On officiated games, the umpiring crew keeps the official game time. The time limit rule is in effect and will be enforced. No new inning will start after the time limit has expired and the game will be considered a regulation game. When time expires and either team is up by more than their respective run rule limit, the game will end as an official game.

● TBall games will consist of two innings, with all players batting each inning.

Note: Score is not officially kept for this division.

● Rookie games will consist of three innings, or one hour with a drop-dead time of one hour, 15 minutes. Note: Score is not officially kept for this division.

● PeeWee 7 games will consist of five innings, or no new inning after one hour, 40 minutes. Games can end in a tie.

● PeeWee 8 games will consist of five innings, or no new inning after one hour, 40 minutes with a drop-dead* time of one hour, 50 minutes. Games can end in a tie.

● Minor and Major games will consist of six innings, or no new inning after one hour, 40 minutes. Games can end in a tie.

● Prep 13U, Prep 14/15U, and Prep 16-18U games will consist of seven innings, or no new inning after one hour, 40 minutes. Games can end in a tie.

* When drop-dead is reached one of the following will apply:

● If the visiting team is at bat, or if the home team is at bat and losing, the score will default to the last completed inning.

● If the home team is winning, or the game is tied, the score at the drop-dead time stands.

The game ends when the visiting team completes its half of the last inning, and the home team is winning. If the visiting team has scored fewer runs than the home team has scored in their allotted innings, both the inning and the game end immediately when the winning run is scored and before three players are out.

Suspended Game

If a game is called by the umpire because of weather, darkness, or any other cause which makes further play impossible before it becomes a regulation game, it will become a suspended game. The official scorekeeper will record the suspended time of play in GameChanger. At a later date, as scheduling allows, the game will be resumed from the point of play where the game was suspended. (For example, games will resume at the point of play with runners on base, same number of outs, and with the same batter count when play was suspended.) For pitch count purposes, the innings pitched during a resumed game will be considered during the week the game is resumed, not from the week it was suspended.

Bad Weather – The game will be considered a full game due to bad weather if one hour has elapsed or three* complete innings have been played.

*Prep 13U, Prep 14/15U, and Prep 16-18U Divisions must complete four innings.

Should the game be considered complete, based on time or innings, one of the following will apply:

● If the visiting team is at bat, or if the home team is at bat and losing, the score will default to the last completed inning.

● If the home team is winning, or the game is tied, the score at the drop-dead time stands.

Lightning – Games will be stopped for 30 minutes when lightning is detected within five miles of the baseball park. Any subsequent lightning after the beginning of the 30-minute delay will reset the clock for another 30 minutes. If the time exceeds the playing time the game will be considered a suspended game or a regulation game due to bad weather.
