Dan, last night our game was called over at 8:42 at the end of the fifth inning. the rule states: "The first double header of the night will be finished by 8:45. If the second game has reached 8:45, then the current inning will be the last one. If the game is tied at that time, the game will end in a tie." My understanding of this rule is basically a inning cannot start after 8:45. Also, the score keeper stated that "no matter what the score or what half of the inning it is the game would have been called over at 8:45." This Interpretation will cause major problems if not addressed. I believe some clarification to the players, umpires and the score keepers need to be addressed to avoid potential problems. Thanks, Shane

He asked me and we got it cleared up. They had 8:45. If it's that close anyway, by a couple minutes I have no problems with it being over.
