It should also be noted that in my state it's much more economical for the schools to pay officials for a DH than single games.
A single regular-season varsity game is $55 plus mileage ($0.45/mile both ways, minimum $9). A varsity DH is $78 plus mileage (at the same rate). i.e. When we work two games we aren't paid for two separate games ("you're already there").
The schools want to go to flat fees to help with budgeting so eventually that will probably happen, but I doubt that will result in any change to the way games are scheduled.
