Word out of the national meetings this weekend is they are going to 7 inning games! Also I would assume that would keep rosters at 18 for good!

Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away...
Reidsville's Scott Bankhead did not come out of the visitor's dugout for bottom of the 9th inning of a game he was leading 10-1. Home team proceeded to score 9 runs in that at bat. Home team won game in the 11th I think.
That was the start of a 12 game winning streak for Eastern Randolph which helped them to a state semi final loss to Cherryville. Was longest, coolest summer of baseball I ever had the pleasure of playing.
With this rule Reidsville wins in 7 easily.
Where's the fun in that?
This 7 inning debacle of an idea literally changed the dynamic of the American Legion World Series this year and it will change the dynamic of the game if this is indeed true. Why must Legion baseball always try to mess everything up? This isn't high school ball, but that's essentially what you're turning it into if you make the games 7 innings. I understand parents and people who work these games would like to be home earlier during the week day. I totally get that struggle. But changing the games to 7 innings only hurts the players, the team strategies, and the teams with actual depth.
