Seven Inning Game
During the Team Rep meeting – a majority of teams agreed to change our games to a seven-inning game to move in-line with other SPO leagues.
Milton Coed SPL will now play seven-inning games with an optional mercy after five innings. Inning six and seven will be open innings. For the optional mercy – the losing team can choose to call the game after five complete innings if they are down by 15 runs or more. Should the losing team determine to continue playing after five innings, a seven-inning game would be played (keep in mind the home team would not bat in the seventh inning if they were winning)
The Executive has approved the following wording which will be reflected in our Rules & Regulations:
-
Games will be played to 7 innings (if the designated home team is leading, then the bottom half of the inning is not played)
-
Maximum 5 runs per inning; runs unlimited in innings 6 & 7 innings
-
OPTIONAL MERCY RULE: is only to be called at the end of the 5th inning when one team has 15 or more runs than the other; 5th inning is not an open inning even when mercy may be called.
-
Only the losing team may call the mercy rule
-
Should the losing team decline a full seven-inning game must be completed
-
For transparency – 10 teams voted in favour of this change at the Team Rep Meeting (1 vote per team). These 10 teams were all present at the meeting.
Rules & Regulations
All team members should review the 2018 Rules & Regulations. Team Reps should print and have a copy of these rules on the bench to solve any disputes that may arise.
