Extra Innings “Sudden Death” Rule: If the game is tied after the completion of 9 innings or after completion of an inning once the game has reached
the 2.5-hour time limit, then the teams will play another half inning in a “Sudden Death” format with three outs. Before the start of the inning, the managers of both teams will join the home plate umpire at home plate for a coin toss. The manager of the home team will choose heads or tails, and the umpire will toss the coin. The manager of the team that wins the coin toss will decide whether to play offense or defense. The offensive team will begin with a runner on first base (the batter that made the last out in the previous inning), and the offensive team will continue hitting with whoever was scheduled to hit next in the lineup. If the offensive team scores, the offensive team wins. If the offensive team doesn’t score, the defensive team wins.

Extra Innings Rule

If the game is tied after the completion of 9 innings or after completion of an inning once the game has reached the 2.5-hour time limit, then the game will go to extra innings as follows:

The teams will play another half inning in a “Sudden Victory” format with three outs. Before the start of the inning, the manager of both teams will join the home plate umpire at home plate for a coin toss. The manager of the home team will choose heads or tails, and the umpire will toss the coin. The manager of the team that wins the coin toss will decide whether to play offense or defense. The offensive team will begin with a runner on first base (the batter that made the last out in the previous inning), and the offensive team will continue hitting with whoever was scheduled to hit next in the lineup. If the offensive team scores, the offensive team wins. If the offensive team doesn’t score, the defensive team wins.

Game Duration

The United Shore Professional Baseball League has implemented a 2 hour and 30-minute time limit to its games. The USPBL is the first professional baseball organization to place time limits on games to help speed pace of play. Under the USPBL’s 2.5 rule, no new inning will begin after 2 hours and 30 minutes, and the team leading at the end of the inning after the time limit has been reached will be declared the winner.

In the event of a tied game at the time the 2.5-hour time limit has been reached, the USPBL will utilize its Extra Innings “Sudden Death” Rule as set forth in this FAQ document.

USPBL players are comprised of recently graduated college baseball players from top-level programs around the country. The quality of the players is extremely high, and the league is scouted regularly by major league teams, with 52 players having been signed by Major League organizations since 2016, and 5 former USPBL players having made it all the way on to a Major League roster.

Photography

Fans are welcome to bring cameras into Jimmy John’s Field and may take pictures from their seats during the game. Any resale of the photography for any commercial purpose is strictly prohibited. The team name, logos, and player likenesses are all copyrighted material. Tripods are not permitted in the ballpark without a press credential.

Pitch Clock

In an effort to create a quicker pace of play, a 30-second timer between batters is used by the USPBL. Between pitches, a 15-second timer is used with the bases empty and a 20-second timer with runners on base.

The rule stipulates the following:

•  The pitcher must begin his motion to deliver the pitch before the expiration of the pitch timer. Pitchers who violate the timer are charged with an automatic ball. Batters who violate the timer are charged with an automatic strike.
•  Batters must be in the box and alert to the pitcher by the 8-second mark or else be charged with an automatic strike.
• With runners on base, the timer resets if the pitcher attempts a pickoff or steps off the rubber.
• Pitchers are limited to two disengagements (pickoff attempts or step-offs) per plate appearance. However, this limit is reset if a runner or runners advance during the plate appearance.
• If a third pickoff attempt is made, the runner automatically advances one base if the pickoff attempt is not successful.
• Mound visits, injury timeouts and offensive team timeouts do not count as a disengagement.
• If a team has used up all five of its allotted mound visits prior to the ninth inning, that team will receive an additional mound visit in the ninth inning. This effectively serves as an additional disengagement.
• Umpires may provide extra time if warranted by special circumstances. (So if, as an example, a catcher were to be thrown out on the bases to end the previous half-inning and needed additional time to put on his catching gear, the umpire could allow it.)

Rain Out Procedure

If the game is OFFICIALLY cancelled, postponed, or suspended, which means the game never started or we failed to complete an official game, fans should keep their ticket stubs with that game’s date. In most instances, a game that is cancelled, postponed, or suspended due to weather will be made up as part of a double header.

Fans are NOT REQUIRED to use their tickets for the make-up game. Rainout tickets may be used for a similar ticket location to a scheduled make-up or restart of a suspended game or may be exchanged for any remaining regular season USPBL game during the 2024 season at Jimmy John’s Field, based on availability. All tickets are based upon availability, and are valid for an equal, or lesser value, ticket. No full or partial refunds will be given for a difference in ticket price. Fans should redeem their tickets early once they know what game they would like to attend in order to avoid that game being sold out.

In order for a ticket exchange to take place, if the tickets are electronic tickets, please call the Box Office at (248) 759-5278 to make the exchange or email to boxoffice@uspbl.com. If the tickets are paper tickets, they must be presented in person to the ticket Box Office at the time the transaction is taking place, or the tickets can be mailed in for an exchange.

USPBL Network Game Broadcast

All USPBL games on the public game schedule are live streamed on our USPBL Network broadcast of each game on our YouTube Channel (United Shore Professional Baseball League) and our Facebook page.

Weather

The USPBL has every intention of playing each game, even when the weather forecast may be calling for rain. Jimmy John’s Field’s playing surface includes state-of-the-art drainage in the outfield and an oversized tarp to cover the infield dirt. This combination allows the USPBL a great chance to play ball regardless of the amount of rain that might fall prior to a game. The Jimmy John’s Field grounds crew will be hard at work to maintain and prepare the field for each and every game. A decision to play, suspend, cancel, or postpone will NOT be made prior to the scheduled start time of any game, and a game’s start time will more likely be delayed before an official decision is made. This is done to allow for additional time to evaluate the weather forecast for the Utica area.

There is NO SET TIME for the cancellation or postponement of a game due to weather. Each weather situation is different and includes unique variables and circumstances. Anytime weather is an issue, we weigh factors that include the amount of rain the field has already absorbed and future forecasts, including likelihood of future rain, possible rain duration, and the severity of additional weather. The decision to cancel or postpone a game due to weather is made with these, and many other, factors in mind. The most important factor we consider is the safety of our fans and the players. When weather is an issue, we make decisions that are in the best interest of the majority of those with tickets. We understand that each fan with a ticket to a game also has unique circumstances. Weather, good or not, is a factor to consider with an outdoor entertainment option, such as USPBL baseball.

Please keep in mind weather forecasts in our area (TV and radio) are intended to cover an area of well over 100 square miles. We utilize multiple sources, including a professional weather service and radar, to pinpoint the weather at our specific location in downtown Utica to receive forecasts specific to our location. It may very well be raining at your house but be sunny with blue skies at the ballpark.

IF THE GAME DOES GET CANCELLED OR POSTPONED, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

If the game is OFFICIALLY cancelled, postponed, or suspended, which means the game never started or we failed to complete an official game, please keep your ticket stubs with that game’s date. Rainout tickets may be used for a similar ticket location to a scheduled make-up or restart of a suspended game or may be exchanged for any remaining regular season USPBL game during this season at Jimmy John’s Field, based on availability. All tickets are based upon availability, and are valid for an equal, or lesser value, ticket. No full or partial refunds will be given for a difference in ticket price. Redeem your tickets early once you know what game you would like to attend in order to avoid that game being sold out.
