House Mosquito (1997/8)

 

For games from the 28th May onward, two rule changes have been implemented for the Mosquito division

a) The maximum runs per inning in all innings has been reduced to 5 - down from 6

b) When a pitcher is on the rubber with the ball in his possession, base runners SHALL NOT leave their bases until the pitched ball has left the pitcher's hand. If a runner starts to steal as soon as the pitcher releases the ball, he can steal any base without stopping. A runner CANNOT advance on a passed ball by the catcher. If the runner stops and waits to see if the catcher catches the ball before advancing to the next base or home, the runner must return to his base. This applies to any base.

Once the catcher has possession of the ball and throws it to any defensive player, base runners can leave their bases and advance until the pitcher is back on the rubber with the ball in his possession.
