Sometimes I don't think that we live in the same world. I call plenty of JV games that run 65 to 75 minutes, 7 innings. Quality games that look like what you expect varsity to look like.

Of course there are some stinkers in there. There are a few schools that don't have freshman teams, or good feeder programs (L.L., rec league); but the majority play pretty good ball.

Our freshmen games are usually 5 inning DH. Two hours and we are outa there. (Yes, once in awhile you are going to be there 3 1/2 hours!) I had one freshmen game last year where one pitcher already had played 16U travel ball. She and her opponent battled to a 2-1 game with lots of strikes and few walks.)
