On May 30, 2009, the Eagles played in the longest game in college baseball history—a 25-inning game—during the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship regional tournament at Austin, Texas. The University of Texas Longhorns—who were designated the visiting team despite playing on their home field—won, 3–2. The game lasted seven hours and three minutes.[1] [2]
The team has traditionally played an exhibition game each spring against the Boston Red Sox, as part of the Red Sox' spring training (Grapefruit League) season at JetBlue Park at Fenway South.[3]
This game began in 2012 and is played in honor of former captain Pete Frates (2004–2007), who was diagnosed with ALS in 2012.[4]
