There is reference to Stanford's Quinn Mathews throwing 156 pitches.
I'm an old-timer. This is not new to Stanford. Stanford faced FSU in the semifinal elimination game in the 1999 CWS. I followed the game on-line on the NCAA game tracker that was painfully slow to update. Stanford had the game in the bag at the bottom of the ninth, but you were dreading what might happen. I've clipped the ugly details that are relevant to this thread:
"Stanford, which trailed 7-2 in the seventh, appeared to have it won with a 9-7 lead in the bottom of the ninth. Cardinal coach Mark Marquess elected to leave in Jason Young, who already had three complete games in the postseason.
It turned out to be the wrong choice. Young issued a leadoff walk to Jeremiah Klosterman and Kevin Cash then hit a two-run homer into the left center bleachers, tying it 9-9. It was Young's 167th pitch.'
