Some BAs are going to drop

The first four guys in our lineup are 4-29.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.

Sorry guys

I deleted 40AS’s and my threads since this one already had comments.

There's a bunch of 'em

Holy moly

I was listening to a talk radio show after a local AA game and they mentioned Austin’s 10+ innings of no-hit relief. I had no idea the game was still on. This is f-ing amazing. Go Horns!!!

It’s not must-see TV, but once you’ve committed to a game like this, you can’t give up

by Hopkins Horn on May 31, 2009 12:01 AM CDT reply actions  

FYI....

This game is now tied for the longest game in the history of Division I baseball. There have been two other 22-inning games: Baylor vs. Houston in 1999 and Nebraska vs. Colorado in 1974.

We’re one inning shy of the longest game in college baseball history, period — regardless of division — 23 innings, by Louisiana-Lafayette and McNeese State in 1971.

by JudenSmithFan on May 31, 2009 12:02 AM CDT reply actions  

I looked at NCAA.org...

…and I couldn’t find the D-II or D-III records, just the D-I referenced above for longest game at 23

by Hopkins Horn on May 31, 2009 12:02 AM CDT up reply actions  

Nope.

It wasn’t a D1 game. The record book is confusing, but look further in the book, (pg. 27 in my copy) and you’ll see the 22-inning games listed as the longest in D1. Then if you look up La-Lafayette’s baseball history on their website, you’ll see they became D1 the following year.
