Well first off I agree 7U is crazy, but that's a whole other topic.

I guess my point in asking this question, like most questions was to find the answer. It was to educate myself some on baseballs tie breaker procedures. Is it common to have a 1-1 count when going to extra innings. And to your point, of getting the game over ASAP, once you have a tie game you need runs, not outs to finish the game. Again my point in the question of how does it make sense to have parts of the tie breaker rule to get outs quicker when the goal is to provide teams with a chance to get runs so you can finish the game.
