  1. Pitching will be from 43’
  2. A pitcher can pitch a maximum of 4 innings.  One inning constitutes a pitch.  Only the starting pitcher can reenter the game.  Extra innings count as new game.
  3. No new inning can start after 1:45 hours.  Umpire’s discretion on when to call a game because of darkness on a field without lights
  4. Games will be 7 innings in length.
  5. Cinderella batting will be in effect.
  6. We will play ten on the field at once.  The tenth player is an outfielder and must be positioned as such.
  7. Only the number of girls on the larger sized team in a game can bat in one inning.  For example, if a team of ten plays a team of twelve, both teams can bat a maximum of twelve in an inning.  This rule does not apply in the final inning, which allows unlimited batters.
  8. Infield Fly rule does apply.
  9. Dropped third strike rule does not apply.  A dropped third strike is a strikeout.
  10. A maximum of two bases per inning can be taken on steals, wild pitches, passed balls, and overthrows on steals.  For example, if a girl leads off with a walk, steals second, and the attempted throw goes into centerfield and she takes third, that team is done advancing for the inning.
  11. Only second and third, but not home, can be stolen or advanced in this manner.
  12. There is no limit on HBP, other than what the umpire deems a safety issue.
  13. Where not otherwise specified, High School rules will apply.
