Werewolves Rally Late to Clip Long Beach

Jim Unknown picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jim Unknown suffered the loss. London now owns a record of 58-67.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the tenth. With London trailing 5-4, Mattox jumped on a fastball from 20-year old right-handed pitcher Jim Unknown and hit a 2-run home run to left-center. With one swing, the Werewolves had a walk-off win.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Long Beach manager Ron Kunkleman.
