Playing beyond third out

Ignore everything which happened after the 3rd out was executed. The batter due up at the beginning of that teams next at bat would be the first extraneous batter in the previous inning.

Of course the next question (most likely from the team that is behind) is:

What about the time limit?

Since there are really no OFFICIAL time limit rules, I would hope (but not expect) this was addressed in local rules. Unfortunately, as is almost always the case with local rules - they don't address everything and umpire has to make it up on the fly.

I think I, as UIC, would have no trouble backing up whatever PU decided in this case regarding time limit... so long as the question came up RIGHT THEN, and not at the end of the game. Kind of like injuries in a time-limit game... it's kind of up to us as to whether we should add time to the clock, and if we're going to, we should do it RIGHT THEN and make sure everyone knows it.

Rule 5 sec 10? (ASA)

Sigh. Does 5.10 answer your question?

not in terms of the OP and my question (although your explanation as what you would do as a UIC makes sense)

I wasn't specific, but this is where I was going when I said the rules don't cover it. Sorry if I was abrupt - it's been a day.
