April 22, 1949: Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals

A third extra-innings game on the day and another extra-inning home run to seal a victory.  This time it was Cubs firstbaseman Phil Cavaretta blasting a two-run homer in the top of the 12th to give the Cubs the lead and overcome a sterling 10-inning performance by Cardinals starter Al Brazle.  The Cubs are now 2-2 while the Cardinals fall to 1-2.
