What the hells bells. Lots of red coming up from the south into Chicago until 1 am. Any chance they just call this one official in an hour and call it a wrap for us?
In Major League Baseball, if a rain delay occurs in the 9th inning after a team has taken the lead, the game becomes a suspended game and will be completed at a later date. This is because the visiting team taking the lead in an incomplete inning means the outcome is not yet finalized.. They will suspend the game and pick
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Regulation Game:
In a regulation game, if the home team is trailing and the game is called due to rain, the result is final if the visiting team's lead is in an inning that has been completed.
- Suspended Game:
If the visiting team takes the lead in an inning that is not yet completed when the rain delay occurs, the game is suspended and will be resumed at a later date from the exact point of suspension.
- Later Date:
The suspended game is resumed with the same lineups and batting orders as when the game was stopped.
