We usually have two and sometimes three games per night starting at 400p, and have a no-new-inning time limit of 90 minutes. But if the first couple of games go long i.e. tied games going extra innings or a game with no decent pitching where the time expires just as the visitors are coming to bat so you have to get thru six very slow outs to finish the game.. the last game is usually scheduled to start at 745pm but if the field is running behind it might start after 800pm which means those teams are not getting a full 90 minutes.
I guarantee that a high school basketball game that goes into multiple overtimes will not be stopped just because it's 930pm. Weird.

That IS a joke, folks.
