"1948 - Warren Spahn goes 14 innings to beat the Dodgers 2-1. Spahn picked off Jackie Robinson twice and allowed just five hits. Johnny Sain won 4-0 in the nightcap. The combo will start 11 of the next 16 games for the Braves. 1952 - Sid Gordon goes 5-for-8 as the Braves fall 7-6 in a 17-inning game one loss in a doubleheader. Robin Roberts tossed all 17 innings for Philadelphia."
"1916 - Ty Cobb takes over in the 10th inning for the Tigers against St. Louis. Cobb beats out an infield single, then steals second and advances to third on a low throw. He holds at third as Bobby Veach grounds out sharply to first baseman George Sisler, but then runs for home and scores ahead of the throw as Sisler jogs over to touch the first base bag. Detroit wins 4-3."
