RULE CLARIFICATIONS

Clarification of pitching rules in a suspended game for
9-10, 10-11, 11-12, Junior Baseball.

In a game suspended by darkness, weather or other causes and resumed the following calendar day, the pitcher of record at the time the game was halted may continue to the extent of his/her eligibility provided he/she delivered 40 or less pitches, and subject to each of these conditions:
A. A player may not pitch in more than one game in a day.
B. If the pitcher delivered 20 or less pitches before game was suspended pitcher's pitch count will began at zero for the continuation of the game.
C. If the pitcher delivered between 21 and 40 pitches before the game was suspended, that pitcher's count will begin with the number of pitches delivered in that game.
D. In a game suspended and resumed more than one calendar day later, B. & C. apply unless the pitcher of record pitched in another game in between. Since we are double elimination, that will not happen. Each game must be completed before next game is played.
