After he reaches, F6 looks at me and says, "But he called time!"
Whew, thank goodness most all of our JV games are time limited about hour and half max! And most play doubleheader so you get two games and still only about three hours.

Thanks
David

My assignor once told our group: "GD Baserunners cause all kinds of GD problems. It's your job to keep those GD baserunners off the GD bases!"

I heard that!!! I love that hour and 1/2 on the JV - get in, get out and let's start Varsity.

Longest game so far - 2 years ago HS Varsity (for you David - at Water Valley). It snowed Friday night. Everything was clear by game time for game one of the DH at 3PM. First game was normal and nothing spectacular. Second game went close to the 3 hour mark, just over if I remember right, may have been 3 1/2. 10 innings. 2 outs in the bottom, run scores from second on a base hit. Ended the nineth with the same play, different result. My partner and I joked that our wives wouldn't believe we'd been gone that long for 2 ball games.

At $100 per hour, you made out like a bandit.

Back to the topic at hand, longest I have seen this year was here:

La Grange News - Tigers lose wild game

Quote:
AUBURN, Ala. - Troup baseball coach Craig Garner has seen some bizarre things during his years in the sport.

He’s never seen anything like what happened Monday afternoon during a game against Auburn High, though.

The two teams combined for 49 runs, and Auburn rallied from 13 runs down to win it 25-24 on a walkoff grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Todd Thompson, who had been 0-for-5, provided the winning margin with his one-out grand slam.

“It was the craziest game I’ve seen in my life,” Garner said. “It was a circus.”

Hi fellas...officially back in the saddle today. (FED) Had a good game, two small town schools...good kids, hustled, good sportsmanship. Had the dish...overall felt pretty good back there...admittedly, a few flinches behind the dish with many ball in the dirt and young catchers...got out of it with no solid knocks to the body...my partner and I each had a balk and my the first called strike of the year was a called third. Game was a bit long...about 2:15 for 5 innings...end via the 10 run rule...but not a bad game overall.

Just got home from a 2 hour 57 minute 7 inning game. Final score 8-4. I knew it was taking a while, but had no idea it was THAT long until I walked off the field and got to my watch.

Did they not see the Joe West article?
