Recently in a college age summer league game, we had an umpire call a game due to the field being unfit for play. It had rained the night before, we spent the entire day getting the field ready. Game time was at 330 pm and it was 85 degrees and sunny outside. We played two complete innings, top of the third our pitcher went to the ground to get out of the way of a third basemen making a throw from a bunt. Umpire thought he had slipped since grass was still wet in spots from night bedore. Thus, he declared field unplayable. After questioning him his main complaint was he didn't want to get sued because he sees umpires getting sued all the time from players getting hurt on wet fields.

HAS ANYONE HEARD OF/SEEN/DEALT WITH THIS SITUATION BEFORE AND/OR ACTUALLY SEEN A SUCCESSFUL LAWSUIT FROM SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
Thank you in advance for your input.
