That the game ended in 11 innings. Baseball doesn't have a time limit, so basically if one team is ahead after 9 full innings they win the game. If they're even then the game goes on to extra innings until a team is ahead after a full inning. So baseball games can go long. The record was set in 1920, that game went for 26 innings. Fun fact: there was no winner because the game ended because it became too dark.
