The mercy rule in baseball is when you are in the 5th inning or further into the game and u score ten runs more than the opponent and then you win if ur home team
If you away team then u have to old the home team because they have a chance to come back
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.
The mercy rule alltows the game to be ended early when one team has a very large and presumably insurmountable lead over the other team.
In NCAA and NAIA College Baseball, the game will end if a team is ahead by at least 10 runs after seven innings in a scheduled 9-inning game
It is when the leading team is so far ahead that it isnt competetive enough to play anymore, so it ends as that score.
