Longest game?

Last night, I had the longest game I'd ever called. It was a local SP league's church championship "if game" that went 13 innings. It was a GREAT game.

Bottom of 7, home team is down 5-0. They hit 2 runs in, then knock a 3-run home run to tie it up. No one scored until the 12th, when the visitors hit 2 runs in. The home team answered with 2 runs of their own. Top of the 13th, the visitors didn't score. Bottom of the 13th inning, the home team hit a 2-run home run to win the game. We started the game at 8:52 PM, and I was expecting to see the clock say 10:45 or 11:00 when I went to gather my things. Surprisingly, my cell phone said it was only 10:17. An hour and 25 minutes!

This league was so evenly-matched by all 6 teams, each team had a turn at being in 1st place during the regular season. This final game only showed just how evenly this particular league was matched up. Both teams in the championship game were great teams with excellent defense, and, above all, great sportsmanship. I know we knock "AA" leagues a lot, and church teams don't always act in true church-like fashion, but this matchup was certainly an exception. I greatly enjoyed calling this game.

So what was your longest game, either in innings, or in time played?

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
