What happened to the mercy rule?
This is from the NCAA website:
Quote:If one team is up by eight or more runs after five or more equal innings, the plate umpire may declare the run-ahead rule. These complete innings must be played unless the home team reaches the eight-run lead while at bat — so technically, the shortest a game could go is four-and-a-half innings. If the visiting team reaches the eight-run limit in the fifth, or any inning after, the home team must be given the opportunity to bat in the bottom half of the inning.
Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip.
