Georgia outlasts Tigers in 20-inning marathon

ATHENS, Ga. — Clemson and Georgia did not intend to play a doubleheader Tuesday at Foley Field in Athens, Ga., but that is exactly what happened.

The longest game of the Clemson-Georgia series, which began in 1900, finally ended at xxx Wednesday morning, 6 hours and 34 minutes after it began on Tuesday evening. It was the 236th meeting between the two rivals.

In the end, Georgia’s Connor Tate drove in Tucker Maxwell with the game-winner in the bottom of the 20th to end the marathon for a 3-2 victory. It was the longest baseball game in both Clemson’s and Georgia’s history.
