F. Game Length: Games must last seven (7) innings or one hour and thirty (1:30) minutes, whichever comes first. A new inning begins when the previous inning's final out is recorded, and a new inning begins if any time remains on the official game clock. If the game goes into extra innings, they will continue to play until either a winner is determined or the umpires call an end to the game due to darkness, rain, lightning, snow, wind, or ice conditions that could affect play. In these cases, the game enters an extended inning state where no further outs can be recorded until after the conclusion of the extended inning. G. Innings: A female pitcher can pitch in up to three (3) innings before needing a rest. She can have as much time as she needs for her replacement to come from the bullpen or skip one over from the third pitcher. It is possible but not recommended to pitch four (4) innings twice in the same game unless your coach gives you permission to do so. Pitching more than three (3) innings in a single game increases your risk of injury. H. Hitter Time: The batter is given one (1) minute per inning to take their swing. This period starts once the pitcher delivers the ball to the catcher.
