For those that are interested, 4.12(b)(4)(ii) is "Any suspended game not completed prior to the last scheduled game between the two teams during the championship season shall be a called game if such game has progressed far enough to become a regulation game, and the score is tied, the game shall be declared a "tie game" (unless the game is called while an inning is in progress and before the inning is completed, and the visiting team has scored one or more runs to tie the game, and the home team has not retied the game, in which case the score upon the completion of the last full inning shall stand for purposes of this Rule 4.12(b)(4)). A tie game is to be replayed in its entirety, unless the league president determines that playing the rescheduled game is not necessary to affect the league championship."

So for example, after 8 innings, Visiting Team (VT) has 5 and Home Team (HT) has 6.

Case 1: The game gets called at the top of the 9th with the score at 6-6. Because the HT has not retied the game, HT is declared the winner because the score at the end of the 8th inning is used in this case.

Case 2: The game gets called at the bottom of the 9th with the score at 7-7, 8-8 or any higher tied score. Because the HT has retied the game, the game shall be declared a "tie game".
