  • On a baseball diamond, set up a defensive alignment consisting of a back catcher, a pitcher, players on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, a shortstop playing between 2nd and 3rd, and 4 out fielders.

  • Line up the offensive team behind the back-stop in the order they will be hitting the ball. The batting order is maintained throughout the game.

  • Teams provide their own pitcher who pitches a maximum of 3 pitches to each player.
