* There will be no walks. Once the 4th ball has been pitched to any batter (as called by the umpire), the batter keeps the strike count and the coach of the batter will then come in and pitch until there is a hit, strike out, ground out, or fly out. The coach will be allowed up to 3 pitches only to complete the strike count, per batter they face. The umpire will call balls and strikes on the coach pitches as well. If the player fouls off the coach pitch, an additional pitch will be given until the batter strikes out, gets a hit, grounds out, or flies out.
** The team batting will continue until they receive 3 outs in an inning or have batted through their lineup. The maximum number of batters allowed in each 1/2 inning will be once through the line up or to a number equal to the team having the greater number of players.
*** Player can try for a double if hit to the outfield on the fly. Runners can only advance as many bases as the batter.
