In situations like this, I have always wondered why the losing team continues to play. If they really are that upset by the other team running up the score, why don't they just concede the game?
In many other contests this is an option. For example, in boxing one can "throw in the towel" and in chess resigning when it is clear you will lose is considered the graceful and sporting thing to do.
I know there are those that will argue the never quit theory, but seriously 115-2. I guess my point is that they should make a decision: either continue to play and take your beating, or say that's enough and hit the showers when it is 50-2. You certainly won't be national news in the latter case.
