Was playing a series with the Robbers who granted were playing a lot of stiffs to both get needed at bats and save at bats for others but the Robbers went 14 innings before they got a base hit (single by Billy Gardner)! I wasn't even paying attention and was on my fourth pitcher before the first hit. I eventually won it 1-0 in the 17th inning on an RBI single by Wes Covington. The Robbers finished with three hits. 9/24/1959, MAS59-RIV59, game 1, Yankee Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1959 Tigers 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1959 Robbers 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13 14 15 16 17 R H E LOB DP 1959 Tigers 0 0 0 0 1 1 9 1 7 1 1959 Robbers 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 1 7 3 Tigers AB R H BI AVG Robbers AB R H BI AVG Blasingame 2b 7 1 2 0 .229 Lynch cf 7 0 0 0 .208 Nieman rf 2 0 1 0 .262 Gardner 2b 6 0 1 0 .224 Kuenn ph 5 0 0 0 .358 Blaylock G pr 0 0 0 0 .300 Kaline cf 6 0 1 0 .296 Morgan J 2b 1 0 0 0 .100 Covington lf 7 0 2 1 .272 Boyd 1b 7 0 0 0 .268 Lopez 3b 7 0 0 0 .259 Klaus ss 5 0 0 0 .269 Smith Hal R. c 5 0 0 0 .302 Williams B rf 6 0 0 0 .138 Power 1b 5 0 1 0 .255 Goryl 3b 5 0 0 0 .175 Fernandez ss 1 0 1 0 .168 Howard F lf 4 0 0 0 .071 Crowe ph 1 0 0 0 .174 Virdon pr 0 0 0 0 .242 Logan ss 4 0 1 0 .267 Acker p 0 0 0 0 .000 Buhl p 2 0 0 0 .029 Hanebrink ph 1 0 1 0 1.000 Green P ph 1 0 0 0 .207 Bronstad p 0 0 0 0 .000 Miller S p 0 0 0 0 .000 Lopata c 2 0 0 0 .053 Foiles ph 1 0 0 0 .175 Kubek ph 1 0 0 0 .273 Lown p 0 0 0 0 .333 Nixon c 3 0 0 0 .253 Ginsberg ph 1 0 0 0 .163 Sullivan F p 2 0 0 0 .086 Wall p 0 0 0 0 .000 Stuart ph 1 0 0 0 .294 O'Connell ph 1 0 0 0 .175 Fornieles p 0 0 0 0 .000 Schroll p 0 0 0 0 .000 Brandt ph 1 0 0 0 .233 56 1 9 1 Muffett p 0 0 0 0 .000 Post ph 2 0 1 0 .222 54 0 3 0 Tigers INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Buhl 7.0 0 0 0 1 4 56 39 4.16 Miller S 3.0 0 0 0 1 1 33 20 3.10 Lown 3.0 0 0 0 0 1 27 20 2.62 Wall 2.0 1 0 0 2 1 37 21 3.00 Schroll W 1-0 2.0 2 0 0 0 0 25 16 3.21 17.0 3 0 0 4 7 178 116 Robbers INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Sullivan F 9.0 5 0 0 0 5 105 73 3.08 Fornieles 3.0 2 0 0 0 1 29 20 0.99 Muffett 2.0 0 0 0 0 0 18 10 3.86 Acker 2.0 0 0 0 3 1 33 13 5.52 Bronstad L 0-1 1.0 2 1 1 0 0 19 11 5.20 17.0 9 1 1 3 7 204 127 MAS: Crowe batted for Fernandez in the 6th Logan inserted at ss in the 6th Kuenn batted for Nieman in the 7th Kuenn moved to cf in the 7th Kaline moved to rf in the 7th Green P batted for Buhl in the 8th Foiles batted for Miller S in the 11th Ginsberg batted for Lown in the 14th O'Connell batted for Wall in the 16th RIV: Kubek batted for Lopata in the 9th Stuart batted for Sullivan F in the 9th Nixon inserted at c in the 10th Brandt batted for Fornieles in the 12th Virdon ran for Howard F in the 14th Post batted for Muffett in the 14th Post moved to lf in the 15th Blaylock G ran for Gardner in the 15th Morgan J inserted at 2b in the 16th Hanebrink batted for Acker in the 16th E-Power, Klaus.
