Rule 1 |
"Ghost runners" will be
used at all times and they will advance the number of bases
according to the type of hit. |
| |
Example 1 |
With a man on first, a
single will send the baserunner to second base. |
| |
Example 2 |
With a man on second, a
single will send the baserunner to third base, or a double will
advance the runner two bases and score the runner. |
|
Rule 2 |
Fielder's choice ground
balls always get the lead runner out. |
|
Rule 3
|
One
successful
stolen base of second base is allowed per team, per game. The team that is batting
needs to declare to the umpire and the opposing team "We
are attempting to steal second base" before the pitcher delivers
his next pitch. Upon the pitch, if the batter takes the pitch or
swings and misses and the pitched ball stays in the strike zone
netting, the runner is out stealing. If the batter takes the
pitch or swings and misses and the pitched ball does not stay in the
strike zone netting, the runner successfully steals second base. If the batter
swings and gets a hit during the attempted steal (a hit and run), the runner advances one
extra base further than normal.
Note: A
team may attempt an unlimited amount of stolen bases prior to a
successful steal of second base, however, once a team has successfully stolen a
base, they may no longer make a steal attempt. |
Rule 4
|
A pinch runner may be
used once per team, per game. The team at bat needs to declare
to the umpire and the opposing team "We are pinch running for the
baserunner on ____________ base." In the event of hit, the
pinch runner advances one base beyond what a normal baserunner would
advance. This advantage continues until that runner
either scores, is forced out, or the inning is completed. Once
the pinch running advantage expires, this option is no longer
available to a team. The pinch running advantage does not
effect the batting order, and once that option is exhausted, normal
baserunning rules resume for the remainder of the game. |
