This is just a bug brought around by having silly ratings for players, but a bug none the less.

The game summary record has an innings field which is a byte, and thus can only store up to 255.

Thus when a game goes to the 256th inning it rollsover and starts at 0.

Because of this, if a unanswered run is scored in innings 256-263 it doesn't end the game as it thinks it's still in the first 9 innings of the match. I would have thought the game would have set an Extra-Innings flag rather than rely on the innings count.

This game was around 200 innings longer than any that had been done before using these settings and I only noticed it when I saw the box score going to 9 innings and the teams having managed 67 hits between them which I thought was impressive given that only 1 run had been scored.

Oakland had scored in the top of the 260th inning and The Bronx did not reply so the game should have ended there, but it went on to the 265th inning...

The game lasted a staggering 56:54... I wish I'd checked on the fatigue status of the players after that.
