Cool, thanks. Yeah, 15 LOB is still pretty bad even in 14-innings. 4 Runs on 15 Hits... as a Cub fan, that feels weirdly familiar.
I went looking for record LOBs and saw that 20 is the record for a 9-inning game, and the record for a season is 1328 by the Reds in 1976, meaning they averaged just over 8 LOB per game. Current MLB average looks like just under 7 LOB per game.
Also found this game:
April 7, 2008 Chicago Cubs at Pittsburgh Pirates Play by Play and Box Score - Baseball-Reference.com, which went 12 innings (as opposed to your 14), but the Cubs scored 10 runs (as opposed to your 4) on 13 hits (15), and in both games had 15 LOB. The biggest difference was that the Pirates gave up 11 BBs in the 12 inning historical game, and the Phillies managed to only give up 3 free passes in your 14 inning game. But the most interesting thing about the 2008 game is that the Pirates gave up 5 walks in the 12th inning (including 2 intentional) to lose the game 10-8.
