When in doubt, I clear the field. No game is worth injuries, I am not a meteorologist, therefore I use the Federation guidelines to the letter. I don't care what anybody else says. If I'm umpiring on the field, it's a strict 30 minutes from the last strike period. If they want to go back out, they're doing it one man and with me going on the record saying that I dont' think we should resume play. I'm not messing around. Everybody wants to play until somebody dies, then "the umpires should've never sent them back on the field." Pretty easy to prove negligence if there's a Federation guideline in place.
