There are perhaps two situations in the examples you've  given:

(1) Very possibly a typo for nine-run eighth inning.

4/19/01 Newsday, "Brian Daubach strokes a three-run homer during
Boston's
mine-run eighth inning."

(2) A term recorded in MW3 meaning either the "unsorted product of a
mine" or in a figurative sense "product of common or average grade"

3/11/01 News & Record, "They do tend to make ordinary, mine-run
politicians
look a little dingy by comparison."

07/18/94 American Lawyer Newspapers Group, "In the 'mine run' of cases
it
may not be so very difficult because more or less similar cases have
blazed
trails."
