Rules

Two women must play field positions each inning.
Runners do not touch home when scoring, they must cross a line. This is to avoid injuries. If runner touches home plate they are out.
If a pitcher walks a player on 4 straight balls when a woman is on deck, the woman may chose to take first base.
No stealing or leading off the base. Foot must stay incontact with base until ball is hit
10 players may take the field. 4 outfielders are allowed, all outfielders must stay on the grass and not come to the infield
A player who hits a foul ball on third strike is out.
No new inning will start after 90 minutes of play.
Winning team can only score 5 runs per inning, losing team can score up to 5 more runs than the winning team.
Pitchers will throw the ball no higher then 12ft and no lower then 6ft.
Players must be 15 years or older.
When running to first, runners use orange base and fielder uses white base
If a pinch runner is needed, the player that was last out or any female player may run.
In field fly rule will be in effect.
You will bat your entire roster.
A batter is not allowed to bunt for a hit.
The home team has the opportunity, in the final inning, to score as many runs as possible to take the lead- this would nullify the 5 run rule for previous innings.
If the batter is hit by a pitch, they are not rewarded with first base.
Any play at home is a force play. There will be no tag plays at home.
No sliding into any base. Any sliding will result in an automatic out and a deadball on the play.
Home Team is listed last on schedule (Ex. Team 1 vs Team 2---- Team 2 is the home team)
