You should be able to get a win through the mercy rule without any issues. To win a game through the mercy rule you need to have a 10 run lead over the other team. Also keep in mind the game will no end right away, after the 3rd out in the bottom of the inning the game will end, as long as there is a 10+ run lead over the other team. With the above mentioned settings and tips, this shouldn't take longer than an hour to beat each team with the mercy rule.
If by some chance you messed up you can quite out of the game and replay it and it will still count, if you win by the mercy rule

I originally had difficulty doing this in Game #1 with your original lineup. However it's a breeze if you get your timing down, press up on the left stick and use a power swing almost every time and use your power ups to get men on base before your user-created player.
After that it's all a piece of cake. After winning Keisha, I beat the next team in 3 innings.

This is a small change to the solution lX CaptHowdy Xl
already had posted. I followed his exactly and you should too for the easiest and quickest way to get this achievement popped.
The only difference is I played Quantum Field first and The Rooftop second. I played The Rooftop first and lost three games in a row so I moved on and won the match at Quantum Field first try. Then I had two batters with high power and had a much easier time beating The Rooftop team.
It might seem like a little detail but for me it made a huge difference. After defeating those two teams you should have plenty of power hitting to mercy rule the rest of the teams.
REMEMBER: When batting with anyone who has 4 or more stars on their power stat ALWAYS push up and use the B power swing. Save your specials for the lesser batters to try to get the team to bat around and get back to the power hitters again (thus also popping the "Batting Around" achievement.)
One last thing, make sure on the bonus games to do one of each and KEEP RETRYING until you win!! It'll pop the "Decked Out" achievement while you're getting this one. Plus if you fail one and don't retry until you get it you'll have to play story mode again to get it, and that's bad times!
If you have any issues with this solution please let me know before you vote negatively and I'll fix it.
