I managed to get a copy of the official rule book.

According to section 1.02 “The objective of each team is to win by scoring more runs than the opponent.”
According to section 1.03 “The winner of teh game shall be the team which shall have scored, in accordance with these rules, the greater number of runs at the conclusion of a regulation game.”

Quick! Somebody fax, email, twittter, or otherwise get to info to Bud Black quick! I dont’ think he realizes these rule changes. This may be what we need to do to win!

Well Padres, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
