Guest Ranger83 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/hso/7511721.htmlThe rule is in place to stop such lopsided wins before the run-rule is in effect. However, I do not know of many high school coaches that would agree to "concede" for any reason.
MrUmp1 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 I read this article and was quite amused by it. I know we have had numerous games at the 1A level that have been stopped before 4 1/2 innings. I have no idea if it is suppose to be reported to state or not that the contest was shortened. One reason for the rule was so that a team behind by let say 20 runs after 3 innings, had a way out to stop the game without a forfeit being called which did have to be reported. If a team forfeited to many games then they were placed on probation or the baseball program could have been eliminated. No one wants to see a travesty made of the game or kids humiliated.
