The only game I have every called due to darkness was called with bases loaded and 2 out in bottom of the 7th. The visiting team was up about 7 runs at the beginning of the inning and when I called it they were still up by 4but it had been a 20 minute half inning with a pitching change. The sun had been down about 10 minutes or so. The pitch came, the catcher caught it so he saw it, I called the pitch so I saw it, but the batter turned to me and said I can't see the pitch. GAME OVER! Nobody said a word.

I had a game last year in a town about 30 miles away. It was raining where i was so I called the school and they said there was light drizzle but they planned to play. I go, and as I arrive it was raining more than a drizzle. My partner comes up to me and asks what I think. I think we need to go find out if the coach wants to pay a full game fee for nothing or a half game fee for nothing. I walk out to F6 position and it's slick, but not puddling. I go over to the dugout and coach says "what do you think?" I say "if it would stop raining and the sun come hard and hot for about 2 hours I think it would be playable" He agreed.
