Frontier League adds sudden-death play-offs to extra-time innings in 2022

The exact process: If a match is tied at the end of play (nine innings for a traditional match and seven innings for a doubles match), there will be one additional innings of regular play. If it is still tied, an innings played under International Tiebreaker (ITB) rules will be played. The ITB rules were used by MLB in 2020, where a runner would start the innings at the second base and give each team a chance to take the lead.

After the ITB innings, the game will move to a sudden-death breakout. Here is the description of the MLB Partner League:

Field managers will meet with referees with the home manager choosing offense or defense. For the team that is on the attack, the player on the lineout card immediately preceding the batsman will start on the first base. The defending team will have three results to prevent the offense from scoring points. If the team scores points on the attack, they will win the match, while if the defending team exits the team without scoring a run, they will win. As with the ITB runner, if the runner was placed on first base scores, the run would be undeserved.
