Pretty neat and a Win to boot.

I think it was a DH that day as well and they did play the second game. Might want to double check that but I think that is correct.

I only could find results going back to 1972.

32 innings in one day is brutal on a pitching staff.

The second game was only 7 innings. Back then, in the late 60s and early 70s, doubleheaders were two 7 inning games.
