*** THIS DATE IN #REDS HISTORY! JUNE 14 *** June 14, 1870 - FIRST RED STOCKINGS LOSS! In what is considered by many historians the greatest baseball game of the 19th century, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, baseballs first all-professional team sees their winning streak stopped at 89 in a wild 11-inning battle with the Atlantic of Brooklyn team, 8 - 7. The game is tied 5 - 5 after nine innings of play, and the Atlantic players are happy to have a draw but Cincinnati captain Harry Wright insists that the game be played to a decision. The Red Stockings score twice in the 11th inning, but the Atlantic come back with three in their half to win. The game is notable as being the first extra-inning game between professional clubs, and as one of the lowest-scoring games of its day. As is the practice of the day, Atlantic continues to bat after having clinched the game, but no further runs are scored. June 14, 1965 - @ Crosley Field, Jim Maloney no-hits New York Mets for 10 innings and ties a National League record with 18 strikeouts in an extra-inning game, but loses the game when Johnny Lewis hits a lead-off home run in the 11th inning that gives the Mets a 1 - 0 win. Maloney allows one other hit and is the 10th pitcher to lose a no-hitter in extra innings; Harvey Haddix was the last‚ in 1959. Maloney walks one to go with his 18 strikeouts. retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1965/B06140CIN1965.htm baseball-reference/boxes/CIN/CIN196506140.shtml June 14, 1966 - Jim Maloney hurled a 3 hit complete game SHUTOUT, REDS blank Pirates 3-0 in Pittsburgh.
