WIFFLE® Rochester Game Situation Rules
- All batted balls must reach the fair play line to be playable, otherwise it is a foul ball.
- A ground ball fielded before landing past the infield line is an out. Juggling or deflecting to the fielder in the air is an out, as long as the ball does not hit the ground. A players position to the infield line does not matter, the ball is the key, it must land past the line to be ruled a hit. If the ball hits the line and is caught, it is still an out.
- If a batted ball is dropped by a fielder and the ball falls on the ground, it will be ruled an error and one base will be awarded.
- Any fair ball that goes past the infield line will be ruled single.
- A ball hitting a cone is an automatic single, all runners advance one base.
- Any ball that touches beyond the infield line in foul territory is a foul ball, even if it bounces back into fair territory.
- A fly ball hitting the fielder then the wall is ruled a double.
- A ground ball that comes to a complete stop in the infield is ruled a single.
- A fly ball hitting the wall first and then being caught by a fielder is ruled a double and all base runners advance two bases.
- Any ball that reaches the wall on the ground or by bouncing and is untouched will be ruled a double.
- A fly ball hitting the wall then the ground is ruled a triple.
- A fly ball hitting a fielder, who is not within six feet of the wall, and continuing over the wall is ruled a double.
- A fly ball clearing the wall is a home run. If a fielder touches a fly ball, and is within six feet of the wall, and the ball goes over the wall it will be ruled a home run.
- A fly ball hitting the top of the wall and continuing over the wall will be a ruled home run.
- If in an attempt to field the ball, the outfielder breaks, rips or dislodges the home run fence, it will be ruled a home run regardless of where ball ends.
- A fly ball hitting the foul pole above the wall is a home run.
