Any ideas on longest High School game??

For TAPPS, Can you have district ties?

Don't we have district ties?

I am thinking maybe not as DC put a 3 spot in top of 17 at the 3:15 mark.

Per TAPPS Section 147 K.

TIE GAMES. A regulation called game where a winner cannot be determined shall
be counted as ½ game won and ½ game lost for each team and the game shall not be
replayed.

CS, very interesting...maybe PCA has a different "maack up" of the rule book. I think that would be old man humor and very weak.

The longest game in HS history occured last night at Plano West in the 5th inning.

CTFC -- how's your son with the knee and DR with the shoulder?

Can you post the results of the PCA/DC game when you hear the final score?

Final DC 3 PCA 0 in 17 complete.

The CTFCjrmbr recovered and played as I enjoyed feathers from a crow I was eating at TCA rematch.

CTFC - I know they have a different rule book on the procedures for rescheduling rain-out games... (I'M KIDDING!)

Now come on....it wasn't THAT bad.

When it comes to TCA/PCA there is always a little seriousness in the kidding.

Wow -- a 17inning 3-0 game -- very cool.

I disagree, it was the 3rd inning of the East vs Martin game this year.

DR with the shoulder?

PD, my bad... just got the DR question.

Duct tape seemed to hold the non-throwing side in place well against FWCountry Day yesterday. He was bringing it.

Just home from the DC/PCA marathon. Won't see many of those. Unfortunately, some highlights will go unnoticed since the DMN only prints the box.

First, PCA's Jordan Swagerty goes no-no thru 9.1, ends up w/ 1 hit, O runs thru 10 (may have been 11, can't remember now). Awesome to watch.

DC's senior Aaron McCain virtually matched him though, throwing a scoreless 9 innnings. Neither of them will appear in the box, but I imagine the many scouts and spectator future opponents took notice.

DC's 3 spot in the 17th finally does it. Soph Ryan Downs with a 2 rbi hit for the first two runs, and Soph Blaine Taylor brings him home from first on the next pitch w/ a double.

Junior Corey Brooks pitched the final 4 innings for the win. I think he had about 8 K's.

I'm going to bed now.

We had a 10 inning dual down here that finished up just a few minutes shy of 4 hours on Wed. night.

My senior year we won a playoff series in which we won games 2 and 3 of the series on the same day. In the first game that day, we won in the bottom of the 9th to tie the series. The second game that day, game three of the series, we won in 11 innings. Same kid caught all 20 innings that day for us. Both of our pitchers threw complete games that day!

Oh, it was a Friday and the First game started at 4pm. I think the Second game ended about 12:30am. That was a great day!

Congratulations Dallas Christian for prevailing in the marathon game. It sounds like it was a great game with lots of great pitching on both sides. Tough game...sounds like both teams deserved to win (or tie )

At the risk of having the topic shut down, I wonder what the pitch counts were in this game?*


*PD please note: no pitchers names were used to protect the innocent (or guilty for that matter)

WOW! Yall cant talk about pitch counts? Ive always thought was a very important topic given all the high school kids that are now having tommy john surgery.

If you guys actually read the other topic -- it's not about discussing pitch count. It's about focusing the discussion on a particular instance, which may or may not lead to fair assumptions. We're all about being fair. Concerning pitch counts for last night's games ---- I think it's ok to say, pitcher A threw 101, pitcher B 161 -- who threw more? If we turn it into a math exercise, some will tune out immediately, choosing to use those brain cells on their unbalanced checkbooks.

Pitch count topics get heated on occasion.

My son is a pitcher....but I do not count pitches. I suppose my trust could be misguided (and he reads this message board), but I don't think so.

Pitch counts were all within reason:

Swagerty-115
McCain-low 90's

DC's 2 relievers were in the 50-60 range. PCA's reliever King may have been in the 70-80 range, not sure. But nobody posted any ridiculous, overly concerning totals.

So Natural, if you're fishing for something extreme, no such luck.

In 2003, East played Allen in a 16-inning early season district game -- lasted 4+ hours in 40 degree weather. One kid threw 160+ pitches, half after actually leaving the game, icing his arm in the dugout, and re-entering to pitch. He's a pro today. Another kid was 140+ in 9 innings of relief. He's pitching professionally as well. Is it safe to say those pitch counts were too high?

This is totally irrelevent to this thread, but our freshman team played The Colony last Tuesday starting at 6. We live right by the school and I remember seeing the lights on at the field when we left the house about 6:30 to go over to The Colony to watch the varsity game. We played our game and came back to the house about 10:15 that night and I noticed the lights were still on at the field. I thought that was strange, but didn't give it much thought after that. I just figured they were still working on the field. Anyway, I found out the next day that they were still playing when I saw the lights the night before and the game lasted 4-1/2 hours and the final score was 22-19!!

A couple of weeks ago my son's freshman team played Frisco HS 4+ hours. At one point they were losing 17 to 6 and came back to tie it. They eventually lost 23-20. That was one cold and long game.

ChargerDad -- my comment isn't meant to criticize you in any way, so please lend me a little latitude. Your post confirms the reason I closed the other topic....I do not believe you participated there.

In this post you indicate that the pitch counts were "within reason" (and I don't disagree -- your assessment is as good as any). But more than one here implied that 130 is too many. If 130 pitches includes 20 change ups and 6 pitches between innings....one might argue that this work is less stressful than 115 fastballs/sliders with 8 warmups per inning. We all like to error on the side of caution.

Thanks for the game recap -- it sounds like a game that will provide lasting memories.

Not fishing for anything, ChargerDad... just concern for young arms going that many innings. If the pitch counts were that "reasonable" I'm glad to hear it.

No worries at all. My posts were intended to be information only.

No negative intent whatsoever. Thanks for feedback.
