20 innings. Wow! Were you the only person still in the stadium when the game ended?

Ha! Almost! My dad and I were with the junket from the Vallejo, CA Elks, and by the time the game ended, there were probably 3,000 in the stadium. Started out with an announced attendance of 33,000+. The game finally ended around 2 a.m.

A couple corrections on my earlier comment. Blue struck out 17 over 11 innings and May went 12 innings and struck out 13. Back then, complete games by pitchers were the rule, rather than the exception.
