New Rule Will Mean Sudden-Death Home Runs if the Boise Hawks Tie
If a game is tied after nine innings this season, instead of playing into the 10th, the Boise Hawks will have to enter a fierce home run shoot-out to decide who wins.
No stress, right? It's hard enough to hit a home run during a regular at-bat, and now the pressure will really be on with the game on the line and a win or a loss potentially coming after one swing of the bat. This season, if a Boise Hawks game is tied after 9 innings, instead of extra innings a "Knock-Out Rule" will kick in, and both teams will be part of a sudden death home run duel.
