DANVILLE BAPTIST CHURCH SOFTBALL FIELD GROUNDRULES:
1.) Any fly ball that lands in the parking lot is a homerun, and is considered an over the fence homerun. The parking lot home run boundary continues on a straight line from the parking lot to the tree line in left field, where there is less than ten feet of grass. In other words, it is possible to pull a ball down the left field line, and have it land fair on grass beyond the beginning of the parking lot. If this should happen, that ball is a homerun. (The same boundary will be in effect for the ground rule double rule.)
There is also a light pole and a basketball net (with pole & backboard) in the field of play in left field. If a batted ball should bounce off the light pole or the basket
ball pole & backboard, before hitting the ground, and then lands directly on the blacktop, that ball is a homerun. Should a batted ball bounce off either one of the poles, hit the ground, & then role into the parking lot, it is a ground rule double. Should a ball bounce off one of those poles or the backboard, and remain in the field of play, the ball is live and remains in play (Note: Should there occasionally be a portable toilet down the left field line, the same rules would apply).
2.) Any batted ball that hits the ground, and then rolls into the parking lot is a GROUND RULE DOUBLE, with the exception of a ball that rolls into the parking lot in center field to the right of the 11th parking line from the right of the basketball net (marked in green) which shall be a GROUND RULE TRIPLE. Any batted ball that hits the ground & roles into the tree line down either the right or left field lines is a ground rule double.
3.) Any thrown ball that hits off the backstop or the fence is in play. The boundary line for ball that are out of play run on a straight line from the fence to the tree line down the first base & third base lines.
4) Should a batted ball hit a tree branch, or come down through a tree branch in foul territory, that ball is in play, unless the umpire rules that the tree altered the path of the ball, allowing a fielder to catch a ball that has clearly bounced off a tree branch, in which case the batted ball is a strike (i.e. foul ball). Should a batted ball hit a tree branch overlapping into fair territory down the left field foul line, altering the path of the ball, that ball will be declared a ground rule double, regardless if the ball is caught or not.
(Side note: The third base dugout is the dugout for the Danville Baptist Church for all games they play on the Danville Baptist Church field.) |
