Pre-Game Facility Guidelines
BATTING PRACTICE
There will be no on-field batting practice before any competition.
The site has batting cages available for use. Only the teams preparing for the next game at will be allowed to use the cages starting as follows: Home team: 90 minutes before game time for 30 minutes Visitor: 60 minutes before game time for 30 minutes
Cleats or turf shoes are okay in the cages.
Whiffle balls or soft balls may be hit prior to the game on an auxiliary field or open grass area.
Please do not hit any type of ball into fencing at any of the sites.
Teams must provide their own baseballs for batting practice.
INFIELD/OUTFIELD PRACTICE
NO infield/outfield will be allowed prior to games -this helps keep the field in shape (grass really struggles in the arid environment of the Tri-cities) and gives the field prep crew sufficient time to get your playing surface in good condition.
Ground balls and fly balls may be taken in the outfield prior to games. Please stay off of the infield and foul lines!
