That time the home team didn't send a batter to the plate in the bottom of the inning

I understand what you're saying, but forfeits are like the F word. I try not to use them in a professional sense unless absolutely necessary.

In the case of the story I posted, it was much more accurate to post a 6-1 game in favor of the visitors than to go to the UIC and explain that I called a "game time minus 90 second" forfeit. What else could I do? Call alternating balls and strikes because neither team had a ready pitcher or batter?

Opinions may differ. I still like the way we finished that game. We left it in the teams' hands up until the timer went off.
