July 2, 1933, Carl Hubbell of the New York Giants pitches 18 innings of shutout ball in the first game of a doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals. The screwballing left-hander wins the game, 1-0, while allowing six hits, striking out 12 and issuing no walks in a duel with Tex Carleton, who goes the first 16 innings. The game ties the National League record for the longest 1-0 game. In game 2, played in semi-darkness, Roy Parmelee defeats Dizzy Dean 1 – 0 on a Johnny Vergez home run. The notoriously wild Giants pitcher does not issue a walk and strikes out 13.
