1919 NL - Games of Monday, 30 June
Braves 3, Giants 2: A two-out wild pitch brought the winning run across the plate in the bottom of the 16th inning, as Boston edged one from New York in a long afternoon's work at Braves Field. The visiting Giants led by two runs after five innings, Art Fletcher doubling home one in the 1st and Benny Kauff doing likewise in the 5th, and Red Causey carried that 2-0 lead intact through seven frames. Tony Boeckel led of the Boston 8th with a home run but, when Causey retired the first two men in the bottom of the 9th on routine ground balls, it looked like McGraw's men were going to see out the victory. But Walton Cruise and Jim Thorpe singled to give Walter Holke a chance to save the game with Cruise standing upon the second base. And save it he did, at least temporarily, with a humpbacked liner into left field that dropped in front of George Burns for a game-tying single. Ray Keating was doing heroic work on the hill for the Braves, pitching around seven walks to complete thirteen innings before being lifted for a pinch-hitter when Boston put a man on base thanks to an error in the home half of the 13th. Larry Doyle singled with one away in the top of the 15th, stole second and took third on Art Wilson's wild throw, but Doyle broke for home when Kauff followed with a ground ball to first and was thrown out at the plate by Holke. Wilson led off the bottom of the 15th with a walk against Joe Oeschger (0-2), the third NY pitcher of the day, and was moved to second base by a sacrifice from Braves relief pitcher Dana Fillingim (4-4). Joe Riggert followed with a dribbler in front of the plate that Mike Gonzalez hustled to chuck to first for the second out, but Wilson took third for what turned out to be a critical base. Buck Herzog was next to bat, but all he needed to do was watch as Oeschger's second delivery skipped wide of the dish and past Gonzalez - Wilson struck out for home plate and slid across before the Giants' catcher could retrieve the wayward pitch to end the longest game in the League thus far in the campaign. Ross Youngs had safe hits in eight trips to the plate for the Gothams, but NY managed only two hits in their fourteen attempts with runners in scoring position. [box]

(This game was played as part of The Splendid Splinter co-op project to replay Ted Williams' .406 season of 1941.)
The Yankees scored seven times in the 3rd inning and then, as if that had just been the warm-up to a cruel nine-act drama, piled on ten more in the 7th on their way to a 19-5 pummeling of the Red Sox that was also the scene of a major-league first.
