100's of highlights: 100 Inning Home '06 |
Saturday April 22, 9:00 a.m. through Sunday April 23, 4:00 p.m. -- 31 straight hours Beginning Saturday, April 22 and concluding Sunday, April 23, the 3rd Annual 100 Innings of Baseball was played at at Fitton Field in Worcester, MA -- home of the Worcester Tornadoes & Holy Cross. The game lasted 100 innings, about 31 straight hours. More than 100 players suited up to play, and 22 players participated the entire game, including umpire Walt Bentson. The past two years, this marathon baseball game has raised close to $225,000 for Curt's Pitch for ALS (Curt Schilling's charity). The Boston Men’s Baseball League and ALS Association is still counting funds raised from this year's contest. Down 65-66 in the 97th inning, Matt Dumas delivered a 2-RBI single to give Team Stamina a 67-66 lead, one they would not relinquish. Team Stamina went on to defeat Team Endurance, 69-66. Dumas also had the first hit of the game, 96 innings earlier in the top of the 1st. John Silk was the winning pitcher of record. Of note, Shonda Schilling (Curt's wife) pitched the 94th inning for Team Endurance, allowing 1 earned run off a hit batsman and a double.
