Company softball game lasts 30 hours
Extra, extra innings: Game lasts 30 hours, 84 frames
Associated Press

ALLIANCE, Neb. -- Talk about extra innings.

A baseball game that began at 10 a.m. on Saturday in Alliance ended Sunday at 4:05 p.m. That's 30 hours and five minutes between the first pitch and the final out. Game organizers are counting on the contest being long enough to break a world record.

Forty players, ranging in age from 18 to 44, rotated in and out of the 84-inning game in hopes of setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest baseball game.

The record stands at 25 hours, set in Canada nearly three years ago.

1. One supposes they fudged a bit
It seems highly unlikely that a game would remain tied over 84 innings.
