Last night, playing on a field with no lights, we went to the 9th inning. The fact that the wind was blowing 50 mph in from left and it was just a terrible night for baseball doesn't really matter (I swear I saw a fly ball to center get blown foul).
The visiting team scored three runs in the top of the 9th. Clearly, the home time was stalling as the light continued to depart. We were probably within 5 pitches from unplayable conditions when the last out was recorded.
The visiting team was not throwing the ball around, didn't warm up after the top of the 9th and was clearly in 'hurry up mode'. The home team was taking two strikes.
So the question, is the game suspended or revert to the last inning or scored a tie or a do over? I heard all four being talked about in the stands by both teams.
Is this a local thing or covered under high school rules?
Why aren't lights standard equipment? Don't answer that one as I'm sure $ are the reason.
