The idea of a smaller field happened because they played indoors during the winter to stay in shape for baseball season. 1889 winter leagues formed with softer balls in diameter of 10 to 20 inches. By 1913 games and leagues formed and were taken outdoors

  4. Hitting • To reach base you must hit the ball on the field between lines. • Hit in air and caught you are out • Hit on the ground and you beat the throw to any of the four basesyou are safe

  5. Fielding You must catch ball in the air for an out If the ballis hiton the ground, you must throw to the base before runner reaches for an out. Force out if runner has another runner behind them or are running from home to first.
