ALTERNATING BATTING LINEUP:
Co-Rec teams will utilize the True Alternating method for their batting lineups. There is one lineup for the female batters and one lineup for the male batters. The batting order for each gender is required to stay the same. Male and female batters will alternate at-bats while following their respective lineups.
WALK RULE:
A walk to a male batter will result in a two base award. The next batter (a female) shall bat. EXCEPTION: With two outs, the female batter has the option to walk or bat.
‘RUNNER SAFETY’ RULE:
The runner is OUT if “the runner fails to keep contact with the base to which they are entitled until a
pitched ball is batted, touches the ground or reaches home plate.”
COURTESY RUNNER
Each team will be allowed to utilize a courtesy runner for one player (of each gender) for each inning.
• The courtesy runner will be a rostered non-player or the player who made the last out.
• If that player is on base, or if it is the 1st inning and no outs have been made, the courtesy runner will be determined by going backward in the batting lineup to the first available player (of the same gender.) If the
courtesy runner is still on base when it is his/her turn to bat, that runner will go in to bat and the replacement runner will be the last player (of the same gender) to have crossed the plate.
• If an illegal runner takes the base, the defensive team may protest that runner. If this protest is made prior to the next pitch the illegal courtesy runner will be declared out. If the defensive team fails to protest prior to
the next pitch it is no longer a protestable situation and the runner shall be considered legal.
