65-0 game called to darkness

Be thankful that you weren't working this game (unless you were working this game, then... sorry?).

 

I am not familiar with FED rules but according to article it was called due to darkness because the 5 inning minimum had not been reached, does this mean the game is technically suspended or might they actually re-start this game?  I would think that they let the result stand and/or the team losing simply forfeits.

Depends on the local / state "game ending rules"

It's suspended, but I don't get why they just didn't end it by mutual agreement of the coaches and UIC, which is an option here.

Because they were just then putting on the rally caps! Duh!
