Necciai is best remembered for the unique feat of striking out 27 batters in a nine-inning game, which he accomplished in the Class-D Appalachian League on May 13, 1952. He is the only pitcher ever to do so in a nine-inning, professional-league game.

You want these guys to go all out for one inning (10-25 pitches) and secure the win. ... The closer is usually your best relief pitcher.
