Playing out second game of doubleheader

I tried playing out the second game of a scheduled doubleheader by clicking on the "Manage" link for that game. This was done in the "Simulate World in Background" mode, which ordinarily means that when the selected game comes up, any games that have been completed earlier in the day show up in the "Live Coverage" display with their final scores. So I was expecting to see the outcome of the first game of the doubleheader in that display. But in this case, even though I selected the second game and the clock shows the correct start time for that game, it appears that it is the first game that is being played out. There are two reasons for thinking this. First, the Live Coverage display does not show the first game as having been completed -- indeed, it shows only the game that I have started and does not list an additional game between the two teams. Second, the starting pitchers were those listed in the day's schedule for the first game that I looked at before selecting a game to play out. So there is something odd in how doubleheader games are played out.
