17 Inning Playoff Game Could Be Longest Playoff Game Ever

On Oct 7, the Hawks and the Psychos got locked up in a game that just kept on going...After a 2-1 first inning that saw the Psychos lead right off the bat, Hawks pinch hitter Ben Gamel lead off the 7th inning with a game tying home run that set the stage for 10 more innings of baseball.
In the 17th inning, after a walk to Yandy Diaz and a strike out by Michael Brantley, Hawks star Peter Alonso homered to end the game and help the Hawks stave off elimination, final score 4-2.  Of note, Hawks reliever Hector Neris who had a regular season ERA of 6.11, threw 5 scoreless innings to pick up the win.

It was very unusual that in MLB on May 17, the same day that this monster game was run in the TBGBL, that Peter Alonso hit a 10th inning homer for the New York Mets to walk off that game versus the Tampa Bay Rays...

And an usually ratio for the Hawks in this game....22 strike outs versus only ONE walk...
