Of course, if it's not close, some umpires will clean the plate a few more times to be sure the time is used.
BTW, is it customary to inform the coaches when you think it's the probable last inning for a time limit?
And then, do you look more closely for stalling by the leading team?

I normally do not inform the coaches when it's the probable
last inning. They usually do something crazy and get one of
their players hurt. On a finish the batter situtation, I wait
until the batter has completed her turn, then inform the teams
that the game has ended. This type of timed game is normally
for pool anyway. But most coaches want to "win" even when
the draw has already taken place.
