discussion was held on the possible by-law change in VIII Baseball/Softball
concerning the completion of a suspended game.
Currently the IHSA, NFHS and SVC bylaws all state different endings for

a non official game to be started over if suspended.
There were several arguments for and against
this. Including the cost factor of
traveling to a site for maybe one inning or less. The impact that if one team was leading on a

pitchers could have an impact on the outcome.

A survey will be sent out to the coaches next week.
