Historic Game Box Score
May 26, 1959
An Imperfect Ending
Harvey Haddix had become the first pitcher in major league history to take a
perfect game beyond nine innings and he did so for twelve stunning innings.
In the 13th. Braves lead-off batter Felix Mantilla reached on a throwing error
by Pirates 3B Don Hoak, Eddie Mathews sacrificed Mantilla to 2nd, Hank Aaron
was walked intentionally, and Joe Adcock hit a 3-run HR. Adcock, however,
passed Aaron on the bases and was only credited with a 1-run double.
