In a modern baseball world where organizations are paranoid about pitcher ability and arm fatigue, ties are infinitely preferable to the half-assed "Second Base Ghost Runner" rule that MLB came up with a couple of years ago.

[league redacted] has been doing things just fine for a very long time: if the two teams can't find a way to separate themselves given three extra innings, then nobody is better and it ends in a tie. That seems perfectly reasonable to me.
