Probably held Moore in there a little too long. He had already worked 2-1/3 and some the day before then it started to rain and he walked a couple. Ended up keeping SELA from winning, but the rain started coming down harder and the game was suspended. We'll resume it when we go back to SELA later next month

Actually umps should have suspended the game at the end of the 10th inning. It was raining pretty good and gripping the ball became a concern. Pitchers wound up having to throw only fast balls and you couldn't get a grip on the ball. Dylan Moore walked three and his replacement hit two batters. I heard a report that a SELA dad came out of the stands to confront an ump after his son was hit to ask him what he thought he was doing to keep playing (words may have been slightly altered to meet the high ethical standards of this board :-)). The game was called with SELA with a man on first with two out. The game will be completed when the Cajuns go back to SELA in the end of March.

So an entire outcome of a game depends on getting one out a month after the previous 9 1/2 innings? Was there lightning or something? No way they don't let them finish without the NCAA rules saying they can't. A slippery ball sounds like a personal problem not a reason to stop the game.

NCAA is about player safety first, traditional baseball second.

It's a nonconference game, so it's not the most important thing out there. I'll forever remember an AState game several years ago when we were down 4 and loaded the bases with 0 outs in the 8th inning. A freak Lightning strike led to a lengthy delay and a suspension to the next day.

First pitch after the suspension we hit into a double play, and that was that.

See I guess the thing is I don't see hit by pitch as a player safety issue, it's part of the game and the reason players wear helmets. Getting beaned by a 90 mph fastball hurts like hell but most likely won't cause serious injury, besides you take that chance every time you step up to the plate rain or shine.Lightning I understand but rain is an element that you have to deal with as a pitcher and if you can't adjust then it's to bad, so sad for you runner take your base. A team can even mitigate it to an extent... Did the equipment manager not watch the forecast the night before and have dry baseballs ready for this exact situation? Are you saying that both teams including the home team ran completely out of regulation baseballs and could not dry the wet ones off fast enough for use? It seems to me people were sick of being in the rain and the conditions were difficult so the ump prematurely called the game. Not what I like to see in baseball.

Or maybe you could stop the game earlier, which the umpire admitted he should have done after play was stopped.
