OakHillHokie ....

I wasn't able to watch the game either, but my understanding is that once the rain start coming and Auburn got behind, they immediately went above and beyond to slow up the game and "run out the clock". All while harassing the umps to call the game due to weather as each minute went by. i.e sounds like they changed pitchers a bunch of times back to back to bleed the clock and allow more time for rain to make the field un-playable (i.e. if Auburn would have just woman-ed up and played, the game likely could have finished all 7 innings). Feels like an is what it is. Running out the clock like that ... I've seen it many times in travel ball, but to me at least it seems ridiculous to see it happen at this level. Especially opening weekend? Me personally I'd rather see our Hokies battle full out and lose than sneak out the back door with a tie. Is what it is.

What am I missing? In a rainout, the score always reverts to the last

The radar was clearing and the field had been prepped.
