Why 15? why 8? (mercy rule)

Here's one that is one of my all-timers (and even better, true story!):

Team A is behind 13-0 going into top of 3.
Team A scores two runs, making it 13-2.
Team A coach goes up to PU after top of third.
"OK, blue, we got your 15 after 3, we're done."

PU: "Ok, that's ball game." Goes out to circle to pick up ball, tells is BU to shut up and they trot off the field.

Well, with that math, then 8-7 after 3 is also GAME!
