There are three outs per inning.

• Outs are made when:– a fielder catches a fly ball in the air.– a fielder tags a base runner who is not on a base

with a hand holding the ball.– a fielder tags a base before the runner in a forced

out situation.– the batter strikes out

• Batters may not bunt.

When a batter strikes the ball with their bat they become a runner and attempt to advance to first base.

Runners will then run the bases as in baseball.

If a team does not have enough players to continue in the proper batting order, the runners will be replaced by “ghost runners.”

If a ball is hit over the top of the “Green Monster,” it will be ruled a home run.

If a ball is hit into the mulch garden or bushes behind the “Green Monster,” it will be ruled a ground rule double.
