Actually Mr. Trop is correct in saying that a rain postponed
game doesn't begin from where it left off, but it doesn't begin
at the last complete inning either.  Two years ago the Brewers and 
the Orioles were tied 2-2 in the ninth when a downpour ensued.

After waiting about two hours the game was called.  It was replayed
from the first inning at a later date, not replayed from the ninth
inning or eighth(the last completed inning.  The "tie" game went
into the record books as a tie and the records (batting and pitching)
all counted, but the game was replayed.

In reference to the striking one's self out, if the game were suspended
because of a power failure, or because of darkness at Wrigley, it would
work I think.

Yours in the net,
