I work a rec league that has an 1:30 no new inning and no drop dead. In tournaments I go by the exact time. if there are 30 seconds left on the clock, I'll start the next inning. But in rec games I would stop the game. I had one just last week. Only about 10 seconds left and coach wanted to start a new inning. This was a weeknight and sun was setting with no lights for backup. Sorry, game over. This season I have had 2 games finish innings with about 3 or 4 minutes left on the clock. in these situations i started a new inning and like they say, "no good deed goes unpunished". Both times coaches realizing it is the last inning and game pretty much decided. So they move all the kids around to positions they don't know how to play and the games went on for 30 and 40 minutes respectively. In one of the games it delayed the next game by 20 minutes.

So I fully support an umpire using his discretion when there are only seconds remaining.
