You can do it using a setInterval call like this

var timer, delay = 300000; //5 minutes counted in milliseconds.

timer = setInterval(function(){
    $.ajax({
      type: 'POST',
      url: '<?php echo base_url().'index.php/score-refresh/scorecard';?>',
      success: function(html){
        $('.score_news').append(html);
      }
    });
}, delay);

if you need it to stop at some point call

clearInterval(timer);
