ncaa halted game

[newump]

when can a halted game occur in ncaa? only prior to a regulation game being played??

ie if home team is ahead 2-1 in bottom of 5th and rain forces the game to be stopped for the rest of the day, is the game over and home team declared winner?

am i correct think that halted game is only used for games stopped due to weather prior to regulation game - (4.5 or 5 inn) and games that are tied thereafter??

thx

No. If the Halted Game rule is in effect, the game must go 9-innings (or 10-after-7) no matter when it's stopped.

It's like what MLB did recently in the world series and then put in the rules -- the rule "a game is official after 5 innings" in not in effect.

Auburn would have had a game halted for TV a couple years back...

May 15, 2009

AUBURN, Ala. - Friday night's Southeastern Conference baseball game between Auburn and Alabama at Plainsman Park was halted with two outs in the top of the fourth inning due to rain and lightning with Auburn ahead, 3-1. The two teams will resume the game at 11 am CT on Saturday with Alabama's Josh Rutledge at the plate and a man on first.

Game three of the series will begin at 3pm CT regardless if game two is completed or not due to the live airing of game three on FSN South as part of the SEC Game of the Week. Should game two not be finished by 2pm, it will be resumed following the completion of game three.

Game two ended before the 2pm curfew, though. But I didn't even know that halting a game for a televised game was possible until that day.

Things like this remind me of the Holy Hand Grenade.
