Great game mgt vs. "its the umps fault"

[JefferMC]

Our rec 10U rules:

1) "1:30 time limit, no new inning after 1:25" (I don't know why they say 1:30, because there's no drop dead, just no new inning after 1:25).
2) Pitcher may not pitch more than 3 innings per game, nor more than two consecutively.
3) 10 batters per inning limit.

4 teams, about 4 good or better pitchers in the league. So, at least one inning will almost always be a walk fest, normally scoring 8 runs.

Last night, I called one of the games. One team's best pitcher didn't show. The other decided not to pitch their best pitcher (probably the best in the league). I think they pitched four other girls. One threw 2 strikes in 6 batters and I think they surprised her as much as they did me. It took 1:25 minutes to play 3 innings.
