The Longest Game

The Horns won the longest game in the history of college baseball last night. UT defeated Boston College in the NCAA Regionals in a game that went 25 innings, and ended at 1:05 this morning. Incredibly, the Horn's Austin Wood pitched nearly 13 innings of perfect, no-hit baseball on the way to the victory. Wood entered the game in the seventh. Pretty amazing stuff.

Speaking of pretty amazing... how 'bout that comeback against the Black Knights in the final game of the regional? Down four runs in the bottom of the ninth, Horn fans began to head for the exits, with defeat their foregone conclusion, but the Horns weren't done. They load up the bases and score a run off a fielder's choice. Then, they get a three run double to tie, and a walkoff grand slam to win. Amazing! Hook 'em!
