The Battle for the Last Run

The podcast tells the story of the longest game in professional baseball history, which took place in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in April 1981. The game was played between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings, two Triple-A teams. Both teams were filled with young players who aspired to make it to the major leagues. The game started as a usual baseball game but ended up going into extra innings due to the great performance of both teams' pitchers. It continued for 32 innings and lasted over eight hours, with no winner due to a curfew. The suspended game was completed two months later, with the Pawtucket Red Sox eventually winning it in the bottom of the 33rd inning.
