Five and Five
Bleed Cubbie Blue, in a very humorous column on the Cubs loss today, asks if there's been a game with one batter with five walks and one with five strikeouts before. The Day by Day Database goes back to 1974, and I only found one instance. It happened on May 23, 1987. The Cubs beat the Braves 7-6 that day in 16 innings. Dale Murphy walked five times for the Braves, and Ozzie Virgil, the Braves catcher, struck out five times. I found no examples in nine inning games.
