O’CONNOR PARK (WARD II)
Imaginary lines from the end of the fence, which runs parallel to the base lines to the end of the last pole on
the 3rd base, foul fence. At the end of that fence straight back to the swamp edge. Player fielding a ball in
that area may throw over the out of play area. From the end of the 1 st base foul fence an imaginary line
straight out to right field foul pole.
Batted fair balls rolling under, outside, through, or bouncing over the fence will result in the batter being
awarded two bases. This applies even though a defensive player might have previously touched the ball
unless in the Umpire’s judgment the fielder deliberately intended for the ball to go into an out-of-play area.
When a battered ball becomes lodged in, on, or under the fence, a fielder should not touch it. He should
immediately raise his hand to signal the Umpire. The umpire will then confirm the situation. The batter
will be awarded two bases. If the ball is touched at any time by a player in any of the foregoing
circumstances outline in this paragraph, the ball shall remain in play.
The umpire shall determine whether a “fair” batted ball passed through or over an opening in the fence. If
through, two bases, if over, home run.

have previously been toughed by a defensive player unless in the Umpire’s judgment the fielder
deliberately intended for the ball to go into an out – of – play area.
