I have been asked about the total score record. It was set at 49 runs, it has happened twice over the last three years. once in 2021 and again this year. In 2021 there were 49,45,45,43 and 41. In 2022 there was 45, 44 , 43 and so far this year we have 49, 43,42, and 41. Lots of hitting going on or not as good of pitching? You make the call.

It seems that many managers are confused about the rules or just don’t know them. This passed week we have many rule violations that were not caught by the managers. It cause a different out come than what should have been.

Batting out of order, illegal pickup players, wrong rule for major tournaments, pitcher of record, courtesy runner rules.

These are just a few, I’m not allowed to bring it up to managers. But I really feel bad when I am not allowed to answer question about the rules with the managers, So do me a favor and read “Know your rules” above and then go to the Anniversary Booklet, if you don’t have one ask the scorekeeper for one.

The FSSL held its second meeting of the 2024 season and here are a few items that took place.

Rule changes:
1- Add the “pitcher as an infielder”.
2- Went back to any rostered play in the line-up or not will be allowed to be a courtesy runner.
3- NO other changes were made so things stay the same as last year.
