The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> and Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> just kept on playing in World Series Game 3.<\/p>\n

The longest World Series game ever went 18 innings in 2018. Could this one go longer?<\/p>\n

Is there a max innings limit in baseball?<\/p>\n

No, there is no innings limit on a baseball game.<\/p>\n

Baseball can be played forever. If no one scored a run, the game would never end.<\/p>\n

Usually, someone scores.<\/p>\n

As the game goes along, the pitching conceptually gets worse, making it easier to score runs.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, one hitter just runs into one once to hit a home run that makes the difference.<\/p>\n

But there are no ties (especially not in the World Series), and there are no early endings.<\/p>\n

Could MLB step in if the game got to the 25th inning and postpone it until the next day? That might be possible, although it’d be unprecedented.<\/p>\n

But otherwise, the game goes until someone has more runs at the end of an inning than the other team. Until then, keep playing ball.<\/p>\n
