Does ERA change if you play 7 innings?
ERA stands for Earned Run Average. The number of innings per game determines how ERA is calcuated. In Major League Baseball they play 9 innings so ERA is calculated with this equation, Earned Runs divided by 9. High School baseball (at least where I am located) plays 7 innings as a regulation length game. In this case a pitcher's ERA is Earned Runs divided by 7. In Little League the a regulation game is 6 innings, so ERA would be determined by Earned Runs divided by 6. If you are playing a game and it goes in to extra innings then a pitcher's ERA is not affected by the extra innings. If a regulation game is 6 innings, and the game goes into the seventh inning, then a pitcher's ERA is still determined by # of earned runs divided by 6. In summary ERA is ALWAYS determined by the amount of Earned Runs allowed divided by the number of innings played (not including extra innings).

A better measure of a pitcher's control would be fewest walks per 9 innings. About a dozen pitchers had a ration below 1.0, which means (on average) they would walk fewer than one batter for every nine innings they'd pitch. The all time leader was Candy Cummings, who had an average of .47; and, in his career, started 241 games but only walked 113 batters. Note, however, that record-keeping was less precise in the 1870s than it is today.
