I dont have a LL Rulebook and therefore I am looking for help on a situation.
I assign officials and had to fill in for a Little League game last week. The visiting team was leading 5-3 at the end of the 4th with threating clouds of rain and thunder in the distance. The home team got up to bat and scored 11 runs. With one out, I stopped the game because of the weather and within ten minutes had to end the game completely. During the time the home team was at bat I kept thinking to myself that if I was this coach I would be getting some outs here because if the game ends, the score would revert back to the last inning and the visitors would win.
Before I left the field the coaches both asked me to sign the book and I did, noting that the score reverted back to the 4th where the visitor were winning. I followed up with the league and they stated that LL rules have changed and state that if the home team is wiining when the is stopped prior to the completion of the inning, then they are the declared winers.
This is a new one on me and not having a book in hand its been difficult to verify. Help. Are there any internet site where the complete rules have been placed? I cant find them.
