The fielding team are pemitted to stand anywhere within the field they choose. The first batter is to walk up to the stand and hit the ball of it to wherever they like. Once they hit the ball they must run the bases choosing to stop at any base they want. Fielders must field the ball and then get it to the base the batter is running to.(To try and get them out) If the batter has already stopped on a base the ball is to be returned to the pitcher (orange). Once three batters get out the teams will swap. Total of 3 innings each side. A batter is consided out if: A) a fielder catches the ball on the full. B)The fielders get the ball to the base before the batter arrvies.
