Diving catch. Throws back to second, then first for a triple play. But the runner on third has tagged in the meantime to score and tie the game. Defensive team appeals that the runner at third left too soon. Appeal upheld. Run denied. Game over. I heard a description of a possible five out inning by a current MLB umpire observer the other day.
Bases loaded with one out. A fly ball is caught two outs. All three runners leave early. As he pointed out, why would a team appeal beyond the third out, but theoretically they would have the right. He described this situation as the maximum outs allowed in a half inning under current MLB rules. Also, thinking about the 4 strikeouts in an inning, it occurred to me, why do we even credit a pitcher a strikeout when the catcher boots the ball?
How can it not be an out? A baserunner is either out or safe. If the runner is not safe and the score does not count, then he is OUT. Dave- that situation could happen, but in the scorebook the out should still go to whatever benefited the defense the most.

The seventh inning stretch is a tradition within baseball that takes place during the middle of the seventh inning, between the top and bottom halves. During the seventh inning stretch, fans are given an opportunity to get up and walk around before sitting down to watch the back end of the game. Additionally, many ballparks will play "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and fans will sing along. Some parks will play a song of their own, like the Red Sox, who play "Sweet Caroline" at every game during the seventh inning stretch.
A standard MLB game will typically last a total of nine innings, unless the game is part of a double header or goes to extra innings.
However, there are also instances where games are cut short due to poor weather conditions like rain. In order for these games to be considered official, the teams involved must complete five innings. That being said, if the home team is leading going into the bottom of the fifth inning and rain causes the game to wrap up early, it will still be deemed an official game.
This system is similar to the format used in the ninth inning, as the home team has no reason to bat if they already lead after the road team has exhausted each of their opportunities at the plate.

Youth League Innings In youth baseball leagues, games usually last six innings or less. Summary Baseball is a game played with nine innings. If the home team is leading after the visiting team has made three outs in the top of the ninth inning, the home team wins and does not have to come to bat in the bottom of the ninth.
If the game is tied after both teams have made 27 outs each, the game will go to extra innings. It will continue until the home team takes the lead at any point, or the visiting team takes the lead and the home team subsequently makes three outs without tying the game or going ahead.
