Recreational: Whiffleball

Location: Whiffleball League for the Spring is held in the Bartley Center Schedule, Teams need a minimum of three players and a maximum of six players.

• Your own equipment can be used; including scuffed wiffleballs, and plastic bats with a maximum diameter of 3 inches.

• On defense there are two fielders and a pitcher. On offense the line up may include up to six players. Fielders can be rotated freely throughout the game. Once a pitcher is relieved, that pitcher cannot pitch again in that game.

• Games are four innings, three outs per inning. Four balls and three strikes for walk/strikeout.

• If a grounder is fielded cleanly (not letting the ball hit the ground once the fielder has touched it) in front of the singles line (the line right behind the pitchers mound), then the batter is out.

• If a grounder goes past the singles line or a fielder cannot field the ball cleanly in front of the line, the batter is awarded a single.

• If a ball is hit in the air past the singles line and is not caught, the batter is awarded a double.

• If a ball hits the wall in the air it is a triple; over the wall, a homerun.

• There is no running of the bases; all ghost runners.

• All hits advance base runners the value of the hit. (a double scores a runner from second; a single with a man at second leads to runners at first and third).

• If there is a force situation (runner on first, runners on first and second, runners on first and third, or bases loaded) a double play can occur. This can be achieved if the fielder cleanly fields a grounder in front of the singles line and then throws the ball into the strike zone in the air or on the bounce for the second out. The double play always gets the lead runners out and does not advance other base runners. If the throw misses the strike zone the lead runner is out and the batter gets to first base; the other base runners do not advance.
