GAME PLAY RULES
1. The game will consist of six innings with a one-hour time limit.  After one hour, the home team will continue to bat until the completion of their turn.  If the visiting team is at bat when time expires, the game will refer back to the score of the last complete inning.

Players will be awarded a walk if they get 4 balls before making an out. A strikeout will occur when a player gets 3 strikes before walking or putting the ball in play. A pitched ball that strikes a player will be considered a ball.
