Is a 26 inning game a record? What's your longest game?

No runs were scored from the 9th inning through the 25th inning. That's 17 straight scoreless innings, 16 in extra innings. That must be a record as well.

Low budget relievers Dick Drago, Larry Pape, Terry Leach, Mike Marshall, Al Holland, Tom Burgmeier, Chad Bradford and Andy Hassler all pitched scoreless baseball until Burgmeier gave up a 2 out RBI double at F0 to Martin Dihigo for the winning run in the top of the 26th inning! Burgmeier pitched 4 innings, allowing just that 1 run. Orel Hershiser pitched 4 innings in relief, 3 at F0, for the win.

Here's the box score:

Amazing how those unbalanced lefty relievers pitched so well against two lineups meant to shred lefties.

My thoughts exactly. Plus, it's not like Burgmeier, Holland and Hassler are Billy Wagner or Norm Charlton against righties. They usually get bombed by righty hitters.

Wow! That's intense. I don't recall what my longest game is all-time but since I've been back, only about 15 innings I'd say. I once saw Silver King (* pitcher with nor relief capability) enter the game DEEP and relieve and win. I didn't realize that was even possible.

This was from Daily Game which has some very deep bullpens compared to ATG, but this one went 24. We went scoreless from 9 through 22, and then each scored 2 in the 23rd. Finally ended in the 24th.
