Longest baseball game in SEC Tournament history last night and well into this morning with LSU losing to Mississippi State 5-6 in the bottom of the 17th inning. I went to sleep around 10:30 watching the game then woke up about 3:30 this morning and they were still playing.
Were they playing on the west coast? Even professionals won't start another inning past 1:AM.
HOOVER, Ala. — It ended at 3:03 a.m. Central Time on Thursday, this marathon of a baseball game that began almost seven hours earlier, back when fans packed the stands at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium to support LSU and Mississippi State in the Southeastern Conference tournament.
The Tigers lost the longest game in the history of the SEC tournament 6-5, forcing them to play an elimination game against Auburn on Thursday afternoon, less than 12 hours later.
When it ended, six hours and 43 minutes has passed since the 8:20 p.m. (central time) first pitch on Wednesday.
