A regulation game is 7 completed innings
Unless this situation arises, which can benefit either team in the end. Obviously baseball's play benefits the home team in general, this included.

Ole Miss did nothing wrong by the letter. It's just not a good look for a coach/institution that over the last few years has shown they'll play in any grey area they can.
Completely agree, but also the umpire ultimately calls the game over, not the coaches. It sounds like tarping the infield wouldn't have mattered much because it rained all night, but they could have moved it up. I know I've seen LSU move games up all the time to avoid bad weather.
These aren't weird college rules, though. MLB uses the same basic rules, and even if the two teams were playing again the next day it would have been declared an official game with the 4-3 score holding up. They only resume games if it's not a full 5 innings or if the score is tied at the end of the last completed inning.

quote:That is not true for a suspended game. If a game has not gone the regulation 7 complete innings the umpire can suspend it, but it ultimately falls on the coaches/administration to come to an agreement on how to handle the game. "Halted", "No Contest", or "Completed". Ole Miss had every right to not agree to the other options causing it to default to a "Completed" game. As it is a non-conference game there are no conference rules to abide by and if like most contracts for these games the contract probably defaulted to Home teams decision unless it interfered with Visiting teams travel rules. Not wrong, but not exactly right either.

Will never forget the rangers and Yankees in 2016 went into a rain delay in one of the first two of a three-game series. Rangers down 1 I believe in the 9th and Chapman is in. Rangers get two on immediately and it starts pissing rain.
Girardi kept talking to Chapman on the mound and was telling the ump he was worried about safety regarding Chapman having to grip a wet ball, like I said, it was a downpour.
Ump, like it was on command, goes into a delay. Banister is red hot and starts going after the umps and Girardi shortly afterwards. Tells them all they’ll wait all night to finish the game. They waited 3.5 hours.
Game eventually started again at 2:15 am and the Rangers ripped off four runs and eventually closed the Yankee trash out in the bottom.
ETA: SI link outlining the events
Any ‘suspended’ or ‘abandoned’ baseball game is a joke and separates those looking for loopholes to win from those willing to compete for a fair outcome on the field of play.
