He was on fire and fanned 16 Machines en route to a 3-2 victory. Unknown shackled POS Portal on 3 hits and gave up no walks in an outstanding performance.
"That's as good as I've ever seen him throw," his manager said. "I've never seen so many bad swings in my life. These guys didn't have a chance."
Unknown had very little to say to after the game. "We won and that's the bottom line. I had a good game. And we beat POS Portal."
The POS Portal manager wasn't too happy with the game. "He pitched a very good game. You have to tip your cap to him."
