Yeah MLB has extra innings if scores are tied at the end of 9. I remember watching a White Sox game while I was in Chicago and they were up to 14 innings at 2am before I stopped. Think the game went to 16 or more before it was over.


7 hours is a fair estimate for most games that go for 9 though. I went to Fenway for a match that started at 6:30pm and left the ground at 9:30 or 10pm. Most innings went by quick but the final 3 dragged as fatigue set into the teams.


Even if you miss game 2, there's still games 3 and 4 minimum before a winner is crowned though. Most US leagues function on a best of 7 game series. Unless you're the NFL, think that's a knock out tournament for the post season.
