For the first six equal innings, we were up by seven or fewer runs. WE hit the eight or more runs in the top of the seventh, so they played the bottom of the seventhh (to the "equal inning" clause).

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.
