All games will consist of seven innings with the following exceptions: Contact us at [email protected] a. If the time limit expires in the middle of an inning, the inning may be completed unless the home team is at bat and ahead at that point. b. If a game is tied at the end of seven innings, an extra inning may be played, time permitting. If tied at the expiration of time, only one additional inning will be played. If still tied, a tie will be recorded in the standings for both teams. c. If any team is behind by 12 runs or more at the completion of five innings, the game shall be called in favor of the team ahead. d. 14. If at anytime, the lights go off after an official game (5 complete innings) the game will revert back to the last completed inning. However, from the 5th inning on, should the home team be ahead when the lights go out, the win goes to the home team. b. Any ball that lands on home plate or the 18-inch mat that lies directly behind home plate is a strike. 15. Double first base: The batter shall use the orange bag unless the ball is hit out of the infield, then the batter may round the base using the white bag. Note: On a hit to the infield, the batter/runner should use the orange part of the bag. However, if the runner uses the white portion he can be called out only if the defense appeals prior to the batter/runner returning to first base. 16. All home plate outs will be force outs when the runner from third base crosses the two-thirds point. Also, all base runners must cross the line extending off the righthanded batter’s box, prior to the defensive team stepping on home plate with the ball. 17. The “catch and carry” rule will be played. 18. Courtesy runner. Teams may have a courtesy runner, if prior to the game the coach advises the umpire he/she has an injured player. Also, during the game if a player is injured, he/she may request a courtesy runner. The batter must reach first base safely before he/she can be replaced with a courtesy runner. The coach must replace this player with the player who made the last out. This rule applies to both the men’s and coed leagues. However, in coed, should a woman require a courtesy runner, she must be replaced with the woman who made the last out. Should a man require a courtesy runner, he must be replaced with the man who made the last out. 19. The BLOOD RULE: A player, coach or umpire who is bleeding or who has blood on his/her uniform shall be prohibited from participating further in the game until appropriate treatment can be administered. If a runner needs to be substituted, the person who made the last out will be the substitute runner. The game will not be delayed, but the player will be allowed to return to the game when the bleeding has been contained and any clothing that has blood on it has been removed. Free substitution will be allowed when the player can return to the game. If the Blood Rule leaves only seven players, the game may continue. Because of the Blood Rule, every player should have a change of clothing and every team should carry a first aid kit. Visit us online at www.novato.org/sports Softball Pitching Regulations: a.
