7-8 Girls Machine Pitch 2017 1. Games will be played with real 11 inch softballs instead of rubber balls. 2. 3 outs or 8 runs scored will constitute the end of a team’s turn to bat. No more than 8 runs regardless. 3. Coaches need to agree on the loft and speed of the ball before the game. This is the responsibility of both coaches. Do not turn the machine up above 4 on the speed. 4. Each girl will get 5 pitches regardless of whether they swing or not. Batter will stay at bat if the fifth pitch is a foul ball. There is no limit on foul balls for a batter. The batter will be rewarded an extra pitch if the umpire determines that one of the pitches was unhittable (not a ball but unhittable). 5. Out fielders must stay in the grass while the batter is batting. No stacking the infield. If a game happens to be played on the south diamond the outfielder may come five feet in from the grass while the batter is up. Once the ball is in play they can go anywhere. 6. To control the skill level of the game, play can be stopped by holding up the ball above the players head once it is in the infield. A runner cannot advance any more bases, if they have already rounded the base they may advance to the next base. Once the ball is held up the ball is dead and no more play can happen regardless of the players reactions afterwards. The umpire will determine when the play is stopped and whether runners were advancing. 7. Games will be 1 hour long. 8. If a team is trailing in the last inning they may score unlimited runs. If the game is tied in the last inning then both teams can score unlimited runs. 9. There is no stealing, runs can only be scored on runners batted in. 10. If a ball is batted and hits the machine it is a deadball and the player is rewarded advancement to first base. This counts as a base hit and all other players may advance one base. 11. A team must have 6 players to not forfeit. Said team must play a catcher, no option. 12. Please no jewelry that can hurt the player or other players. 13. There is a zero tolerance policy in how umpires or staff is treated. 14. For any questions or concerns please call Matt Cutler 435-230-8907 or email
