I guess it may depend on the rules set.
In ASA it is seven innings unless there is a run rule effected or a forfeit for some reason.
If it is not physically possible, there are game ending procedures. The most often, and to what I believe you are referring, would be if the game completes 5 innings (4.5, if home team ahead). However, for Championship Play, they try to avoid this manner of ending the game.
