LAW & ORDER
It’s basically like baseball. We will play 7 innings - team with most points at the end, wins!
Tag up base on pop fly before running to next base
OK to run thru 1st base and home but must stay on 2nd & 3rd to be safe
Out if pop fly caught, tagged with ball in hand or thrown and hit below the head
4 foul balls = out, bunts ok if in bounds
Close calls on base - dance off! (pitcher is the ref - or someone who isn’t playing)
OK to steal base if the ball is not with the pitcher
