In MLB, a baseball will last no more than 1/2 inning. Should there be a half inning when the ball is not fouled out of play and replaced or thrown in the dirt and replaced, the umpire will replace it after the third out.
If, in the opinion of the umpires, a game can not be continued without risk to the players or fans, it can be called prior to nine innings of play. If the team that has fewer runs at that point has had five full chances to score, then it is a game that counts in every way.
Thus, a game COULD end after a mere 4.5 innings of play, if the visiting team is behind in runs at the time the game is called.
Infinity. There is no limit. The two teams play until they've completed a full game and one team has more runs than the other.

Total outs during a regular game?
In a regular Major League baseball game, their are 9 innings. If the home team wins in 9 innings, there will be 51 outs in the game. If the visiting team wins, there will be 54 outs recorded. Of course, a game can end after 5 innings in weather or other outside influences cause the game to end before the 9 innings. This would obviously affect the number listed above. The number of outs would also increase if the game went into extra innings.

Does ERA change if you play 7 innings?
ERA stands for Earned Run Average. The number of innings per game determines how ERA is calcuated. In Major League Baseball they play 9 innings so ERA is calculated with this equation, Earned Runs divided by 9. High School baseball (at least where I am located) plays 7 innings as a regulation length game. In this case a pitcher's ERA is Earned Runs divided by 7. In Little League the a regulation game is 6 innings, so ERA would be determined by Earned Runs divided by 6. If you are playing a game and it goes in to extra innings then a pitcher's ERA is not affected by the extra innings. If a regulation game is 6 innings, and the game goes into the seventh inning, then a pitcher's ERA is still determined by # of earned runs divided by 6. In summary ERA is ALWAYS determined by the amount of Earned Runs allowed divided by the number of innings played (not including extra innings).
