From Rule 6 of the NCAA book, Starting the Game:
SECTION 3. The game begins when the plate umpire calls or signals,
“ Play/Play ball.” The game shall start on time unless the home team gives previous notice that the game has been postponed or will be delayed in
s t a r t i n g .
IMO, and this is pure opinion, if the game did not start, it cannot be suspended by the umpire. Therefore, unless the PU started the game as per the rule above, it never existed, start from scratch the following day.
I could be wrong, but that's how I would look at it.
