That last score was HS, where in VA we still follow the 15 after 5 run rule. It was 15 after one!! It is hard to imagine why it is still in place when almost every other rule set is 12,10,8. The girls all even started to line up after 3, and then were told 'no, 2 more innings'.

After a little while it is hard to even think about the game. I hope my DH today is better.
Happens at the college level also. Had a college DH last week where there were nine runs scored in the first inning before any outs were made. Final score was 21-0 with the run rule in effect after five innings.

Second game also ended with the run rule in effect after five innings, final score was 21-3.
