LEAGUES PARTICIPATING:

South Jefferson Little League: East Jefferson Little League Port Townsend Little League

This division of play will be conducted in accordance with Little League Baseball’s book of Rules and Regulations

Please note:

Two (2) hour time limit:
No inning will start after the 2-hour limit has elapsed. (A new inning starts the moment the third out is made in the previous inning.) A game may go 2 ½ or 3 hours in order to finish the last inning.

Teams:
All members on the Team roster must be included in the batting order for the entire game. An inning is over when three (3) outs have been made by the defense or nine (9) batters have completed their time at bat. The inning to follow must be started with 10, 11, 12 ….. until three (3) outs or nine batters. Only nine will be allowed in the field on defense.

Base stealing is allowed in Minor A baseball ages 8-12 division only. You may not steal home unless there is a play made on a base runner.
The ball is dead when: the pitcher is standing within four (4) feet of the pitching rubber with the ball or in the umpires’ judgment, all play has ceased.

Pitching machine:
The Minor baseball ages 7-9 division will bat against a pitching machine operated by a coach or qualified adult. The home team will supply the umpire for the game.
Each batter will receive seven pitches. (A pitch that bounces before reaching the plate or is obviously not a hitable pitch will be declared “NO PITCH” if the ball is not swung at.) There will be no walks. A batter is out if he/she swings and misses three (3) pitches or lets the seventh pitch go by without swinging. If a pitch hits a batter, another pitch will be awarded.

If either a thrown or batted ball hits the pitching machine, the ball is immediately declared a dead ball. If a batted ball hits the pitching machine all runners return to bases and the batter receives the pitch over. If a thrown ball hits the pitching machine it is the judgment of the umpire in awarding the bases to the runners.
At no time will a player take a position on the infield near or around the moving part of the pitching machine (the side of the wheel.)

No stealing or bunting against the pitching machine.
The pitching machine will be set at 50.

8-12 AGE DIVISION (Minor A): Six innings of live pitching starting with the first game of the regular season.

7-9 AGE DIVISION (Minor C): All innings against the pitching machine.

The protest committee will consist of one (1) person from each league. The A.D.A will assist the committee when needed.
