Interesting stats about the 33 inning game:
Steve Grilli, the losing pitcher for Rochester, was not a member of the Red Wings when the game started on April 18.
Jim Umbarger pitched ten innings of scoreless relief for Rochester.
Rochester's Dave Huppert caught 31 of the 33 innings.
Dallas Williams of the Red Wings went 0-13 at the plate. Williams was credited with two sacrifice bunts, and had, while not an official stat, 15 plate appearances without a hit. Williams' 0-13 stat is also a record in futility in any single professional baseball game.
Russ Laribee of the PawSox went 0-11, striking out eight times, becoming the first player in history to record the double golden sombrero.
Between the two teams, pitchers faced a total of 246 batters (219 AB, 23 BB, 4 HBP). A total of 1882 pitches were thrown.
Pawtucket's Dave Koza had the most hits of any player in the game: five, including the game-winner.
53 runners were left on base (30 by Rochester and 23 by Pawtucket).
Pawsox Manager Joe Morgan was ejected from the game by Home Plate Umpire Dennis Cregg. In a newspaper interview, Morgan claims that Cregg threw him out of the game "to impress his young nephew [David Cregg] who was in the stands".
The temperature dropped into the 40's causing players in the dugouts to start small fires in metal trash cans using pieces of broken bats to keep warm.
