you are only showing the date of the ball in the photo.  also, I do not know of anyone in the majors that struck out 15 in 5 innings.

I did some searching too. but found nothing Will.  Would be cool to know just who signed this though.  It is probably not a Minor leaguer is my guess.   Since we cant find any records of this.

The Ron Necciai record is quite nefarious, though. His catcher made two mistakes (a passed ball and a dropped pop foul) that ensured Necciai would have a chance at 27 Ks in the game. The team had a groundout, but Necciai's catcher intentionally dropped the ball AND, in the ninth inning, he had a passed ball on a strikeout, which allowed Necciai an extra out (to offset the groundout) to try for 27 Ks. It's a nice bit of trivia, but realistically, he should have had 25 Ks, not 27.
