I must admit, I hate two-hour time limits for NNI. I much prefer something tolerable like NNI at 1:20, drop dead at 1:30. Two-plus hours of softball is excessive, especially at the 12U rec level, where I typically see those long limits.

As much as I did not want to do it, (I had something else I should have gotten done by 9), I was honest and we played the inning. I just wish the batter had not swung on that last pitch. The way the catcher was throwing the ball back to the pitch, those last 30 seconds may have run off the clock before another pitch was thrown.
