Not to throw a wrench in here, or maybe this has been discussed, but....

If this a Freshman DH, the AD might have had another reason to end the game: He is backed up on Varsity dates due to rainouts, and if there is more rain, his field may make playing future games very hard or impossible to do.

Then the thinking goes like this:

1. AD sees rain, and field getting muddy.
2. He knows that he has 4 varsity make-up dates he has to get in.
3. If it rains and the FR teams tear up the field, he has big problems getting Varsity games in.
4. Varsity is more important than JV of FR.
5. 'Voila!' The FR game is ended, pay the umps, get the tarp on and pray for a sunny day before FB season starts.

If the AD wants the game ended, take the $$$ and run, see if you can con him into getting paid for both, then head for the nearest Root Beer stand....
