While most baseball fans love nothing more than a ballgame running into extra innings, an elongated game may have been the worst possible outcome for supporters of the Portland Pickles this weekend.
The Pickles, a collegiate woodbat team that plays in the West Coast League—a summer league based in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia—forced extra innings after a stunning eight-run comeback Saturday against the Springfield Drifters.
Their efforts to pull off a miraculous win, however, were cut short after lights at the stadium shut off in the 12th inning.
