FIELD GROUND RULES
BORO PARK #1 FIELD
1st Base Side
Out of Play: From end of fence in front of bench
on a diagonal line to light extension pole.
Goal Post: Ball to right of goal post that
rolls into parking lot is an automatic
double.
When
nets ARE NOT in the goal
posts and a batted ball enters or goes through the
goal
posts, play will continue and the ball remains in play.
When
nets ARE in the goal posts
and a batted ball enters the net, play will be stopped
and
the batter will be credited with a ground rule double.
If
ball lands in parking lot, in the air, it is an automatic home run, as we do not
want
players chasing balls into the parking lot.
If
ball hits any part of a goal post, the ball is in play and the runner can take
as
many
bases as he can. The same holds true for
any trees in fair territory.
3rd Base Side:
Out of Play: From end of fence in front of bench
on a diagonal line to corner post fence in front of bushes.
