Baseball rainouts
rule question:
yesterday the Tigers are at home. they get the Mariners out in the top of the 8th inning. The Tigers are down 4-1. In the bottom of the 8th it starts raining, and the Tigers are rallying. 2 outs, and they tie the game. Then the rain gets too bad to keep playing. there is a 3 hour delay. They do finally finish the game and we blow it anyway.
but here's my question, what is the rule for an incomplete inning if the game did not restart. I thought it was that if at least the 5th has passed (for the losing team) it counts as a game, and incomplete innings are just dropped. But here, since the Mariners had their at bats would the incomplete 8th have counted? (assume it was Tigers up 1 not a tie)
