What is the ruling about the mercy rule and when does the game get called? Runs/innings

Earlier this week we had a game and lost due to the mercy rule but their coach told the umps it was 18 after 4 or 5. We only completed 4 innings, is this a complete game?

From the league rules...

11.3 An official game is three and one-half innings (3 ½) provided that the home team is leading at that time.
Otherwise four (4) complete innings shall constitute a complete game.

11.5 The Mercy Rule: If a team is leading by ten (10) or more runs at the time of, or after 5 innings
completed (4 ½ provided that the home team is leading at that time), the game is deemed complete and play
will cease.
