Africa game being stopped with a 17-0 lead after '5'?

Personally, I don't understand why they don't allow the teams to play ball for the full nine innings. I played in quite a few T-Ball games with lopsided scores like that back in the day (hitting off a Tee is much easier than hitting a curve or fastball thrown at you), but I don't remember any of those games being stopped early. There's no harm in letting the teams play for a full game. [Jaydawg from Tarzana/CA] Replies: 2548
