After setting an A. L. record for the most scoreless innings in one game, the five-hour, five-minute marathon between the Athletics and the Angels came to an end in the 20th inning when Curt Blefary crossed the plate on a two-out single by Angel Mangual to give the A's a 1-0 victory. Blefary was hit by a pitch and stopped at second on a one-out single by Dick Green. After pinch-hitter Buddy Hunter struck out, Mangual broke up the game with his single. Vida Blue started for the A's, pitched 11 innings and struck out 17. Rudy May hurled the first 12 frames for the Angels and fanned 13. With relievers adding other victims, major league records were broken for most strikeouts by two clubs, 43, and most by one club, with 26 going down for the Angels. [The Sporting News] |
