Games are considered a completed game after 1 hour and 25 minutes drop dead, Mercy Rule is met, or 7 innings are completed, which ever occurs first. If time expires before the inning is completed, the batter is finished and the game is over immediately (Drop Dead) and the score will revert to the last complete inning, unless the home team is up to bat and are ahead in the score or have tied the score.
