In Little League Baseball, rules usually call for the game to end if the winning team is ahead by 10 runs after five innings. In some leagues, this margin may be as little as eight.

What is an organized baseball game?

A pretty vague question. Organized baseball usually refers to an agreed upon league of teams that play each other over the course of a year or season. You can organize a single game like an old timers game, a tournament of games or an entire season. There are agreed upon rules and usually a rule book, a schedule, impartial umpires, ground rules and even specific rules for mercy such as in little league and Knothole baseball. Unorganized baseball is referred to as sandlot baseball where there are no set rules, no umpires, there doesn't even have to be 9 players on each team.


What is the origin of the pine tar rule in baseball?

One manager from Chicago regulated the rule. Hilariously, it was out of utter cheapness that the rule came to be. One rule in major league baseball is that when a ball is scuffed or marked (for instance by pine tar), it must be replaced immediately. This owner realized that he was spending a good amount of money on replacing pine tar covered baseballs. He contacted the league officials and convinced them to enact this rule (basically so he could save money). Truly odd answer... but it is true!

How much is a mercy in baseball?

The "mercy rule" is only used in some leagues. There is no mercy rule in the MLB. My local Little League had a rule that if one team was up by more than 10 after the 4th inning, the game would be over and the team with the lead wins. ---------- 15 after 3 innings, 10 after 4 innings, and 8 after 5 innings is also a commonly used "mercy rule" in some leagues.

That rule doesn't exist in Little League International rules. Little League International allows for local rules to be established by individual leagues. That is likely a rule that a local league put into place for some reason.
