On another subject, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the Dodgers played the Pirates in Pittsburgh. On Thursday, the Dodgers were ahead 5-3 going into the 8th inning. In the top of the 8th, the Dodgers scored one run to make it a 6-3 game, and which point the game went into a rain delay. Eventually, they called the game because of rain.
Now...here's the odd thing. All official accounts of the game that I have seen indicate that the game ended with a 6-3 score "Final/8." But why? I always understood the rule to be that, if a game that has become official is called before the completion of nine innings, the score reverts to what it was at the end of the last completed inning. In this case, that would mean the final score would be 5-3 "Final/7." It's a Dodger win regardless, but what's the deal? Anyone have any insight into the rule so I don't have to look it up?
