    Alright, played and watched all my life but I have one for you.

    Home team is leading 2-1 after the 6th inning (so this is technically a complete game by the innings standard). Visiting team scores 2 in the top of the 7th. Home team doesn’t get to bat due to a weather issue. Since the game is technically in the books after the 5th does the visiting team win or does the top of the 7th get wiped off the map and the home team wins?

    Once an inning has started you must complete that inning to finish the game. No matter the score or who’s up.

    Gotta finish out the bottom of the 7th inning since home team is trailing, the inning is not complete.

    game can never end in the top of an inning without home team leading or visitor forfeiting. I agree suspended and continue play if there are ramifications. not a loss or win… it would go incomplete if never made up.

    Thanks guys.. Since this was the last game of the season with no make up dates in the future it looks like this one will be a draw..
