Based on the USSSA Weather rules (below), with the following scenario, should the game be declared suspended or a team declared a winner?
Game is stopped in the top of the third only 2 boys have batted there is 1 out, the rain comes in and the game is stopped. The visiting team is up 5,Home team is 2.
7.03.C If a game is called due to rain, weather, light failure or other acts of God and cannot be resumed, it is a regulation game if:
7.03.C.1 For a scheduled six (6) inning game, if three (3) innings have been completed or if the home team has scored more runs in two (2) innings or two and one half (2 1/2) innings than the visiting team has scored in three (3) complete innings or if the home team scores one (1) or more runs in its half (1/2) of the third (3rd) inning to tie the score.
7.03.C.1(a) If a regulation game is called with the score tied and one (1) or more innings has been completed beyond three (3) innings, the score shall revert back to last completed inning, or last completed half (1/2) inning if the home team leads but back no further than the third (3rd) inning. Games that cannot be declared a regulation game by USSSA Rules 7.03.C.1 & 7.03.C.1(a) shall be a suspended game. |

| Suspended based on your scenario provided. 3 innings had not been "completed". The only way, based on how I read that, you could get away with declaring a winner without 3 completed innings, is if the home team was ahead after 2 1/2 innings (essentially having the lead after the top of the 3rd). |
