Doesn't shock me. I got a call where they were looking for an umpire to finish a suspended game on Tuesday -- game was in the 11th -- followed by a single 9 and they were going to pay full DH rates.

Two weekends ago we worked a completion of a suspended game (45 minutes) followed by a single 9 on a field barely fit for play. They used Diamond Dry on the infield itself and it will be a while before that field is back to normal (probably next season). If it was a HS game, I would've taken the lineup cards and thanked them for the check and then cancelled it, but if the colleges want to go and I have to drive 2+ hours, we'll play. I'll just wash the mud off later.
