I don't see why ties are a bad idea.

One other idea that I really liked is that when extra innings are reached, then you automatically go back to the top of the order, the entire nine-man lineup gets to bat. However many runs they score is the target score and then the home team gets to try and match it.
If no runs are scored, it is based on the farthest on the base paths you reached.
So if the away team gets a runner to third, and the home team can only get one to first, then the away team wins.

If neither side can even get a runner on first then it's a tie.

I found it to be a pretty compelling idea. Sort of like cricket but much shorter.
