Welcome to September! We technically do not have permits any longer, but we have never had an issue playing in September as long as the weather cooperates. We SHOULD be on our normal field, but on the off chance someone is there, we will relocate to field 8, which is across from our normal field. I will make the announcement if so.

Equipment & Gameplay
Gear: Wear sneakers/cleats. Bring a glove if you have one (limited extras available). Balls and bats provided, but feel free to bring your own bat if you prefer.
Batting: batters start with a 0-0 count and we work with a 3 swing rule. If your third swing is a foul, you will be out even if it is not caught.
Baserunning: No leads or stealing. Slide at your own risk (field conditions are not great for sliding).
Field Rules: A ball will be considered DEAD if it is hits a tree, over a fence, behind the backstop, or long there is overthrow at 1B. Runners advance one base. A ball is LIVE if it hits the fence along 3B or if it is hit deep into the trees.
Positions: Pitcher and Catcher will rotate unless someone wants to play that position the whole game
