I appreciate the statements about the umpire should finish the game and not cut the time short. My team usually drives over 2 hours to play travel ball tournaments. Even when we're facing elimination, we like to get our money's worth unless it's just too ugly to continue
. It is amazing how many people do not realize the next inning begins as soon as the 3rd out is obtained. I hear coaches (and even umpires sometimes) yell "Hurry, hurry get out there before time expires" when the inning has already started and they just need to focus on playing and enjoying the last inning.
