How does Ole Miss look bad here?


They made zero effort to beat the weather or even tarp the field. They refused any effort to resume the game at a later date.

The rule makes perfect sense.


I have no issue with the rule, or the umpires. And I haven’t seen any coach/admin from La Tech complaining about them either.

I know it could be a logistical nightmare, but I think the rule should either be completed at a later date or voided altogether if that can't happen.

But as I think more about it, last night was a pretty rare occurrence where the team that was winning when the delay happened ended up losing. Let's say Ole Miss was up 12-1 when the delay happened in the 7th inning, it'd be pretty fricked up if that result was voided. Maybe a rule in place that if it's a case like last night, there has to be a way to finish the game at a later date.

The game was stopped for lightning, not rain, by the way.

How do you think contracts between universities work? Do you think Coach Bianco and the LT Coach can just agree to finish the game at a later date? What about travel? Expenses? Academics? It's not just as simple as "okay, we'll see y'all next Wednesday to play two innings."
