"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you're one of those people who whines about how baseball games are too long, you should, for the sake of your own sanity, stop reading right now, because a high school game in Japan just took a whopping &lt;em&gt;50 innings to complete&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The contest, between Chukyo High and Sotoku High, began last Thursday and finally concluded today, with a 3-0 win for Chukyo. Both starting pitchers -- Taiga Matsui for Chukyo and Jukiya Ishioka for Sotoku -- pitched the entire game, each throwing over 680 pitches.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Proving there is no rest for the weary, Chukyo had to play a second game -- the final of the National High School Rubber Baseball Tournament -- in the afternoon, a contest which they won 2-0 to capture the title.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Someone get that kid some ice.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[Deadspin]\r\n&lt;strong &gt;GALLERY: THE BEST STREAKS IN SPORTS&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Stu White&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
