At the time I thought the same thing. But there were some rumblings about not having the current inning complete and reverting back to the previous inning's score.
But since the umpires allowed the game to continue, I began wondering if that could be the case. If the home team was ahead after 4.5 or 5 innings, they could have called it and that would be that.
When the third out was called, it seemed to confirm the finality of the outcome. Once the home team went ahead, they could have just called it. Don't know why they didn't. It could have resulted in a protest one way or the other that
should have clarified.
But this way, there was no room for argument.
