After playing 21 innings to a 3-3 tie in the previous night's suspended game, the Brewers needed only one more inning on the resumption of the contest to defeat the Twins, 4-3, Then, in the regularly-scheduled game that followed, the clubs went into overtime again with the Twins winning in 15 innings, 5-4. The suspended contest was decided in the 22nd inning when the Brewers scored the winning run on a single by Ron Theobald, sacrifice by Dave May and single by Mike Ferraro.

When the clubs returned to action, Ferraro almost was the hero again, hitting a homer in the 15th to break a 3-3 tie. However, in the Twins' half, Eric Soderholm grabbed the laurels, coming up after a walk to Jim Nettles and smashing a homer to win the game. The marathon efforts set an A. L. record for the most innings in two consecutive games by the same clubs. The former mark was 36 innings by the Red Sox and White Sox July 12-13, 1951. [The Sporting News]
