Double ... there is no clock in collegiate softball ... they ALWAYS play 7 innings unless the mercy rule comes into effect when a team is down by 8 runs or more after 5 or 6.
While I understand that making a 3rd out to take the game to an extra inning can sometimes work, and I respect the heck out of Lee and some others who have done it, I just don't think I could ever bring myself to do that. One rationale I can think of to support it though is that it does cause the game to end up one inning closer to being regulation!
