  • Any team with more than 3 players can bat 4-6 players.
  • The number of players batting each game must remain constant for the entire game.

  • To get lead runners out, fielder must throw the ball to teammate at the advancing base.
  • Runners can get hit by the wiffle ball to be called out. If it hits the ground and then hits the runner, they are out (pegs are allowed).
