Team Canada was so good in World Baseball Classic debut they ended the game early TeamCanada Baseball
If you ever played sports as a kid, you probably remember the mercy rule, no matter which side of the equation you found yourself on. It places a cap on just how much you can win a game by, ensuring that nobody has their feelings hurt because sports is about having fun or some other dumb saying the coach tells you when you lose.
According to WBC rules, games are ended when a team is ahead by 10 runs after at least seven innings. Great Britain and Canada fought back and forth in the early innings, but Canada would break the game wide open with a four-run third inning and a six-run fourth inning. At the end of 6, the Canadian squad was up 18-8, giving the Brits just three outs to earn back a run and avoid an embarrassing invocation of the mercy rule.
