Is it correct English sentence?
Should probably be "Once the rain stopped, the game began again" or even "With the rain having stopped, the game began again".
This is a 'Nominative Absolute Participial Construction' (gosh, what a name), and it can be used without 'with', only that is apparently rather antiquated/stuck-up.
A lot of English sentences from the original Tanaka Corpus are like that — not wrong per se, but sounding quite old.
