayton manager said. "We always tell them 'Go out there and pitch a good game and we'll take care of the rest.' Well, he gave us an incredible game and we blew it, plain and simple." A visibly upset Unknown declined to speak with BNN reporters following the game. He recorded 9 strikeouts and surrendered 4 walks in a sensational performance that will nevertheless go into the league record books as a loss. |
