The inning is treated as a final inning unless the Home Team can produce a run to shorten the spread. If the Home Team cannot score a run during their turn at bat, the game is called and the Visiting Team wins. For the Home Team: If the Home Team scores 7 runs more than the Visiting Team's current score, the game is called and the Home Team wins. The inning is treated as the final inning and the Visiting Team does not get an opportunity to rally.
