Ruby was telling them to surrender before Yang even showed up.

That means somehow they were able to win.

Mercury and Emerald had thought they had lost.

Mercury was frustrated and Emerald was waiting for Cinder to shift the tide.

But there shouldn't have been a tide to shift. They've completely undermined the villains strength. Dude, look at Hazel's arms. They're deflated during that scene. He's out of dust. And while his body can ignore the pain, it still is damaged from doing so much. Hazel couldn't fight at that moment. And considering that it was then 3 vs. 7 (Ozcar was barely moving), and they were all exhausted, they were cornered by numbers alone.
