LOCAL RULE 5: Putting the
Ball in Play;
|
|
|
LOCAL |
|
| 7A | If an umpire sees a runner miss a base or if the runner leaves early tagging up on a fly ball, at the end of the play the umpire will call the runner out. An appeal is not necessary. |
| 7B |
A runner is out if the runner does not slide or attempt to get around the fielder who has the ball or who is about to have the ball and is waiting to make a tag at a base. A fielder may not block a base path with the intent to cause a collision that will prevent the runner from reaching the base. The intent of this rule is to avoid a collision between players by the runner intentionally charging into a fielder to jar the ball loose and further causing injury to one or both of the players. For definition of Obstruction by a fielder, see The Official Baseball Rules. |
| 7C | There must be at least one adult coach on the baselines. Players who are coaching at a base must wear a batting helmet while on the playing field. |
