Wonderful clock management

Without lights, it may get too dark (Mike) or stay light longer than I thought, depending on the situation.

Even with lights, it is still the umpire's judgment

But I called games with loads of light, but that was in the 3rd inning of what was already a very long game and I knew that we would never get the game in. So the first sign of intentional misses and lackadaisical swings nowhere near and not even looking at the ball, I called the game.

The coaches went nuts until I explained that the only alternative would have been to forfeit the game and in this case where both teams were doing what they could to counter the other instead of playing ball, I would have had no problem in declaring a double-forfeit and let both of them take a loss.
