When they're invoking the mercy rule in college sports, you know you've crushed the competition.

If your team scores 20 runs in a game, you expect to get a win out of it. In fact, you expect to have won in dominant fashion. Unfortunately for Minnesota's Bemidji State, that's not always the case.

Sometimes you still lose. Sometimes you lose by 21 runs.

Minnesota State    41/35/2
Bemidji State        20/21/6

Yes, that's correct: the teams combined for 56 hits in a single game. That game--the second in a double-header--was called on the mercy rule basis in the 8th inning after Minnesota State put 14 runs on the board in their half of the inning.

Bemidiji State had a shot at redemption the next day, as they played Minnesota State in yet another double-header. So what'd they do?

Maybe pick up curling or something, guys.
