Guest UHCoog14 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Is GCM still playing? No! They were able to walk off the field with only 1 out in the inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good lord. The definition is pretty clear. The HR results in the home team winning. PERIOD.

In order to expand the definition of a walk off HR to little league, high school, and NCAA regulated games you HAVE to take into account a victory via the mercy rule. In that case, when the home team hits a HR that [b]"results in a win for the home team"[/b] it is by definition a walk off HR. It could also be a walk off base on balls, single, double or triple.
