A) [b:230a9ffa0e] 1910[/b:230a9ffa0e] - In perhaps the most symmetrical major league game ever, the Pirates and Superbas each score 8 runs on 13 hits. Each team strikes out 5 times in 38 at-bats, draws three walks and has one hit batter. They both record 27 putouts, 13 assists, two errors and one passed ball. Both use two pitchers before darkness ends the tie.
B) [b:230a9ffa0e]1913[/b:230a9ffa0e] - Harry Hedgpeth of the Petersburg Goobers pitches shutouts in both ends of a doubleheader - a one-hitter in the opener and a no-hitter in the nightcap.
C) [b:230a9ffa0e]1950[/b:230a9ffa0e] - The Rochester Red Wings beat the Jersey City Giants 3-2 in 22 innings. Amazingly, both Tom Poholsky and Andy Tomasic work the whole game in a throwback to an older era.
