From June 1st to 6th in Caronno Pertusella (near Milan) Italy, two coed teams played for 120 hours (the equivalent of five days). The participants were men and women ranging from ages starting at 20 to over 60 years old. In total there were 54 players from nine countries: Bulgaria, Cuba, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, and Venezuela. The previous record was set last year in Alberta (Canada) at 115 hours, three minutes long.

Sleeping was done in tents at the field, as the participants were not allowed to leave the playing facility. In the end the teams played together for the final five hours, however.

The game started at 20:00 on June 1st and ended at 20:00 on June 6th with a final score of 761-749.

The Italian Softball Federation helped with umpires and scorekeepers. The event was organized by the local club, Caronno Rheavendors, and mainly their president, Giorgio Turconi, who is helping with development in the European Softball Federation commissions and is also an active contributor to the work of the Italian Federation.
