17 inning game 1973 or 1974

Can anyone give any details on the 17 inning game between Dickinson and Concord from either 1973 or 1974? I believe the final score was 1-0, Dickinson won. Thanks.

I was attending, well I was enrolled in, high school at that time, playing softball, but not at those schools. Doesn't ring a bell with me. Can't imagine anyone remembering that unless they were on the those teams.

I believe it was Dickinson and Claymont. Allen Ellis pitched for Dickinson and Mike Doherty pitched for Claymont. Thats about all I know. No pitch count back then.

Played semi-pro against Ellis. Was there a Joe Shinn on Dickinson?

Doherty said. "My shoulder was never the same after that day."

Really?

The more interesting nugget to me was that Ellis never had any problems. This reaffirms my belief that a majority of elbow/shoulder issues for pitchers are dictated by genetics, and their impact on mechanics. Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing who doesn't have the great pitching genetics until it's too late.
