1937 5 March 12, 2006^1:00pm Jaydawg^7 Tournament rules call for games to be stopped if a team is ahead by 10 runs after 7 innings. How does that explain the U.S./ So. Africa game being stopped with a 17-0 lead after "5"? (A special shout-out to Red Sox Chick for pointing this out) www.sportsline.com/mlb/wbc/gamecenter/recap/WBSC_20060310_NETH@PAN World Baseball Classic Red Sox Chick 1475 2542 0 Red Sox Chick, by way of CBS Sportsline, found out this interesting fact. Thanks, Cyn... I know South Africa was being humiliated out there (what do you expect from Cricket players?), but I don't remember hearing about them forfeiting the game. So, it's a mystery as to why the game was called after five innings.
