Monte Lee, of course, had a pitching plan in place Tuesday night at No. 4 Georgia. However, he admitted there was no plan for his staff to pitch 20 innings in one night.
Who does?
The Bulldogs ended the longest baseball game in either school’s history at 1:33 in the morning on Wednesday at Foley Field in Athens, Ga., 6 hours and 33 minutes after it began. Connor Tate drove in Tucker Maxwell with the game-winner in the bottom of the 20th, lifting them to a 3-2 victory over No. 16 Clemson.
“We scripted it out for obviously a nine-inning game, as far as when we were going to kind of take Jacob (Hennessy) out, was based on pitch count to have him ready and available (for the weekend),” Lee said after the game.
