In the case of the story I posted, it was much more accurate to post a 6-1 game in favor of the visitors than to go to the UIC and explain that I called a "game time minus 90 second" forfeit. What else could I do? Call alternating balls and strikes because neither team had a ready pitcher or batter? 
Opinions may differ. I still like the way we finished that game. We left it in the teams' hands up until the timer went off. |
You wouldn't forfeit the game, the team did. It is not an opinion, but right there in black and white in Rule 5.4.C
