What is the longest game you have ever worked? Time and/or innings!

So .. you'll never work a tourney or playoff game?

My worst (although not the longest) was the first game of the morning, 1:15 time limit game that went 2:40 - even with ITB, no one could score. I can't even guess how many innings it went --- 17 or 18 I would guess. 1-0 game. Got far behind on my field, but also on other fields because of it. The trickle down had us adding some 7-8 games to Sunday.

Longest was just over 4 hours - typical 7-inning no-pitch walkathon high school game with no time limit.

I worked a 14-inning plate last year (or maybe 2005) that finished in 4:15. Adult 9-inning wood bat game.

I got hit hard on the plate shoe in the fourth inning and it hurt the rest of the game. Game ended on a walkoff 3-run HR in the bottom of the 14th.

3 Hours after the 4th inning.





Yep.

No time limit. Thank God we have no lights.

A single game, 12 innnings, 3:45. But I worked a DH by myself last year because partner did not show up, so it was 14 innings, 5 hours for the two.

Nightcap game of a doubleheader (different teams than in game one). The game had trudged along with both teams scoring in the double digits until the visitors finally took a 10-run lead in the top of the 6th. With two outs and R1 in the bottom of the inning, it looked like the mercy rule was going to get us off the field in just under 3 hours. However, a cocky F2 decided to try to pick R1 off. The ball rolled all the way to the wall with R1 coming all the way around to score and take us out of “mercy” status. In the top of the 7th, the visitors tacked on about a dozen more runs, the home team scored a bunch in the bottom of the inning, and the game didn’t end until nearly the 4 hour mark.

I have had a few very long extra-inning affairs which thankfully I have managed to put into the "forgetting" area of the brain.

My longest regulation 7 inning varsity game was 4 hrs. and 35 minutes, in which neither team's pitching could get anybody out. Just brutal.
