Pitchers who play for five or fewer innings in one game can pitch in a second game on the same day, but not for more than 10 innings in the two games combined. He is not allowed to appear in three games in a day.
High school baseball games end when the team with the lower score finishes its last up in the seventh inning or the next inning when one team is ahead. In Oklahoma, when one team is ahead by 10 or more runs at the end of the fifth inning, the game is over. Games called on account of weather or darkness after five innings count except in the state tournament.
Baseball coaches have to accept that people, including umpires can sometimes make mistakes during a game. The OSSAA has a policy, adopted by its board of directors, of not honoring protests based on a rule situation or that would second guess or overturn the decision of the umpires officiating at a game. A coach that is thrown out of a game, leaving no assistant coach or faculty member to take over forfeits the game.
