Twenty innings not enough for a winner

AUBURN - After six hours, 20 innings, 10 runs, 34 hits, 42 strikeouts and 14 pitchers, Thursday night's game - which turned into Friday morning's game - still hasn't been decided between the Auburn Doubledays and the Batavia Muckdogs.

A few hundred of the 3,242 fans in attendence at Falcon Park stuck around to see the game get suspended at 5-5 after 20 innings. The New York-Penn League has a rule that states an inning cannot start past 12:50 a.m. The Doubledays and Muckdogs were stuck at the five-run mark since the ninth inning when Auburn mounted a two-run comeback.

"It's ironic because I was talking with the umps about extra-innings before the game," Doubledays' manager Dennis Holmberg said. "This isn't anything new for me. I played in a 30-inning game once and managed a 21-inning game."
