    A minor league game in the Class-A Florida State League lasted 23 innings Monday night before the Jupiter Hammerheads finally beat the Clearwater Threshers 2-1.

    With one out in the bottom of the 23rd, Jose Duarte singled home Jaime Ortiz with the winning run to end it after 5 hours, 37 minutes. Ortiz had singled off losing pitcher Justin Friend, who entered to start the 23rd.

    Clearwater is a Philadelphia Phillies affiliate, while Jupiter is a Florida Marlins farm team.

    Attendance was 330 for a game that began at 6:30 p.m. and ended after midnight.
