College baseball games typically last about 2.5 to 3 hours. They are usually structured to have nine innings, similar to Major League Baseball (MLB) games, but the actual duration can vary depending on factors such as pitching changes, scoring, pace of play, and whether extra innings are needed in the case of a tie

. Some games may be shorter or longer due to specific rules or situations:

• Doubleheaders or non-conference games sometimes use seven-inning games, which are shorter

• The NCAA also has a mercy rule that can end games early if one team has a large lead after a certain number of innings, typically 10 runs after seven innings

• Extra innings can extend the game significantly beyond the standard nine innings, sometimes lasting four to five hours or more depending on how evenly matched the teams are

Overall, while the typical college baseball game is around 2.5 hours, game length is influenced by strategic decisions, game conditions, and specific league rules.
