Friday May 12, 1972
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Brewers and Twins battled 21 innings to a 3-3 tie in a game that was suspended because of the league's 1 a.m. (local time) curfew. The contest was completed prior to the next day's regularly-scheduled game.

After pinch-hitter Tommie Reynolds drove in two runs for the Brewers with a bases-loaded single in the seventh to tie the score, the clubs exchanged ciphers through the remainder of the three-hour, 35-minute marathon. [The Sporting News]
