Most time limits are "finish the inning" meaning when the clock hits zero, you finish that inning. Note also that an inning starts as soon as the last out of the previous inning is made.

Some tournies use a "drop dead" limit, some may use a finish the batter.

You will find that time limits can become a giant pain in the butt! but (especially in "wreck" ball) they are a blessing!
