What is a secure lead these days? What is the protocol when you are up by X amount of runs? Some teams want you to go "base to base"  If you are up by ten. I would love to read what is the definition of an appropriate leads. All teams can score in bunches so I say play the game as it should be you say what?

we were up 21-0 after 5 - went station to station-swing at first pick etc - bottom of 6 other team scores 13. We score 2 in top of 8 to make it 23-13 - bottom of 8 they score 7 with runners on 2nd and 3rd to end the game. we barely hung on to win.

Why go base to base? Play the game like men, keep running. We have been up by more than ten and lost.

I don't think you can put a number on it, you just have to sense when your opponent is indeed defeated. ... 6:30 game, 40 degree humidity in July, 17-4 in the 6th, is done I'd say. First week of September, crisp cool night, 28-10 in the 6th, keep going. Just keep an eye on the other team, when they start moving lethargically, take your foot off the gas.... just my thoughts !

My theory on scoring runs is when the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat.
