On October 4, 1934 -At Navin Field Schoolboy Rowe evens the World Series with a 12-inning, 3 – 2 victory. Rowe shut out the St. Louis Cardinals over the final nine innings. He retired 27 of 28 batters, including a record-tying 22 in a row.

(This excerpt was taken from SABR Game Project) The Tigers down 2-1 in the bottom of the 9th, Fox led off the frame with a single, the team’s first hit off Bill Hallahan since his double in the fourth, and moved to second on Rowe’s sacrifice bunt. Gerald “Gee” Walker, pinch-hitting for White, lofted a “high twisting fly between home and first.” As if mesmerized, neither Hallahan nor DeLancey broke for the ball, and Collins was too late as the routine popup landed in fair territory, but rolled foul as Walker scampered to first. After a discussion among the umpires, the ball was ruled foul and Walker was sent back to the plate. Given a second chance, he singled to center, driving in Fox to tie the score. Southpaw Bill Walker relieved Hallahan, picked off Walker at first, and punched out Mickey Cochrane to send the game into extra innings.

With one out in the bottom of the 12th inning, Charlie Gehringer and Hank Greenberg drew consecutive free passes off Walker. Goose Goslin, whom the Tigers had acquired in the offseason, stepped to the plate. Walker, who had not yet surrendered a hit in three innings, threw a “fastball, waist high and through the heart” which the Goose belted to center field, driving in Gehringer for a dramatic 3-2 victory.

In the top of the second, St. Louis drew first blood on DeLancey’s single and Orsatti’s triple. They added another run in the third as a Medwick single brought in Martin, but the Tigers came back and edged them 3–2 in 12 innings.
