MINORS FINAL 5/17: Bethancourt walkoff HR; Cunniff remains unbeaten

The win Saturday for Mississippi went to reliever Brandon Cunniff, his first since his promotion. But Cunniff's professional record is nothing short of amazing. Counting a win earlier this year at Lynchburg, he is 2-0 for 2014 with three saves in 13 appearances.

Since being signed by the Braves, Cunniff is 3-0 in 33 appearances, and since turning pro in 2010, he has pitched in 144 games, amassed 33 saves and is 12-0. That's correct; he has never tasted defeat as a professional. His career ERA, FYI, is 1.64.
