="Yancy Street Gang"]="Nymr83"]="ScarletKnight41"]Double Play! Mexico Wins! No, Mexico "lost" when they SCORED, i still think this is very lame. I don't understand. If Mexico hadn't scored a run, how could they have advanced? Were they doomed from the start? It has something to do with the Runs Allowed per 9 innings that is used as a tiebreaker. To advance tonight Mexico would have had to played 13 innings without allowing a run to get their RA/9 down. After the 13th then if Mexico scored and won they would advance. By scoring a run earlier in the game Mexico created a situation that they would either win in 9 innings (as they did) or have to allow the USA to score a run to tie it up to go to extra innings but then pushing their RA/9 back up again.
