No, that isn't a typo. And yes, that is innings, as in 25 innings. I didn't see the game, only heard about it later. Texas defeated Boston College 3-2 yesterday in a College World Series Regionals game. Here's the box score from the game, but here are a couple of the highlights:
Texas scored their three runs on 20 hits. They also used just three pitchers in the 25 inning marathon. Austin Wood, a reliever for the Longhorns, threw 120 of his 169 pitches for strikes. And, Texas actually led in this game 2-0 back in the second inning, before BC scored single runs in the fourth and sixth innings. The game remained tied at two for the next 18 innings before an RBI single in the top of the 25th inning gave Texas the lead.
BC was right back at it today. They had to win an early game against Army in order to advance and play Texas again later in the day. Unfortunately, the Eagles lost to Army, 4-3, and were eliminated as their season came to an end. Had BC won their game against Army, and defeated Texas in an afternoon contest, they would have played again Monday, against... yep, you guessed it... Texas.
