What is the score and what inning?

[DogsWin]

What is the score and what inning?

Bottom of the 6th, currently down 3-7 with nobody out.

[girldawg]

Make that 9-3 with no outs.

[TYLERTECHSAS]

On another note, the Lady Techsters are playing #25 Hawaii but are behind 4-0 right now I believe.

Are we 10 run ruled??

[girldawg]

I'm not sure the softball game is going to go much better, but I'm out of here. Hope the Dawgs are ready to play tomorrow.

Why did we play 7 innings in the DH against San Jose, but 9 in yesterday's games?

2nd game of DH was 7 innings.

We played a 9 inning game in the first game on Saturday and a 7 inning game for the second game. From what I understand, since the WAC is the only conference that plays 4 game weekends, the second game of the double header Saturday is always a 7 inning game. Tech lost that game 14-4. Another item I recently learned is that a 10 run mercy rule (after 7 innings) is allowed by the NCAA if both coaches agree to it. In the WAC, this is a conference requirement in all conference games. I would assume that these WAC modifications to "normal play" are due to the 4 game weekend and the added hardships on a WAC pitching staff with so many games in only 3 days.

Also, I can't speak for the other conferences, but the WAC allows ties on Sunday's games (I believe it's only Sunday) due to travel restrictions. This happened in a game between NM State and Nevada last weekend.

I guess due to the travel distances and longer (by # of games) conference weekends, the WAC had to impose slightly different rules than the rest of the country. If I have any of these statements wrong, someone please correct me.

Correct. I'm not sure on the Sunday tie but as far as the series, all conference games are 10 run rule and the double hearder is a 9inning and a 7inning game unless the first game ends in a 10 run rule then the 2nd game becomes 9 innings.
