Suspended game

[Walter_Johnson]

Hmmmmm!!!
Thanks for the introduction to, "The Official Forum."

My question was stated rather simply, so that I might garner a better understanding of this rule, figuring someone might jump in that would be willing to exchange questions...
My confusion came this summer when an umpire called a game after 2 and 1/2 innings because of weather. The visiting team (owning a 3-0 lead) asked if the game was a suspended game. The umpire replied, "No, it has to be a regulation game before it can be suspended."
This is American Legion baseball played under OBR with suspended games.
Was the umpire correct? If so why?

Thanks
