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

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.
