Still playing. Mercy rule is not used in this game?
So no mercy for the Gophers then!You would think this would be a mercy rule type of game, especially with it being the final game of the series and the second game of a double header.
- A mercy rule may be in use, which terminates play when one team is ahead by 10 or more runs after seven innings (6½ innings if the home team is winning). In games that are scheduled for seven innings the rule takes effect in the fifth. This rule is not used in NCAA tournament games. Several conferences institute this rule only on Sundays or the final day of a conference series so that the visiting team can travel early. In some conferences, the mercy rule may also be used to end such games in order to start the next tournament game sooner.
I think for the BTN+ announcer’s sake, they should have ended it in the 7th. He seems to slowly be going crazyYou would think this would be a mercy rule type of game, especially with it being the final game of the series and the second game of a double header.
