The game began on a Friday night and was played at Milwaukee’s County Stadium. It was scoreless through nine innings, and then each team scored a run in the 10th inning. The game continued into the early morning hours of Saturday, with neither team able to score again until the bottom of the 13th inning, when the Brewers finally broke through with two runs to take a 3-1 lead.
The White Sox tied the game in the top of the 14th inning, but the Brewers scored two more runs in the bottom of that inning to retake the lead. The see-saw battle continued back and forth until finally, in the top of the 33rd inning, Chicago scored three runs to take an 18-17 lead. Milwaukee was unable to score in their half of that inning, and so the game ended with a final score of 18-17 in favor of the White Sox.
Interestingly, both teams used position players as pitchers during extra innings (a rule that has since been changed), and both teams had future Hall-of-Famers on their rosters: Robin Yount for Milwaukee and Harold Baines for Chicago. In all, 11 pitchers were used by each team during this record-setting contest.
