• After each game you need to enter your pitching and catching stats online. (Team coach or manager may want to do this)

• Go to players page WWW.SSJSB.org. click on your age division then click “Scorekeepers enter stats here”

• Please remember to enter the winner of the virtual game ball the players enjoy reading this on the website.

• Errors: If the ball touches the fielders glove, if its bobbled on the field. Exception is when it’s a hard hit.

• Infield Fly Rule: "By the book" with less than 2 outs, runners on 1st and 2nd or bases loaded a fair fly ball to the infield that can be caught by an infielder inc. the pitcher or catcher with ordinary effort is an "infield fly".  The batter-runner is out and the ball remains alive.  Runners may advance at their own risk.
