You're right. Both teams were going about usual between innings. I looked at my watch to releave the nervous tension. Not thinking about the 10-run rule, I wanted to know how long the next four innings would take. I use the watch before walking onto the ballfield. I also look at it as soon as I leave the field to see how long the game lasted. Luckily for me, the 10-run rule took effect and I called this game shortly before 2:10. The home team won my previous game 11-1 in about the same amount of time. I also keep my car keys in the bottom of the same pocket under my ballbag. Perhaps I am becoming a bit superstitious.
