Spooky Ball Rules

  1. Foul balls caught by fans will give the team pitching an additional out their next plate appearance.
  2. Teams will be required to incorporate a specific prop each time they come to the plate. Oversized boxing gloves, hula-hoops, and capes are just some of the choices. No prop can be used twice in one inning.
  3. Batters must dance as they come to the plate. 
  4. Batters may steal first base at anytime during their at-bat, however they must carry first base with them the rest of the time on the basepaths. They must earn their steal!
  5. Each team can sling shot a second ball (once per inning) into play during a ball batted in play. Both balls will be live and apart of the at bat.
  6. Each team must bat and pitch from their non-dominate hand each inning.
  7. A running timer will count down starting at 2 hours.  As many innings that can be played will be played in that time.
  8. A mascot must bat and play the field every inning.
  9. Fans can play catch on the field after the game.
  10. And MUCH MORE!
