would you expect to be paid if?

During a pony league double header, my partner and I finished the first game, we also started the second. In the first inning, the 3rd base side bank of lights went out, followed by the bank behind the backstop. We suspended the game. My partner and I both expected to be paid, when we got our checks, they only paid us for one. We made our position known, and so did they, they didn't budge , and we never worked for them again.

We both were expected to be paid, unfortunately, the powers that be in this particular situation didn't see it that way.

You started the game. I would expect full payment for both games or the suspended game fee (prior to becoming a legal game) if there was one in place. Your solution is the only real response you have although I would email every umpire I knew to let them know of the program's failure to pay for services rendered. Let them try to find umpires when they know they might not get paid.
