Inning

This is commonly referred to as a "walk-off" situation since the last play results in the teams walking off the field because the game is over.

A baseball game can be shorter than scheduled innings if it is interrupted by rain (or other bad weather).

[10] College games may be shortened to seven innings if one team's score is ahead by a minimum of ten runs, or as part of a doubleheader.

[5] Little League games are scheduled for six innings and may be shortened further (auto-forfeit) if a team has an overwhelming scoring lead.

In US English, baseball terminology is sometimes found in non-sports usage in a tense situation: "it's the bottom of the ninth [inning]" (sometimes adding, "with two outs"), meaning "there isn't much time to turn things around here".
