Note:
Balls: this season we are using Baden Fire senior softballs.

  • Each team will receive 13 balls, managers will mark each ball with their team name and be responsible for bringing them to their games.

  • Teams will hit their own balls and be responsible for retrieving their own home run and foul balls. The league will not fetch balls for you; board members are here to play ball just like you are, they are not your butler.

  • We are using the same number of balls as last season, we are only changing how they are distributed. We recommend keeping your balls in a sack and have enough balls to play a full game.

  • We purchased extra balls in case someone forgets theirs or ruined the ones they were given.

  • If a team wants or needs additional balls, they will be available for sale at a cost of $5 per ball.

  • Do not use game balls for your personal batting practice sessions, you will be disappointed is you overuse them and are hitting mush balls in the playoffs.

Home Runs: we have changed the home run rules.

  • Each team may hit a maximum of (6) per game

  • Subsequent home runs will be recorded as an out.
