In situations like this, they would wait it out. I remember games picking back up at 1AM or later. They would pretty much only suspend a game if a rain cell gave no hope of resuming play, and then only after waiting an ungodly amount of time.
I love how ESPN has a digitial scoreboard up for both the Phillies-Braves game and another flipping between both AL games. Confusing as hell, but awesome for keeping up to date on all three games!
