Wednesday, October 7, 1903, at Exposition Park (III) in Allegheny, Pennsylvania Game 5 was a pitcher's duel for the first five innings, with Boston's Cy Young and Pittsburgh's Brickyard Kennedy giving up no runs. That changed in the top of the sixth, however, when the Americans scored a then-record six runs before being retired. Young, on the other hand, managed to keep his shutout intact before finally giving up a pair of runs in the bottom of the eighth. He went the distance and struck out four for his first World Series win.
Stargell doubled home two more runs in the fourth for a 6–0 Pirate lead and essentially clinched the NLCS MVP. The Reds got one run back in the sixth when Johnny Bench homered, but it was their last run of the year.

Blyleven went the distance and the Pirates had completed an unexpected sweep in advancing to the 1979 World Series.
Pacquiao during the official weighin for his fight against Mayweather Pacquiao fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2, 2015.

Pitcher Earlene Risinger went the distance and stroke out nine Lassies players, including a bases loaded strikeout to retire slugger Doris Sams for the last out of the game.
However, it was in the post-season that Hershiser really distinguished himself – he started Games 1 and 3 of the NLCS against the tough New York Mets, saved Game 4 in relief, and threw a complete game shutout in Game 7. He hurled another complete game shutout in Game 2 of the World Series and again went the distance in the clinching Game 5. Hershiser was named MVP of both the NLCS and the World Series, capping off arguably one of the greatest seasons a starting pitcher has ever had.

After Oliver McCall stunned Lennox Lewis in the second round to become WBC Heavyweight Champion, he turned down a $10 million offer from Lewis for an immediate rematch. Instead he agreed to fight 46 year old former WBC, IBF and lineal heavyweight champion Larry Holmes, who was making his fourth attempt at regaining a heavyweight title after losing to Michael Spinks in 1985. Each of his previous three attempts (against Spinks in 1986 in a rematch, against Mike Tyson in 1988, and against Evander Holyfield in 1992) ended in defeat, although he went the distance in two of the three fights.

Just two weeks after beating Slavin, Powell faced another fighter from Northern Ireland, Garnett Denny. The Denny fight went the distance with the decision going against Powell. A rematch was quickly arranged and two months later they met again in Newtown, this time the result went to Powell with Denny being disqualified in the third round.
Kitaoka again made short work of his opponent winning by a heel hook submission at 1:16 of the first round. The win earned him a place in the tournament's final taking place that same night against Kazunori Yokota. The fight proved longer than Kitaoka's three previous fights as it went the distance completing all three five-minute rounds with Kitaoka being awarded the unanimous decision, thus winning the 2008 Sengoku Lightweight Grand Prix. The Lightweight tournament win set up Kitaoka to fight the last reigning PRIDE Lightweight Champion, Takanori Gomi, for Sengoku's newly created Sengoku Lightweight Championship.
On fight night, in front of 13,000 fans, Crolla was dropped in the seventh round by a left uppercut, and went the distance to lose by wider margins (119-109 on all three scorecards) than the first fight. Crolla started off well hitting to body, but Linares quickly capitalised and started connected well to the body and landing combinations of uppercuts.

At the end of round 11, Crolla's trainer Joe Gallagher came into the ring and walked towards referee Howard John Foster, possibly to stop the fight.
Sherman came to the plate three times, but did not reach base. Sherman's second and final major league appearance came six days later on September 30, as the A's visited Griffith Stadium for a game with the Washington Senators.

Hasdell returned to mixed martial arts when he travelled to Moscow, Russia on 29 April 2000, to compete in the IAFC - Absolute Fighting Championships.
The contest went the distance and the referee gave the victory to Darcy, which was seen as a fair result. While in Australia, as in South Africa, Dyer attempted to supplement his boxing income by arranging singing contracts at music halls and theatres, though his attempts to find work at the Tivoli Theatre in Sydney were unsuccessful. During his time in Australia Dyer was involved in exhibition work and was one of the boxers present at the opening of a new stadium at the Broadmeadows Training Camp for soldiers in Melbourne. Dyer's attempts to continue his boxing career stumbled during this period.
By the time Lewis was fit he had lost his title to Jack Britton, and Britton was not interested in fighting Dyer. Dyer fought twice more in New York in 1917, avoiding the newspaper decisions with a knockout win over Kid Queens and then a technical knockout of Kid Carter. Dyer in military uniform during his time at Camp Grant In late 1917 Dyer faced Tommy Robson again in two encounters in Massachusetts. The first, fought in Boston, was a disputed result after the bout went the distance, though it is recorded as a win for Robson.
Their feud eventually culminated in a boxing match scheduled for Friday morning May 31, 2002, at Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City and was promoted on the show as "The Flunky versus the Junkie" with 2,500 tickets going on sale for $100 each. The 7 a.m. fight, essentially an extended segment on the show which itself was broadcast from around the ring that morning, was set for five two-minute rounds with a two-minute break in between each round. It went the distance, with the 175 lb Melendez winning over the 262 lb Cabbie by unanimous decision.
Despite the Regals seemingly having the better club, the Mohawks swept the series with three straight victories. This upset prompted an immediate match up between the Mohawks and the first seed Spartan Warriors. Despite an 18–2–0 record, the series went the distance and in game five the Mohawks pulled the ultimate upset defeating the heavily favoured Warriors 9–6. In the Conference Final, the Mohawks then fought off the second seed Orangeville Northmen in 4 games to push into the league finals. The Finals pitted the Mohawks against the 2005 Cinderella Story Oakville Buzz.
On 26 February 1994, Wharton challenged Nigel Benn (37-2-1 32 KOs) for the WBC super middleweight title at Earls Court Exhibition Hall, London, England.

Haddock defeated Kelley in a six-round bout by points, exactly a year and a day after his loss to Robinson at the same venue, the Star Leisure Centre in Cardiff. A month later, 17 December 1991, he faced DeAbreu and stopped his opponent via technical knockout in the third. His next fight was a re-match with Robinson, for the vacant Wales area super-lightweight title. Held at the Bull Centre in Haddock's home town of Llanelli, the ten-round fight went the distance with Haddock winning the match on points, giving Haddock his first professional title.
In 1973, the SOJAHL's Chatham Maroons defeated the OPJHL's Wexford Raiders 4-games-to-3. In 1974, the Wexford Raiders got their turn, defeating the Windsor Spitfires 4-games- to-3 to even the series. A year later, the SOJAHL's Guelph CMC's defeated the Toronto Nationals 4-games-to-2 and in 1976 became the Guelph Platers and defeated the North Bay Trappers 4-games-to-1 to win their second straight OHA Championship.

Yanagi featured in Japan historic Davis Cup win over Australia in Tokyo in 1971, which was secured with Toshiro Sakai's win in the fifth rubber. This was the first time Japan had beaten Australia in the Davis Cup for 50 years. Yanagi gave Japan a winning start when he defeated John Cooper in the opening rubber, which went the distance to five sets. In the first reverse singles he came close to securing the tie for Japan himself when he came from two sets and 3–5 down against Colin Dibley to send it into a fifth set, but eventually lost 6–8.
Harris (2004), p. 34 The ten-round bout went the distance, with Welsh victorious by points decision, and he was congratulated by Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. at the end of the match.Harris (2004), p. 35 Packey McFarland, fought Welsh three times, twice in 1908 Welsh went on to beat Eddie Carter in Philadelphia on Christmas Day 1907, Kid Locke on 2 January and then Maurice Sayers at the Milwaukee Boxing Club.

Ennis made his professional debut on April 30, 2016, defeating Cory Muldrew via first-round knockout (KO) at the Dixie Center in St. George, Utah. He fought a further seven times in 2016, scoring four consecutive stoppage wins over Luis Ramos in May; Deshawn Debose in June; Tavorus Teague in July; and Matt Murphy in August. Ennis went the distance for the first time in September, defeating Eddie Diaz by unanimous decision (UD) in a scheduled four-round bout. He saw out the year with two more stoppage wins over Chris Alexander in November and Marcus Beckford in December.
Additionally, it was established that, if the fight went the distance, it would automatically be scored as a draw. The bout did go five rounds without knockout or disqualification and a no-decision was immediately declared. After another four-year absence on December 4, 1993, in "The Legend's Final Challenge" at the Mirage Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, Urquidez fought Japanese champion Yoshihisa Tagami to establish the vacant WKA super welterweight world title. Despite having injured his left wrist in training, Urquidez proceeded with the bout and narrowly defeated his equally aggressive opponent with kicking attacks.
Prior to the start of Stage 4, which would debut the League's enforcement of a 2-2-2 role lock, the Uprising acquired DPS Lee "Stellar" Do-hyung, who had retired earlier in the season, from the Toronto Defiant. The Uprising's first match of Stage 4 was against the Guangzhou Charge on July 27; Boston was unable to secure a map, getting swept 0–4. The team took on the Chengdu Hunters a day later. The match went the distance, but a game MVP performance from the Hunter's support player Xianyao "Yveltal" Li on Mercy led Chengdu to a 3–2 win over Boston.
German stamp, 2005 Schmeling lived in Stettin, Germany (now known as Szczecin, Poland); a band from this city, the Analogs, recorded the song "Max Schmeling" on their album Hlaskover rock (2000). In a season 9 or 10 episode of "Law and Order", Schmeling's name is mentioned when the detectives are looking for a certain gun. The man who is supposed to own it is a fighter from the 1930s who went the distance with Schmeling in 1937. Schmeling briefly appears as himself in the film The Zurich Engagement (1957) The American-German film Joe and Max (2002) tells the true story of Joe Louis and Max Schmeling and their enduring friendship.

With 16 seconds left in the round, Tyson staggered Ruddock with a right hook to the side of his head, causing Ruddock to hold on to Tyson to prevent taking any more damage. After the bell rang, Tyson threw two punches at Ruddock, who in turn would respond with a powerful right hand that just missed connecting with Tyson.
By the end of 1915 Dyer was through with Australia, the New Zealand Truth reporting that he had left by 4 December, and by Christmas Eve the American press were already announcing his arrival in the States. In January, Dyer was in San Francisco, where he fought local boxer Bob McAllister, losing on points in a four-round contest. He then travelled to the East Coast and to New York, and on 6 May 1916 he was back in the ring, in a ten-round fight with local boxer Tommy Maloney. The fight went the distance ending in a draw, though local newspapers gave the decision to Maloney.
The MMA part of the event was headlined by a heavyweight bout between James McSweeney and Stefan Traunmuller. At FFC 9 James McSweeney made his FFC debut and defeated Traunmuller by a first round submission via armbar. The co-main event featured Primož Vrbinc and Joseph Leitner, while the most anticipated bout of the night was the grudge match between Slovenia's Lemmy Krušič and Vaso Bakočević fighting out of Montenegro that went the distance in favor of Krušič. The kickboxing part of the event was headlined by Mirko Vorkapič and Chris Ngimbi with Vorkapić pulling an upset and defeating favored former It's Showtime champion Ngimbi.

Machida was able to knock down Silva twice during the first round before ultimately knocking him out after tripping him and jumping in landing the knockout punch at 4:59 of the first round. The finish marked the first win for Machida by knockout, and netted him a $65,000 bonus as it was awarded "Knockout of the Night".
As in eight of the prior nine seasons, he ranked in the NL top ten in batters faced and in innings pitched. He went the distance on July 15 in a 3-0 shutout over the Phillies, allowing seven hits and striking out four. The Pirates finished tied for sixth at 80-82, 13 games behind pennant-winning St. Louis. 1965 marked the end of Friend's tenure in Pittsburgh, a season in which he went 8-12 with a 3.24 ERA over 34 starts. On July 23, he beat the Cubs 6-0, allowing a walk and two hits for his fifth win of the season.
The opener was played on a bright Saturday afternoon at Royals Stadium and pitted Yankee ace Jim "Catfish" Hunter against left-hander and ex-Yankee Larry Gura. The Yankees got off to a quick start, scoring two in the first aided by a pair of George Brett throwing errors. Hunter was in top form and went the distance, not going to a three-ball count the entire game. While the Royals were able to halve that margin going into the ninth, Roy White's two-run double in the top of the frame gave the Yanks two insurance runs that were the final scoring in a tidy 4–1 win.
The Uxbridge Bruins won the regular season crown with thirty-one wins and went on to win the league championship. Their third championship launched them deep into the All-Ontario playoffs for the Clarence Schmalz Cup. They made it to the provincial finals just to find one team in their path: the Great Lakes Junior C Hockey League's Essex 73's. The series was long and was fought hard, as well it went the distance. The Bruins, one game away from their first Clarence Schmalz Cup, just could not do it in Game 7 losing 2-1 and the series 4-games-to-3.
In he had a record of 16–13, and at one point started—and won—three games in two days. He saved his best work for the World Series against the New York Giants. After winning Game 2 in Chicago but losing Game 4 on the road, he came into Game 5 (at home) in relief and picked up the win as the Sox came back from a 5-2 deficit in the seventh inning to win 8-5. Faber went the distance in the clinching Game 6 two days later at the Polo Grounds, picking up his third win of the Series by a 4–2 score.
On 24 April 2010 Kessler returned to fight against Britain's undefeated WBC Champion Carl Froch, a match that was called "a classic" and "one of the best matches in Danish boxing ever." The contest went the distance and Kessler was handed a unanimous decision with scores of 115–113, 116–112 and 117–111. With the win, Kessler became a two time WBC Champion, handing Carl Froch his first defeat in the process. Froch later stated that he'd suffered a minor ear injury during training and he felt he would've won the fight if it had been held in his home-country of England, but congratulated Kessler on his victory.
McCarthy's club also featured future major league hurler Joe Beckwith, and would face Orleans in the playoff semi-finals. In Game 1, Beckwith went the distance, and Boston College's Al Bassignani provided the clout with two homers and five RBI's to go with his ninth-inning home run robbery of a Roger LaFrancois drive with two men on, as the Kettleers took the opener, 7–1. Reardon got the start in Game 2, and Cotuit came away with a 5–2 win to sweep the series. The best-of-five Cape League finals matched Cotuit against the Falmouth Commodores, and the Kettleers seemed to be rolling along, taking both Games 1 and 2.
The twenty-round match went the distance and the referee gave the decision, and with it the Welsh heavyweight title, to Power. Although there is little recorded evidence of Norris's professional career in the years directly after he lost his Welsh title, in 1928 he travelled to the United States to take on local fighters, mainly in the state of Ohio. In February 2009, the Massillon Evening Independent recorded that Norris had begun his campaign in the States three months earlier, recording eight-straight knockout wins, all under three rounds. Other recorded bouts in America included four fights in Akron, Ohio, in which Norris beat Pat Irish, but lost to Jack Roberts, Ray Young and Tiny Powell.
Willie Mays was enjoyed by the Minneapolis fans for only a month or so in 1951 before the parent club New York Giants brought the young ballplayer to the big leagues. Nicollet Park, which had opened with a big win 60 years earlier, went out with a bang in September 28, 1955, as the Millers won the American Association championship tournament, and then went on to vie for the Junior World Series championship, facing the Rochester Red Wings of the International League. The series went the distance of 7 games, and the finale on September 28 was a close-fought win for the Millers in what was also the final game at Nicollet Park.
He took over the head coaching duties after Plager's departure and from there he helped the Blues reach the playoffs once again in the spring of 1993. The Blues swept the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round, and he finally made it to the second round of the post-season as a head coach in the NHL. However, his post-season success, as well as the Blues,' was short lived as Berry's team was knocked out in the second round by the Toronto Maple Leafs in a hard fought 7 games series that went the distance. He remained on as head coach of the Blues the next season with Ted Sator joining the fold as an assistant.
Not only does Malina worry about the Taliban, but her family who disagrees with her decision to create art. Writing art that that displays the human body like Malina's motif, the skeleton in a burqa, is seen as idol worship. To the Taliban and other traditional Muslims, Malina's artwork is un- Islamic and Suliman's parents were embarrassed. Because of this her parents went the distance and locked Malina in their house for nearly a year, which had the opposite effect they were hoping for. Malina claimed that, “Today, whatever I am doing for art, it’s all because of that one year in which I was staying in a home.” Suliman spends her time holding art exhibits around the world.
2017 This was Akiyama's comeback year as he started the season as part of the main starting rotation. He bagged his first win on April 12 against the Baystars, and became a mainstay as he continued to pitch quality starts on his next outings. On May 16, he went the distance and struck out 12 batters in 9 solid innings, earning him his first complete win since 2010. Despite having suffered an injury on his right hamstring early in August, he notched his 10th win in August 18, and even managed to hit his first career home run off Dragons reliever Junki Itoh, the first Hanshin pitcher to do so in Nagoya Dome.
McDonnell fought Leigh Wood for the vacant British Super-Bantamweight title in Hull on 22 February 2014. McDonnell won the vacant title by TKO in the 6th round. McDonnell's first defense of the British Super-Bantamweight title would come against Josh Wale on 21 May 2014. The contest went the distance of 12 rounds and ended in a split draw, with the judges scoring the contest 115–114 Wale, 115–114 McDonnell and the final judge scoring the bout at 114–114, meaning McDonnell would hold on to the belt. His next fight came in the form of Vusi Malinga on 25 October 2014 in a contest for the vacant WBO International Super-Bantamweight title.
The fight was significant in that it was the last ever title match scheduled for 15 rounds. The fight went the distance, with Paez earning a majority decision. On March 19, 1996, USA featured a bout between Jeremy Williams and Arthur Weathers as the headline of their show broadcast from the Spruce Goose Dome in Williams' home of Long Beach, California. Williams, at the time a rising heavyweight contender, dropped Weathers with an uppercut almost immediately after the bell rang to start the contest and referee Marty Denkin called a halt to the contest after ten seconds, which was erroneously referred to as a world record for quickest knockout (although it remains one of the fastest ever).
The Razorbacks came into the 2018 season with enormous expectations, and they lived up to those expectations. Arkansas earned a share of the SEC Western Division title with Ole Miss, and secured the No. 5 overall national seed in the NCAA Tournament. Arkansas hosted a regional at Baum Stadium, dispatching Oral Roberts, Southern Miss and Dallas Baptist in consecutive games in the Fayetteville Regional to advance to the Super Regional, also in Fayetteville, with SEC foe South Carolina. The 3-game series went the distance before the Razorbacks defeated the Gamecocks to clinched its fifth trip to Omaha of Van Horn's tenure, and ninth in program history, with a 14-4 victory on June 11.
T. J. Bell at Road America in 2012 The team started off in the Nationwide Series with T. J. Bell, who had run races for the team in the Camping World Truck Series. He ran six races in the team's first season in Xfinity, 2011, start and parking for four of them, and failing to qualify for three others. He recorded a best finish of 23rd at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In 2012, the team went the distance in races during the first part of the season, but with three wrecks and two mechanical problems in the first nine races of the season, the team resorted to start and parking after the Kentucky Speedway race.
Kite went the distance for Harwich in Game 2 at Red Wilson Field, but scattered four runs and got little help from his bats in a 4–1 loss that knotted the series. Harwich got three runs in each of the first two innings of Game 3 on home turf, and Nagy came on in relief of starter Dave Menhart. For the second time in the series, Nagy would no-hit the Red Sox over 4 1/3 innings of relief, and the Mariners came away with a 7–2 victory to secure the championship. Nagy, the playoff MVP, recorded the final out by way of strikeout against league MVP and batting champ Mickey Morandini, whom Nagy caught looking on a 3–2 count.
The Harwichers rallied again in each of the final two frames, but Pires held them off and went the distance in a 10–6 win that knotted the series at one game apiece. After Game 2, a coin flip determined Falmouth would host Game 3 the following weekend, and the All-Stars sent Pires to the mound in the finale. The game was even at 3–3 through five frames, but again Harwich's errors were its downfall, leading to Falmouth rallies in the late innings that gave the All-Stars the 8–4 victory and the league crown. Falmouth's championship club was celebrated as playing a "forcing, aggressive type of ball" that "compared favorably with the old semi-pro teams" of Falmouth's pre-war era.
The bout went the distance, with the experienced Saunders controlling the first six rounds with his footwork, elusive style and technical boxing ability, as Eubank was mostly inactive, with many speculating to him being over cautious due to nervousness and 'stage fright' as it was his first major title bout of his professional career. Regardless, from round seven onward Eubank took control with a much higher punch output, this resulted in the two young boxers brawling and trading hard shots for the rest of the fight. In the twelfth round, Eubank came out gunning for the knockout but was unable to get it. The early inactivity turned out to be the deciding factor as Saunders was victorious, a 115–114, 115-113 and 113-116 winner.
He would defend his Commonwealth title against Ben Jones on 2 February 2018, at the O2 Arena, London, again winning by sixth-round TKO, only to lose the title in his second defence against Ryan Doyle on 6 June 2018, suffering his first professional defeat via TKO in the fifth-round. On 22 December 2018, Bellotti challenged British featherweight champion Ryan Walsh at The O2 Arena. Bellotti went the distance for the third time in his career, losing by split decision (SD), with one judge scoring the bout 116–113 in Bellotti's favour, while the other two scored it 116–112 to Walsh. Bellotti once again fought for the vacant WBC International Silver featherweight title on 11 October 2019, against Italian Francesco Grandelli at the PalaTrento in Trento, Italy.
McClendon's home run in the sixth ended the Pittsburgh scoring. David Justice hit two home runs in the late innings but they were meaningless as the Pirates tied the series. The stadium was largely empty by the end of the game as most fans left once the Pirates put the game out of reach--a bad omen for the Braves as seven of the previous ten teams that managed to come back from a 3-1 deficit to force a Game 7 had gone on to complete the comeback. Wakefield again went the distance for his second win—a somewhat questionable decision by Leyland, since had he removed him earlier once he had a comfortable lead, Wakefield could have been available for relief duty in Game 7 to supplant Pittsburgh’s notoriously unreliable bullpen.
This was the first time Coyle had ever been on the canvas either as an amateur or a professional and after the fight he stated that he was heartbroken and disgusted and swore that he would not rest until he had avenged the defeat against Bell. Since his defeat to Omar Bell, Coyle has won with straight fights all by knockout, including first-round KOs of Robert Kimbrough and Guy Packer. On 15 November 2009, Coyle returned to the Breafy House in Castlebar County Mayo to make his Irish debut live on RTÉ on the undercard of Bernard Dunne fight against Cristian Faccio. Henry Coyle went the distance before receiving the referee's decision in overcoming Sergejs Savrinovics (who had lost all of his previous fights), the score cards read 78–74.
The fifteen round fight went the full distance with John being given the bout on points decision. Despite the fight being an eliminator, when the vacant title was contended on 11 August 1928 at Merthyr Tydfil, his rival was again Minty Rose, the fighter he had defeated to be given the title shot. The fight was scheduled for fifteen rounds and again went the distance, and as before John was given the points decision, making John the Welsh flyweight champion. John completed 1928 with a string of seven fights without defeat. 1929 started with a loss through disqualification to Billy Clarke, before recording seven straight wins, including a victories over Cuthbert Taylor and Bert Kirby, and a successful defence of his flyweight title to Merthyr fighter Jerry O'Neil.
The 1970-71 season, the first as the Great Lakes Junior Hockey League, saw the league operating with six teams. Four of the teams in the league had opted for a Junior B designation for the playoffs: Blenheim, Petrolia, Tilbury and Windsor; Dresden and Leamington remained Junior C. Petrolia would take the league Junior B crown with a dominant series victory over the upstart Royals, while the Dresden Jr. Kings went the distance and shocked the Leamington Flyers (who had finished the season with ten more wins).
