What you need






1. Bat (34" to 38" long and 11/2" wide)



2. Ball (2" diameter 1.6 oz. miniature baseball)



3. At least 2 players

Base runners are kept track of on paper and advance as many bases as the hit. For example, batter # 1 gets a base hit and is on first. Batter # 2 hits a double. The man on first advances two bases and you now have a man on second (batter # 2) and third (batter # 1). Batter # 3 walks. Since there was an open base, batter # 3 did not "force" the runners, and you now have bases loaded. If batter # 3 would have gotten a base hit, all runners would have advanced one base and there would have been a first and third situation with a run scored.

St. Louis corkball is a fast-pitch game. The distance from home plate to the pitching rubber is 55ft. (60 ft 6 " in baseball). Pitchers throw overhand, from a mound, and feature fastballs, curveballs, knuckleballs, changeups, and, in some leagues, are even allowed to add substance to the ball.
