16 Ks for Unknown, Beats Myrtle Beach 3-0
Friday, May 17th , 2024
Everything was working for Jim Unknown at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The sinker was working.
In an unforgettable performance, the 22-year-old Unknown fanned 16 Pelicans and sparked the 3-0 Charleston RiverDogs victory over Myrtle Beach. He left Pelicans hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it.
"I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Charleston manager . "His location and command were really something."
In addition to collecting 16 strikeouts over 7 innings, Unknown allowed 3 hits and 1 walk in a superlative outing.
"I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Unknown said with a smile.
