Blowout

[Dakota]

Our mercy rules varies by conference.

For some, it is 15/5; for others, it is 10/5. None (that I am aware of) use anything after 3.

But what I found interesting in the article was this...

Brebeuf built a 9-0 lead in the first. It became apparent to McDonald that the game would get out of hand. So he used a strategy Tuesday that was similar to what Zionsville did a year ago.

When McDonald sent his players up to bat in the second inning, he said he told them to hold on all passed balls and wild pitches and advance only when forced to the next base.

followed later in the article by this..

Tech coach Troy Hammond couldn't be reached immediately, but Tech athletic director Frank Craig said Hammond was "not real happy about it. He told me they were still stealing bases in the fifth inning."

Either the players didn't do what their coach told them to do, or somebody is "enhancing" the truth.
